My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

Shower Gifts Finally Find RefugeAfter almost a full year, our shower gifts finally find refuge in our new kitchen! Our original plan after Danielle and I were married was to start looking for a new house, and keep all our good stuff stored in boxes to expedite moving. As many of you know, we looked and looked and looked and we could not find a house that met all our expectations. So we decided to stay put and update the house-- mainly the kitchen. The kitchen was completely gutted right down to the builder's floor. I was pretty impressed at how quickly the kitchen remodel occured. The contractor started Monday and was 90% complete by Friday. Floor was installed next Monday and Tuesday and entire kitchen was completed on Wednesday. So Wednesday night, in a World of Warcraft style mania, Danielle and I deep-cleaned the kitchen, then packed the cabinets with all our new goods. We started around dusk, and we didn't finish until 3:30 AM. We jumped from level 25 to 30 in just seven hours! Everything is falling into place perfectly. Our new stove is being delivered as I type, and tomorrow, we take delivery of our living room furniture. The living room hasn't been used in the eight years I've lived in the house. Now, it will be one of our focal points. A plasma TV is just a decision away, which means I have some work ahead of me to wire speaker wire in the attic for surround sound speakers. I'm not looking forward to that labor. Not exactly sure what I'm going to do with the current Klipsche speakers. They are humungous. My desire is to have the living room theater wrapped up by Thanksgiving. The most time-consuming part will be to decide on which plasma to buy, as well as what type of table/stand to buy for the TV and stereo equipment. I'm so looking forward to HDTV. What's next? I think next major milestone is the baby, followed by painting the kitchen (sorry we're late, baby) and new carpet in the family room. House is really coming together. posted by Dino at 9:34 AM (permanent link)
