I can't wait to see what the new wall looks like! It's always so exciting when we do something to make the place look *good.* But it's kind of sad that this weekend's big excitement was ordering a new storm door. A coworker of mine says about my house's previous owners "all of their taste was in their mouth." Thank god I haven't found anything evil that's structural or safety issue. The worst I've found for infastructure is that weird sink plumbing, and we've already purchased the replacement sink.
The weight gets me down too. I was doing so well, and then I gave in to all the stress. Then while we were moving and doing all the big redecorating work we started eating like CRAP, and while Bob is immune to that, I'm not. I can cut as many calories as I want, but unless I get up and MOVE I don't lose weight. We've resolved to reintroduce veggies into our lives, so that's a good start. Working on the house isn't aerobic exercise, but I'm up off my butt, and toting around 5 gallon paint buckets should count for something! As the unpacking/purging continues to reveal more floor space, I'm thinking about asking for a treadmill for a combination anniversary/Christmas/birthday present. You just can't safely get outside around here in the winter, and that might keep me moving.
