Silly (bad!) kitties.

I'm not sure if I ever talked in here about the incredible mess that the cats created the other day. I still don't know what caused it, though I have my guesses. Here's all the pictures on my flickr account.

Silly kitties.

FYI - going to visit Kade this weekend. He's home from the hospital, did I mention that? He's actually talked to John on IM and called him on the phone. I also found out that Jimmy Buffet found out what happened and sent him every single album he's ever done (autographed) and posters, too, I think (autographed)... he also got a bunch of stuff from John Travolta... ever since he did that Ladder 49 movie, he's been donating a bunch of stuff to injured firefighters.

I was trying to describe the new chandelier for the dining room to mom and I don't think I did a good job.

We still haven't installed it for fear of asbestos-lined wires, but we might take a look at it tonight, so here's a pic of the box. It's REALLY pretty. yay! :)

I love this pic. Myles was trying to climb up my windows... he better not try that with the new ones! They get installed starting May 30, it's going to take 3 days to get all 20 windows done. 20 WINDOWS! And that's not even ALL My windows. Crazy.

I was watching a show on HGTV last night about the top 20 things you can do to improve the value of your home (#1 was new siding, if you cared, but there's no way I'm replacing my beautiful wood siding) and #11 was replacing windows! Woo!

I'm still going back and forth on turning the family room into a master bedroom. I'm leaning towards NOT doing it one day. First of all, I don't want to price myself out of my neighborhood. Second of all, it seems kinda silly to have four bedrooms in a small(ish) house... basically there'd be TONS of more bedroom space than living space. Maybe that's fine, but... meh.

Anyway, what I do want to do is spiffy up that downstairs bathroom and make the doorway in from the family room instead of the wall it's on now, and then put a pantry there (so that the door to the pantry would be directly in front of you when you walk in that book door)

Looks like John's probably going to move in when the lease is up on his house (end of August, we think... we can't remember when he moved in), so the ebay business will probably take over the family room, but I'll also be getting some extra money via rent from him (yes, I'm making him pay rent, everything gives me this strange look when I say this. I don't care if he's my boyfriend, he can't live for FREE!) and I want to bamboo floors in the family room to get rid of that nasty carpet. The cats found a spot where they could start ripping it up, so now it looks even WORSE than it did BEFORE. I'd love to have NO carpet in that entire house!
