Somewhat good! We got a LOT of work done today. All the painting (of the walls) is now done in the kitchen, dining room and the main wall of the foyer. I still need to do the accent color in the foyer, but the main wall is done! YAY! The hubby got up the trim around the dining room door so trim needs to be painted there and around the house. That's another plan of attack! :D Hubby got up flashing and some trim. Tomorrow is more trim and the top flashing. We will see if we have the time and energy to get up some siding! We also were able to order our windows for our bedroom. Woot! Not to mention, we had a FUN (feel the sarcasm!) encounter with our insurance again this AM. We have decided if the MF'n Adjuster calls again, we will NOT deal with him. We will refer him to our contractor or tell him to call his immediate boss. I refuse to deal with the man anymore. He called my house at 8AM on a SATURDAY! This was his 5th call!!! A-hole! I'm done being nice. I'm fried out with him and I refuse to put up with a grown man acting like an insolent child.
And to add some bling to this conversation, I am feeling so good because we had take-out Mexican for dinner and the hubby went to the liquor store and got me some margarita mix and tequila. Sweet man! I think he could tell I was worn down and needed to relax. Trust me, it helped! I feel light as a bird right now! But I only had one and that's all I will have. I know my limits and well, anything over a slight buzz is too much. I worry that we will end up wasting the mixer since I rarely drink. I enjoy drinks, but I just normally don't. Strange since I feel like (even though it's never been admitted to me) that my bro drinks more often. I have no proof, so it may just be in my head. No idea.
I AM feeling a bit down. Mostly because I saw tonight that some 'friends' of mine apparently planned a GNO without inviting me. And they didn't hide it. I guess they planned it and then 'accidentally' talked about it between two of the girls going. Well, they should KNOW that if you post something and I am friends with both of you that it shows up on my wall. So, now I am feeling upset that I was left out. And I don't know why. But honestly, I am getting tired of trying. Tired of trying to fit in here with women who don't give a rat's ass about me. It's like, trying to fit a damn firetruck in a mouse hole. And I don't get it. What the hell is wrong with me that I can't make friends here. Nothing. I had great friends in SC and VA and hell, even TN before I moved. The real question is, what the hell is wrong with the women here? Maybe I'm too outspoken. I have no idea. Either way, I'm damned lonely on that front. I feel VERY thankful to have a fabulous hubby. We have our ups and downs like any couple, but for the most part, he's super supportive and just always open to listen. I always try to listen to him, too. I don't always like what he has to say, but in the end I know he knows me better than anyone and will be honest with me.
So, overall, good day. Did I mention my parents came up to help us with the kiddos? I didn't really need it seeing as how the weather put us a day behind so we weren't able to do the siding, but it was great to have them here and I appreciated the help immensely. Like I said, we got a lot done! And I'm proud of the fact that projects got done. I know there are many more, but these are just some more to knock off the list! Makes me happy and proud and want to do MORE! I'm not sure what I want to get done next.... Maybe the bathroom? We had finished it once but I had been unhappy with the end result. Maybe soon I should come back to that... or do the foyer? Or maybe I should just keep on painting. Seems like the painting is never ending! But if I could get a few more good days, I think I could knock it out! :D I guess we will just have to wait and see what our timeline is, how the weather behaves and whatnot.
Well, I've rambled long enough now. I feel like I post about the same ol' same ol'. Since I am taking some time to re-set, this isn't really too much about diet, exercise, weight, right now. Although, I will say that I think I've not been too bad until tonight. I see churros and coffee coming at me now so I KNOW my carb count will be higher! But I'm not going to sweat it and I'm going to keep going on with going on! I haven't weighed and don't know if I will for a while. I just don't feel like stressing over it right now. Maybe I should consider opening another blog on like, Tumblr.... or Blogger.... hmmm... not sure. Anyways, g'night ladies and take care! :D
So are you and your husband redecorating for the sake of redecorating, or did you guys get a fixer upper to improve on and hopefully sell for a higher price? I have been wondering, because it sounds as though you are doing a ton of work on your house.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to take a space and stake a flag down in the center of it, and then go to town on making it your own? I CLAIM THIS HOUSE IN THE NAME OF JEWLZ!!! Lol. :)
Wow, sorry about the GNO thing. It hurts to feel so left out. I hope that you can find some friends that appreciate you. I don't think there is anything wrong with you at all. Some people are just jerk faces and they aren't worth your time anyhow.
Sorry to hear about the GNO! I understand about having a hard time connecting with other ladies, face to face, on a daily basis. When I moved to this end of the county (1/2 hour from where I used to live) people who I thought were friends disappeared. Connecting with new people can be hard. I look at it this way; if I'm making the effort & they aren't, then they're not worth it. I'm actually pretty close friends with some of hubby's buddies because, let's face it. . . women can be a b**ch to get along with! Although I guess a "night out" is out of the question!
ReplyDeleteHang in there! You seem like such a charismatic person that I'm sure you'll connect with some likeminded people in no time!
