What on Earth is Back!

House in Progress Diary, Category: What on Earth!?

Because I need something to distract me from the disaster that is under my sunroom, I am reviving What on Earth?

All of you junk hounds can commence high-fiving each other now.

If you don't know what What on Earth is, you probably need to start reading here. Give yourself a few hours, maybe even a day, to go through those entries. I had a lot of insomnia when we started working on the house.

I'm going to try digging through a box in my attic and writing about something I find every Friday. I may write about things more frequently than that, but I will at LEAST write about something every Friday.

House in Progress Diary, Category: Restore & Repair

Remember yesterday when I was like, "Oh, poor me! Renovation is slowing down! Wah wah wahhh."

Yeah, well, shut up, Jeannie. You're an idiot.

*Post Renovation Depression*

House in Progress Diary, Category: Daily Diary

What is up with me lately? Seriously. My face has totally broken out, I've eaten an ENTIRE APPLE PIE and TWO packages of chocolate chip cookies (by myself) within the last five days, I'm tired and irritable, I haven't felt like blogging. Or getting out of bed. Or (uh oh) showering.

I think I'm suffering from Post Renovation Depression. I wish I was kidding. But I'm not. I feel like I've been hit by a truck.

Here is Grace recreating my week for you:

Craigslist Snob

House in Progress Diary, Category: Daily Diary

I love Craigslist. LOVE Craigslist. If I ever meet Craig Newmark, in the flesh, I plan on giving him a big smooch on the top of his shiny, bald, programmer-geek head.

(p.s. Craig! I used to live near Morristown when you were in high school! I was four when you were eighteen, but, whatever. We still could have been friends!)

The List

House in Progress Diary, Category: Daily Diary

This is the list. The list of everything that we had planned on doing to the house when we stayed up until 4 a.m. some night after we moved in.

The list that we finished and, with unexplainable optimism and foolhardiness, pronounced "do-able".
