We finished tiling the kitchen (stove wall and backsplash) last night and it looks fab. Tonight we grout and then we're done with this project. $300 for a finally finished kitchen!
ION, the guy we spoke to about helping get rid of the WORLD'S UGLIEST WALL around our front yard (I am not exaggerating--those of you who have seen our house will agree) called last night that he was available. He showed up at 8:30 this morning with a bobcat and two guys, and the wall is now gone! They are going to take all the weedy half-dead grass out of the yard too. We want mostly gravel and drought-resistant plants out there. We shall no longer be the eyesore of the neighborhood! It's costing $2,800 to go to a bare yard with everything hauled away and decomposed granite put down. We are going to plant succulents and put down some flagstone paths, but will do that as we have money.
I have hated this wall since we bought the house and am so glad to have it gone.
So WindSparrow actually did find a veritable e-mail forward about letting your children go and treating them like adults.
Sending it to my mom: great idea...or GREATEST idea?
Or terrible idea?
Erin, I know this is green and gold rather than green and silver, but I saw this fabric and thought it looked gorgeous, and would look gorgeous on you. And here's a nearly identical pattern in silver, on a corset.
eta: From the silver corset photostream, now THERE'S a wedding portrait!
Or terrible idea?
This. As tempting as it is (and I would SO want to do it), let her e-mail you first.
Terrible idea. That's just fanning the flames. It's also lowering yourself and playing on your moms level.
What everyone said. ANY response is positive reinforcement. You are fighting for your freedom for your right to be an adult. Stay strong. Don't respond.
Other states are allowed to have nutria? I thought they were exclusive to Louisiana.
Speaking of Louisiana, the New Orleans airport tends to back up when the planes need to be de-iced. I will be sitting here in the Salt Lake City airport for a while, having missed my connection home.
Yay, so happy to see Kate posting!
Okay, it is a terrible idea, but also very funny.
