Saturday! Saturday! Saturday, Saturday!

The long weekend is finally here. Memorial Day.  The day we honor those who serve us, and who have served us.  I'm so thankful for our military, and for my relatives who have served and honored all of us in the United States.  Please remember them this weekend as you trek around.

It's a good thing it's a long weekend, because I'm exhausted.  ThatManILove got home from the field, and that's awesome.

And this morning, ThatManILove's talking we have to go pick out a new sink (to go with the new granite for the kitchen)....and new outside furniture (to go with all the new backyard remodel).

Dude! Honey, I have things to do.  I have to finish the entries for the mega 540 golf tournament stuff and hand it back over to my friend so we can get on with the rest of the duties to get this 2 day, 2 course extravanganza pulled off next weekend.

And I have to go run around with my new friend Melissa who's moving in from Tulsa, and looking for houses.  And I have to go take pictures for more friends sometime this weekend.  We could go to GlenRose and watch Elder Son rope?  Nahhhhhh.  Too far....

And, by the way, did I tell you that I promised you'd put that awesome burn on some salmon this weekend for Melissa and her step-mom?  We gotta show some of that famous Texas hospitality, even though you've torn half of our countertops down and the rest is still in that are we ever gonna freakin' finish this remodel slightly undone state.  It'll be okay, honey.  I promise.

And honey?  Call me after you get your haircut.  I'll meet you wherever.  It'll be fun!

Calgon Bath - Is It Worth It?

We are looking at finally finishing our bedroom, which includes totally changing the master bath. To do so, we’re going to have to totally change our bathroom, move a wall, enlarge a closet, all that kind of stuff. It’s all at one end of our bedroom. It’s not a big deal, the bones are already there, but it will probably be a little time consuming.

ThatManILove is a construction guru. He and I can knock out a closet wall and a bathroom wall, no problem. (I’ve seen them do it on HGTV!) He can build the new walls. We’ll have to contract out the tile work, plumbing and putting in the glass shower doors and new tub. We’ve got boxes of tile left over from tiling our house, so we won’t be out that expense. We’ll just have to get the accent tiles and fixtures. All that, plus a cabinet for sink and vanity, and I still can’t make it add up to the amount of the first bid we received.

I just can’t see dropping those kind of bucks in this economy, and we don’t want to go into debt. Pray for wisdom!

And don't forget about the James Taylor Concert Ticket Giveaway coming up next Monday!!!
