Cookies Cookies, and cookies :( Why did I make them? Today was not a good day for my diet... I had 3 fricken cookies! I am so mad at myself!! My favorite kind of cookies are peanut butter ones with chocolate stars on them... and I learned how to make them this week with a simple recipe, it was so easy but WHY did i eat 3 of them :( The rest of my day for my "diet" was good except for the cookie monster part.
Today I offically ordered the our cooktop stove, wall microwave/oven unit, and dishwasher for the kitchen at the house, Nice chunk of change on those babies when its all said and done! I went locally with Superior Appliances from Monticello rather than giving the "big dogs" my business, I like supporting locals:)
I did a lot of phone calls regarding the house today, I have two painters coming this next week to give me quotes. I called on getting a quote for the hardwood floors, and just did misc. research pertaining to the house. Happy to report Artic Seal was at the house today, the whole main floor outer walls are now insulated, the inner walls and ceilings will be done on Monday.
The brick is getting further and further, its just amazing how things are finally coming into the works with the house.
Tonight Jer and I met up with Mike Ressler since we wanted to get a quote from him for the plastering, he has been highly recommended by so many to us, and my dad has nothing but good things to say about him, so he came and looked at our upstairs... very highly recommended hanging new boards over the existing walls, the paint he thinks is "whitewash" so plaster will not have much longevity if we just spray over the existing wall, its good and bad news. He said for "being young kids like us" we should just do it right. I really liked Mike's advice and attitude on doing things but I also knew him since I was a kid... so I think if we can get him to commit to our job, we will hire him since he is the best of best and he will fit in with everyone else who has worked on the house. We will meet up with him later this week and go from there, may have to wait a little longer but think it will be well worth the wait.
So tonight Jer and I took the boys and some friends of theirs to see SUPERMAN and out for supper to CiCI's Pizza. I think the boys really enjoyed themselves. Blade was a little pistol at the movie again... if the movie is not a cartoon... he is tuned out.
He was cute when he thought the scenes were "scary" and by the time the movie was over he had his shirt and shoes off and was running on the loose... complete craziness... LONG time before he goes to a movie again!
Busy weekend ahead with the holiday and getting crap done, we are going to meet up with some friends tomorrow night for a night out so I'm looking forward to that! Hopefully have a "normal" fire some evening as well.
So enjoy your weekend!
