Trading Spaces

As luck would have it yesterday while at Home Depot picking out tile for the bathroom, I ran into Wall Pops. These are the stick on dots that I had used inLolly's room but could not find anywhere in Atlanta. Seems that Home Depot has just started carrying them. Lucky for Mister, he won't have to "plaid" a wall for me.



I'll be able to keep Lolly's room decor pretty much the same
minus the loft bed plus a few improvements to be detailed later...

Meet My New Bestie

The roll-off (dumpster) that was dropped off this morning. I plan to be very generous to her over the next couple of days!

Disregard the missing siding on the garage. Termite damage, nice huh?! Before moving to Georgia, I'd only seen termites in cartoons.

Most of the outside work is done and today they're working on getting the ceilings painted and some of the walls. The basics. But, I am more interested in what to do with Lolly's room. Her current room has these great peel and stick pink and green polks dots. I planned to do the same thing but a couple months ago I went to Lowe's to start stocking up only to find they no longer carry them. So my parting question to Mister was "how hard would it be to "plaid" a wall in Lolly's room?" I think I heard moan as I backed out of the drive way...

Let's Get A Move On

The renters are officially gone. Let the downsizing begin. That is, once the carpet is replaced and the whole place is repainted to get rid of the cigarette and cat smells. Nice.

Home For Sale

It's official, we finally put house #1 on the market late Tuesday night. Our original target date was Feb 1st. (Slackage at it's finest or just part of the master plan of life?)

From the condition of the house this morning, Lolly and Mister either 1. Don't care , 2. Don't completely grasp, 3. Think I am completely in charge of keeping the house SHOW READY. I am betting on option #3. It's my own fault. I've created monsters. Sloppy monsters!

Now we start the sitting and waiting and waiting and waiting...
