the money pit

the money pit part II has begun filming in the bronx.

while i was on vacation the floor in our future bathroom collapsed. A plumber working feel into the floor but fortuanatley not into my aunt's apartment downstairs. water rot. after a little bit of panic and a huge loss of time...

so the floor is being reconstructed.



electric and plumbing are well on the way to being completed. today i started picking out fixtures. i cant wait to do mia's room. it is the room i have complete artistic control over and you know it's gonna be wild!

mia just did something god awful in her diaper.  gotta go. :)

the heat is on

the heat is on. figuratively. literally. it all sucks no matter how you dice it.

ant is stepping it up around the house....so that is good news. he has help today and i am super excited that the kitchen cabinets are being removed. i was concerened we might try and forgo getting new ones...and these are fairly awful.

all the baseboard heating covers are off - this was the hardest part of the demo stage so far. i can only imagine what the house will look like the next time i go back. i was too hot and bothered to take pictures today. maybe tomorrow.

In other news, Mia is a real chore on the weekends with all this going on. she refuses to take naps anywhere but at home or at daycare so it s becoming harder and harder to keep her happy for long periods of time. i miss when she would just fall asleep in my arms...now she needs to be sedated with a tranq gun it seems.


by the way i don't actually do that.


so now i am home and in the air conditioner, about to eat some chinese, watching lost:season 1:episode 5 :white rabbit. this is where jack acts like a mega dick to everyone, and for good reason...he has not slept in days and he is seeing his dead father walking around all over the island. the rest of the losties are pissed because the bottled water was stolen. jack comes back and gives a huge speech to calm every one's asses down just in the nick of time...

"if we cant live together we will die alone. "

if Mia does not learn to nap again, i will never leave my home again.
