After a leisurely breakfast of wonderful cinnimon(sp??) muffins prepared by Dr. Jeni.....the 1st Lady and I headed into the city...STL....to work on choosing and/or selecting items we need for the make-over and remodeling project on the house. WELL.......nothing was decided.....nothing was selected......and our tape measure certainly got a workout!!! BUT.....we took copious notes, drawings, measurements, and even took photos of many different items we will need to get. Nothing has jelled just yet for several necessary purchases, but we seem to be narrowing things down.....even though we need to be reducing the costs of this project....hahaa!!
Soooo, it was after 8pm when we returned to our house on the hill.......exhausted!!!!! After many hours we seemed to be on meltdown from soooo much overloaded information on kitchen cabinets, counter tops, lights, bathroom fixtures, plasma tvs, new furniture, colors, fabrics, etc., etc. etc. My mind is still drowning with mental pictures of all of these ideas.......it is difficult to even create a few sentences for this little blog.
At the beginning we entered the stores and shops full of eagerness to see everything that is available.......but it didn't seem to take long until we were becoming more and more confused by the myriad of choices for everything we needed, not to mention being overwhelmed by some of the outlandish prices on some items. Then frustrations set in as we began to add up the costs......which were growing each time we rounded a corner in a store or went up another aisle. UGH!!!!
Oh well.......we are not building a show room.......just a simple re-d0 of our simple little stick and brick HowserHouse. THAT is what we must keep in the forefront of our minds......or at least try.....hahaha!!!
Soooo, with ALL of my creative juices drained into the little toe on each foot, I will close this and.......once again, even after a very exhausting and frustrating day.......
Life IS Great......and I hope for all of you, also!
