Demolition is Demo-licious!

Let's start with a brief evaluation of how Lovey and I view time differently. Lovey has a bad habit of saying, "Want to go out to eat?" to which I reply "Sure" then hastily change clothes and freshen my make-up. I sit down to wait to go and........he invariably calls someone. WHAT? Didn't we just say we were going somewhere???? And then he recounts his day....and the specifications of the new CTS-V....or the X-box game.......or clutch assembly of the new Ducati. Meanwhile, I am flipping through magazines, SEETHING, because I'm ready and he's sooo not.

I say that to say this.

The Saturday morning we were to start the deconstruction of my bathroom started like any other one. I got up and had 2 cups of cappuccino while watching my DVR'd "What Not To Wear" from the night before. After I finished watching my friends Stacey and Clinton make-over yet another poor, non-fashion-conscious soul, I went up stairs to brush my teeth and put in my contacts. It is then that I hear Lovey engaged in a "vocal" game of Call of Duty 4. Curses to the creator of that game!!!

OK, this is the day that we had set aside to tear this betch apart. So I get the hammer and putty knife and go to town ripping the heck out of the baseboards. When I am 3/4 of the way through, he saunters in and asks "What are you doing?" I'd like to say this is the whole "Women are From Venus, Men are from Blah-Blah", but that is sooo HACK.

Let me just say that there is nothing like ripping the utter hell out of stuff to really exhilerate a girl. To get out all of your frustrations and feel refreshed.

So that brings us up to date sort of. After everything was torn out, I decided that I did indeed want a new tub which began another remodeling adventure. To avoid the petty details, I present this:


Voila! My new tub. Now the hard part starts.....subflooring and tiling and aggravation.

Let's not think of all of that right now. Let's think about pretty things. I am down to 2 choices for light fixtures and this is where you, dear readers, come in. Help me decide!!!

Option 1:


My only worry with this one is that it looks kind of yellow-y.

Option 2:


What do you think? I was going to go with some sort of chandelier, but it seemed too stodgy for what I'm trying to do.

This is definitely the faucet, if they are still in stock that is:


So that is where we stand. I am still showering in a bathroom with plywood floors and doing my makeup with a floor-length mirror and little table set up as a vanity. I feel like I'm homeless, but we're on our way now. Pray for us more than ever, people! Or at least make note of this blog for the family court papers.
