Er, or something like that.
Chaos reigns at my house right now. We are putting in new floors on our third story, and it's a huge mess. Let me just repeat that, in case it didn't sink in. HUGE. MESS. So far, we have two rooms done and one room and the hallway to go. We pulled up the old carpeting in the hallway today, so I think we will get that floor laid tomorrow. I say "we", but my dad is doing most of the flooring. I've offered to help him so many times. We all have, but he insists it's a one person job. So, what're you going to do? But I have helped with moving stuff. 50 cases of flooring. Furniture. You name it, I've moved it over the past week. I spent today getting a jump start on clearing out the office in preparation for putting the floor down in the next couple of days. I worked from 9 AM till around 7 PM, and got most of it done. But, there is still probably half a day's work left before everything is cleared out. Luckily, the hallway is first up on the work schedule. For now, we have stacks of stuff everywhere. Stacks in my daughter's room. Stacks in our bedroom. Stacks on the floor below. Just ... stacks, stacks, stacks.
Hubby and I went to the Korean food store yesterday. This store is total love. I could spend hours in there, just browsing all the neat-o things you couldn't find in a million years in our stores. And, best of all, I found Ramune soda!!! Much like the Korean food store, Ramune soda is also love. ♥ ♥ ♥ Needless to say, we had to make a follow-up trip today, to a different store. I also found the neatest little sake jars -- blue with white flowers on them, and some "beginner" chopsticks for my daughter. She got a big kick out of them. Hee.
I recently ripped through the novel "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer. And, when I say "ripped through", that is exactly what I mean. I read the whole, huge book in two days. I just could not put it down. I was thrilled to bits to find out there was a sequel. And more thrilled to find Amazon had it. I was so very much not thrilled to find out I would have to wait until Monday to get it because of the weekend. (I was trying to order it on a Thursday.) Anyhow, yesterday, Hubby comes home with a little box for me. From Amazon. It's my book!! He ordered it for me, and paid extra for next-day shipping, just so I could have it right away. Sometimes, he makes me want to scream in frustration (and not in a good way, either -- LOL). But, then, he does something little like this that reminds me how lucky I am. Love is weird like that. Anyhow, I already started on the book. Like, about the second I managed to get it out of the box. *happeh vibes*
I'm sitting here multi-tasking, too. Typing this and watching the first season box set of Due South. My gosh, I love that show.
OK, so I guess that's about it for now. I'm still feeling like a grumpy rumpus. But, in many little ways, I'm reminded that life is good, indeed. Sometimes, it really is the little things that count. ^.^
