It’s been a long unpublished road lately. Billy has slaved away in the bathroom on this remodeling project and it’s finally paying off. I wasn’t able to gut the bathroom entirely like I wanted to but it has transformed entirely over the past six weeks. We are almost finished too! Thus far we’ve repainted the entire set of rooms in a nice calming spa blue pallet. Rather than ripout the tile floor we chose to restain the grout from a dirty white to a nice medium grey. Also we took out the giant 80’s style mirror and Hollywood style lights, and replaced them with two separate framed mirrors with recessed lights and pendants. All the fixtures in the bathroom were previously chrome, but now they are oil-rubbed bronze (very nice if I do say so myself). All we have left to finish is the built in cabinet over the toilet. Well that and replacing the door knobs; but we are going to replace all the door knobs in the house and at $25 each it’s an expensive endeavor all on it’s own.

As soon as everything is finished I’ll take pictures for everyone that hasn’t or can’t come over to see it in person. If you all had been wondering where we’ve both been lately, now you know!

We french-kissed on a subway train; he tore my clothes right off. He ate my heart an then he ate my brain…

I don’t know why I’m so smitten with this song but I absolutely love it!

Today we had our big family Christmas with the relatives and it was pretty good. There were a few missed faces but I’m glad I got to see everyone. My mom’s side of the family is very large so we always try and get everyone together around the holiday, but still giving them time to spend on christmas with their own families. We’ll spend Christmas day with my dads side of the family like usual. The dog is asleep, I think she had too much turkey; haha. Poor kitties hid under the bed all day, which is normal for them. Bailey has his neuter appointment in the morning, so he’s sure to not be very merry for Christmas. My grandma gave all of her children a two and a half pound box of assorted chocolates; ironically most of them are diabetic. Football has been on all day in the background, and I have no clue about any of it. I haven’t hardly typed anything and I’m already losing my concentration and starting to ramble on. I better stop now before I get too far off track.

Apparently on Saturday, Wal-mart is running a promotion where if you buy an Xbox360 Arcade for $199 you get a $100 gift card with it. The Arcade is the lamest of the Xboxes but, the only real difference is the hard drive. I don’t need the HDMI cable that the more expensive versions come with, I’ve already used all three of those ports on my tv, haha. Plus I’d rather the PS3 be on HDMI and an Xbox on component since the PS3 is blu-ray. Gah!!! Decisions decisions. I need to buy Billy a birthday present, so I shouldn’t spend the money, but its a great deal! *bangs head*

So over the past two weeks we have gained a new addition to our little family. Billy discovered a kitten from the litter that the stray had in our backyard swimming in the pool. It was making laps around because it couldn’t get out and it was running out of will quickly. He was able to scoop it out with the net and brought it into the house. We nursed it back to health and dried it out, but the little thing is just so cute we had to keep him. He appears to be a Himalayan (long haired, colored like a Siamese, with short legs). His eyes are the prettiest blue color, and I hope they stay that way. It has taken us two weeks now to decide on a name for the little guy. After much debate we decided on Bailey; mostly because he’s the color of Bailey’s Irish Creme. I wish he’d stay a tiny kitten forever but I know he won’t.

I’m feeling better today, I can’t speak for Billy though. The sound of football is prowling through the house making today a rather boring Sunday. While I’d rather gouge my eyes out than watch a game there just isn’t anything else to do. I can’t hang out with anybody for fear of getting them sick so I’m pretty much just stuck at home. I don’t even want to be in my room because I’ve seen so much of it the past few days. I could clean, lord knows it needs it; but what’s the point anyway? It won’t stay clean.

Billy has apparently moved on from ultralight ciggarettes to menthol. I can’t say I’m happy about that, but what can I do about that either. I was hoping he’d try and quit again but, that’s not going to happen I guess.

Twitter is becoming the bain of my existence it seems. Not the actual service but more so the iPhone clients. They all seem to have some caveat of equal but completely different annoyance. Twitterrific doesn’t do push and loads slow, Echofon has push but it’s far from instant, and it doesn’t support display names only usernames. Tweetie just doesn’t do anything worthwhile at all. Wait I didn’t tag this post as a rant so I should quit while I’m ahead…

I hate being sick, it messes up your routine. I should be hungry, but I’m not. I want to eat, but I don’t even know if it would be a meal or just eating for the sake of eating. Ugh, there isn’t anything to eat in the house anyway.

I’m going to miss the new Family Guy tonight because Desperate Housewives is starting up!!! I have so many shows to keep up with downloading. Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Cleveland Show, American Dad, the Simpsons; and that’s just Sundays. I have a weekly lineup too! I’m going to fill up this terabyte drive I bought (just for my iTunes library) pretty quick at this rate. Oh and not to spoil the Cleveland Show for anyone who hasn’t seen the pilot yet (it’s been all over the Internet all summer), the show looks good, but not great.

Well this killed a few minutes of the day. I purposly typed it on my phone for that very reason.
