The “B”

Boy were we tired last night! I feel asleep around 9:30pm and woke up at 7am, then went back to bed until 11am!

After lunch, Hubs and I continued working on the basement. With the carpet and tile people coming tomorrow, we had to clean out everything we could.

Here are pictures of the basement this morning before we cleaned it out and then after.

The carpet people are supposed to come “after 9am,” which means they’ll probably show up about 4:45pm. You know how those service calls usually go. I do hope they come early. I’m taking tomorrow off from work so I’d really like for them to get in and get done, so I can use the rest of my day off to get the family room put together.

Tomorrow night Bennie is coming over and they’re going to help us put the entertainment center together. Hubs is DYING to get his new Sony Bravia 55″ TV set up. Poor guy has been soooo patient (it’s been sitting in the basement boxed up for the past 4 weeks).

Debbie, our cleaning lady, also comes tomorrow. I hope she can work without being interrupted by the carpet guys. I say that because the kitchen is a disaster area…the table is shoved into the island so the basement door is clear and they can bring in the carpet.

Every time she cleans, I feel the need to leave a note apologizing for the big mess! For as organized as I claim to be, there’s always some reason why the house is a mess when Debbie comes over.

Its shaping up to be another busy week. But, it’s a short week due to the holiday on Friday.

My Aunt Sher comes into town Saturday and we’re having a big Fourth of July picnic at my parents house Sunday night. Swimming, bar-b-que, drinks… a good time will be had by all.

  2. I bought my new Vera Bradley bag and am ready to travel! At least you don’t have to get everything ready for a party at your house.

    I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE EVERYBODY!
