I never thought I would be so excited about carpet...

So day, is an important day. Today, we're having new carpet installed on the second floor. Ha-za!

The old carpet wasn't the worst I've ever seen, but it was old, had paint and bleach stains and all together yucky. We're going to be putting some kind of bamboo flooring on the first floor, in a few months. It didn't make sense to replace all the flooring, if we were going to rip some of it out soon anyway. The good news is that Lowe's has this carpet in stock, so if we change our minds, we'll just put in carpet anyway. Originally, we were going to go with a carpet liquidators, to replace the carpet, because they could've had it in before we moved in. When we got a quote from Lowe's and saw that it would take longer, but would've saved us over a grand, we decided to wait.

So now the top floor has all new paint and carpet. I can finally set up my bedroom and stop sleeping on a mattress on the floor. I keep waking up to discover that I've rolled off the mattress. Makes for interesting dreams....

So now I can paint the DOWNSTAIRS. My career as a painter is not finished yet, unfortunately. Hopefully I can start creating some new posts on yummy new recipes and the like, but right now things are still crazy. This weekend is Valentine's Day, so I want to make something full of chocolate and sugar. Let me know what you guys are making/doing for fun ideas!
