Hellloooooo - is anyone out there? I'm baaaacckk

Hola mi amigas and amigos!  It's been 2 months so I figured I'd update y'all.

Still haven't downloaded the pics from Disney - I know, lame. <shrugs shoulders>.  Had a fantastic time, Aislinn loved it and met every princess except for Jasmine because of a 3 hour wait. Not.  She's ready for me to take her to France now - yes, you read right - princess wants to go to France.  I told her in 10 years 'cause that's how long it's going to take me to save up.

Dating - well, taking a short break because I have yet to meet anyone who is actually honest and straight up.  Not going to say anymore on the subject because apparently I have a ninja soapbox that appears out of no where and I don't want to turn this into a rant about single male a$$holes. 'k? Cool.  Moving on......

So, a couple of weeks ago the chain came of the inside of my ceiling light in the kitchen (cue dramatic music) - couldn't be fixed without tearing said light fixture apart and frankly, not putting the effort into it - know what I'm sayin'?  Figured it's the Reno gods telling me to get off my a$$ and finish the damn kitchen already. Said dating break will be good time for this fun.

Aislinn will be with her dad for 2 weeks starting Sunday so the plan is haul a$$ and get as much done as possible with help of my awesome 'rents (huge shout out to Mom and Garth).  My next step is prepare the construction schedule and get confirmation and buy-in.  I'm actually psyched about getting it done as I'd lost momentum and the excitement. 

Excited the following projects too - bathroom, closet then Aislinn's room and so on and so on.  Let's put it this way - from the front of my property to the back of my property and everything in between needs to be worked on.  I will never ever ever be bored again.........  I will also be broke but that's another subject. 

Scored a free (Gawd I love that word1) pine console and mirror today.  Whoop whoop.  I'm going to paint it and put it in my foyer on the wall facing the bottom of the stairs. 

BTW - I am selling my fab retro 50's waterfall front bedroom set - beautiful wood and it's in good shape.  Double bed head, foot and side boards, 2 night stands, dresser with mirror and  vanity with mirror and bench. Quality solid furniture, dovetail joints and made locally in Brockville back in the day.  If you're interested or know anyone who would be, give me a holla. Please share this people - thanks in advance!  Pics of bedroom set to come soon and will be posting on Kijiji.  The reason I'm selling it is it's too big for my room I have now and honestly, I need a change.

That's it for now - gotta get my tired tush to bed.

Ciao!
