But on the bright side, we are so close to getting a deck built and at a pretty reasonable price! Just finalizing the price and he can start next week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't fall through and that he actually does a decent job. This is going to be an awesome birthday gift for H.

Good luck!

[icedtea]

I'm so excited, our bedroom upstairs is almost done. We've been here 2 years and just kept putting it off, but knowing we're moving has helped. We just have to get the trim done, fix the flooring, and clean up. Then we can move up there! And I'll get my king sized bed, yeeesss.

The bedroom we're using now will become a guest room and friends won't have to sleep on the futon in the office anymore, ha.

[ironbaby]

I am so jealous of your renovations, icedtea. I wish we could just tackle one project, but I couldn't even decide which one should be first.

[BabyStandish]

PirateCat hope your H feels better soon. The stomach flu is not fun.

Yay, that's the best. We are very close to finishing our guest room, we just need to patch the floor and get it refinished. Although that hasn't stopped us from making our guests sleep on an air mattress in there, but it's a step up from sleeping in the tiny office, or in the dining room... We are not very good hosts. 

[icedtea]

ironbaby, we were the same way. Honestly, nothing started happening until we decided to move and realized the house would show better with the renovations. Hopefully it doesn't take that for you guys ;-)

In retrospect, I wish we had just picked the smallest, cheapest project and done it. Once one is done it's like you can conquer the world.

[BabyStandish]

I'm so sleepy. Coffee needs to hurry up and be ready.

I also have a crush on Lin Manuel Miranda. I can't help it.

He's awesome, did you see his bit about Puerto Rico on John Oliver?

Also, the guy who plays Washington...his voice does things to me. 

Yesssss! Yes to both!

I'm pretty much amazed by anything Lin does at this point. he's like the most talented person on the planet.

Dude, I'll sit next to you on that bench. Did I mention the office is also the dogs' room?

H hadn't listened to any of it and so I made it our soundtrack for all car rides until we got through the whole thing. He then said it'd be cool to see live and I laughed endlessly before explaining to him the effort required to do so.

[icedtea]

ladytiffany24, I'm also obsessed with "Wait for It." Possibly UO: I feel for Burr.

[wannabmama]

Good morning!! We made it to the lake finally last night...what a trek.
I have to do a webinar in a bit for a contract job I got, which should be interesting because (a) the Internet and phone go out intermittently and (b) I just learned that my gma only has instant coffee. Whaaaa?!? How am I supposed to be bright eyed and bushy tailed on instant coffee?!?
But then I get to enjoy the rest of my one day here before spending another entire day getting home tomorrow.

Hahaha. I keep the litter box in the guest room and move it out when we have guests.

Right?! It's insanity. Now that Lin and some of the other originals are no longer on Broadway doing it, the hype may die down a little bit. I would've killed to see Lin do it live. I'll still go see it when they start traveling with it next year!

I saw Lin in In the Heights on Broadway a few years ago! My obsession started a little there. I can claim to have even known (and liked) Hamilton before it was cool.

[icedtea]

wannabmama, I hope you get to relax at least a little bit!

Not necessarily a UO. I feel for him at times too.

I'm not sure I could even pick a favorite song from the soundtrack. It's all SO good.

Any one else ever reach that totally overwhelmed point where you just want to pay all the people to do all the adulting for you? Like, I need a landscaper, someone to mow the lawn, someone to clean my house...

Oh, and someone to give me money to pay those people.

All the time. I'm currently trying to convince MH to get a landscaping service like most people in our neighborhood. If he didn't have to worry about the lawn/landscaping every Sunday, he might actually have time to help me clean the house. Or at least occupy DD while I clean.

Love when @wallflwr926 comes out to play.

I'm in a funk today.

I found a LLR that has two pairs of unicorn leggings going up at 8pm if you are interested

We are the worst, too. I have guests coming next weekend and they're staying with other friends of mine (who they know...but only through me) because otherwise they'd be in a room full of MH's clothes, with no a/c...it's supposed to be 95 on Sat. I guess we could buy a window unit for that room...but just seemed easier to have them stay in my friend's enormous house that is better set up for hosting.

[icedtea]

ladytiffany24, yes, I can't wait till they start traveling with it. Ah, I'd never heard of him before. Very cool.

[BabyStandish]

Our running club had some drama over the last few days. We run out of a running store and corporate decided to change what day we run. Their reasoning is that people might want to participate in running at our other locations on Wednesday. Ummm no. We've been running every Wednesday for over 4 years so our coordinator told them none of us can run Thursday. They came back saying sorry, we are still moving it to Thursday. Basically they dont care. So our coordinator quit and we decided to just keep meeting Wednesday no matter what they say. Then we got an email yesterday from the company saying that the run is going to be on Wednesday? What a bunch of idiots.

[icedtea]

onesweetworld, I've done so well with holding out on LLR, but the more people around me who love it...

Our local yoga studio has some LLR leggings for sale, and they're so soft. So soft.

[ladytiffany24]

icedtea, And now I'm sitting in my office listening to the soundtrack. Thanks for the inspiration!

SIL that lives nearby recently bought a house and we've been making his family stay with them instead of us. It was a pretty easy sell when we told them we have no furniture in the living room. Oops. 

[ladytiffany24]

icedtea, Since you like Hamilton and dig it's vibe, I suggest you check out the In the Heights soundtrack. You'd like it.

I went to the party on Thursday saying I'd buy nothing because I don't need clothing lol. That didn't happen.

[onesweetworld]

Good Morning Ladies!!

[ironbaby]

BabyStandish, that makes no damn sense. Can they not offer Wednesday runs at their other locations in addition to your location?

It sucks that the coordinator quit over it, just for them to finally acquiesce.

[ironbaby]

I still don't quite understand the LLR thing. I mean, yes, I get it, leggings and stuff. But the whole company model just goes right over my head.

Unicorns, though...

[wannabmama]

I'm with you icedtea I haven't broken down on LLR but I'm tempted...
BabyStandish corporate decisions about local things seem to always go up in flames. I think usually someone at corporate is feeling like they need to make a decision so they seem important...they make the decision but are too dumb to actually look into it first. Then they have to dig in to not look like they're an idiot who made a dumb decision.
