What a granite mess :(

Welcome the snow and the cold... are you all enjoying it? My boys sure are but you know... it snowed now and now it can stop and go away :) ... I don't really care for the snow but I did want it to snow for Blade, and let me tell you he is LOVIN' it!!!! Yesterday since there was no school due to the "holiday" the boys played outside most of the day and Blade got in on that action too. Mel- thanks for the boots, they work great!!!!

So since it snowed, it makes LOTS of mud and water sitting on our new granite flooring... frustrating!!! I swear all I get done is cleaning up messes here... our granite had LOTS of dust, mud, snow, water... ICK!!!! today I felt a little overwhelmed... I had LOTS of bodies in this house today, 2 contractors, the brick layers working in the basement, and sweet Janet working on our steps... I know I shouldn't complain, but I just can't wait for that day to just sit in my house alone with no hammering, or saw, or phones ringing :) ... oh that day will come soon, I just have to keep remembering how awful it was in Mexico and how peaceful it is here at night and at the end of it all, it will be WONDERFUL!!!

On a happy note, our "orginal main" contractor is back :) YEAH!!!!!! He came back yesterday and I am just gleaming that he is back in the action here, makes me feel "more comfortable" with it all. His main focus is to get all the trim going on our main floor, while Jesse keeps going on the basement project. Update on the basement... well the "entryway between old basement and new got wrapped up today, looks TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! We are very happy with it. So tomorrow she will start on the other wall. Its all coming together... hard to beleive and see it but we are getting there :)

Still no kitchen but you know... at this point I think I would rather have trim put on everything so it makes it look more complete. When will we have a kitchen? Maybe March... since we are moving ahead with a diffferent contractor from Sand Springs, its good but it makes me a little sad too but thats life.

Well, Jer is off tomorrow to Boston until Friday evening, hope that time flies!! So if any of you read my last blog and curious to know what Jer's bonus was... well he got a 30" work-station Mac screen with a new MacBook Pro... the screen is NICE!!! its bigger than the TV we have, NOW we have to get Jer's office done so he can actually use it. Maybe this is a "sign" for Jer that he should get working in his office rather than in several coffee shops. Is this what Quinn is trying to tell him? I hope he can be working in his office from home sooner than later.

Valentine's day is a month away from today and I did put some hearts up in my windows by the front door entrance. Got most of the Christmas down, need to finish wrapping it up and put it away, as of right now it all sits in my "blue room". I need to haul it up and take it to the basement of the shop where I am storing stuff.

I ran to DBQ this afternoon because I had a dr. appt., I stopped at Target quick beforehand and got a few things for the boys.
They have alot of winter items clearanced out so I stacked up for the boys for next year. I got Blade a coat at the Gap for next year, its flippin' adorable, and I got him two pairs of shoes for $5.00 each when he gets into the next size shoe. Mel... if you need things for the boys... Target and Gap have things dirt cheap. I walked out of the Gap with a bag full for $35.00 and that was including his coat. I LOVE DEALS!!!!!!

So not much else is new at the Miller pad... possible drywall will happen in the basement next week if it all goes to plan since there is a "opening".

Until I blog again... eat some clean snow... well actually dont!!! but get some sledding in :)
