4 More Days!

The countdown is getting closer! I'm more excited than Josh is to get his new house I think. lol. Sunday around 6pm he gets the keys to his house. Last weekend I "enjoyed" shopping with him for some home decor. It was quite an adventure. When I go into a home store I could spend hours shopping for the perfect plate, glass or pillow...Well not him. Maybe it's just the typical male. I remember growing up my father was the same way. He would sit in the food court and wait for us to shop. Well after about an hour the calls would start, asking how much longer and saying he was ready to go. The problem is I'm a bargain shopper I like to compare prices and then go back to stores too. So I could spend hours looking for one thing. Don't get me wrong I like to get in and out at times and I have to be in the mood to shop. Which 99% of the time I'm in the mood! Hahaha. Anyways, many of his friends are married and have kids and their houses are all personalized by there wives. Well He does have a few single friends with houses, and they are really nice houses, but there the typical bachelor pads. Plain walls, no decor, just a couch and tv. So being Josh, he doesn't want that. He went picked out two bedroom suites, office, living room, and kitchen furniture. He did a pretty good job, besides the cream chair he got for the living room. I guess since he doesn't have any kids he thinks it wont get dirty, but I have to remind him of all his nieces and nephews, plus all of his friends that have several kids themselves. We picked out the bedding at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I like it, but I was set on the brown/blue theme for the master bedroom. I guess I can settle for the bathroom, laundry room, and guest room. lol. I'm cleaning carpets Monday, painting, wed and the furniture gets delivered Thursday. So It will be a busy busy week. I have had off the last six days so it would of been great to do all of that while I had that break, but of course it couldn't be that way. Much of the last week I have been feeling bad. I started having some stomach problems a few weeks ago and had some tests ran, and what came back was C-DIFF. Which isn't very fun. I have to be on strong antibiotics for the next two weeks, which in the beginning made me pretty sick. So hopefully I will get better soon. I'm ready for the nice weather to stay here. I hear there's a good chance it could reach the 80's this weekend. Of course I'm working Sat. Night, so it will be hard to nap durning the day if its that nice. Well enjoy your weekend and I will have pics soon. I know my work buddies are missing me..:) lol. (Chuckie, Marcy, Deb)


Josh's House..(Needs a little TLC)
