Family matters

Our day

Today we:

  • watched “Sesame Street.”
  • went to the grocery.
  • took a quick dip in the pool.
  • played outside with Lucy.
  • ate a very good dinner (Broccoli and Carrots with Cheese and Bananas with Blueberries!).
  • went to the park and heard some bagpipers.
  • had some ice cream at The Freezer.
  • took a bath.
  • read some books.

And now we’re trying to wind down for bedtime (with little success, from the sound of it).

The end.

New subfloor

A trip to Home Depot for a garage-door cable yesterday turned into a major project. Dad had some linoleum to put in the bathroom, and he’d been looking for a vanity that wouldn’t take up so much space.

Can you see where this is going?

Justin had picked out a vanity for Dad a few weeks ago, and yesterday it was marked down $100. How can you pass that up? (Answer: You can’t. At least, Dad didn’t.)

So yesterday turned into Bathroom Remodeling Day. Dad and Justin removed two layers of old linoleum, took out the toilet, put in a new subfloor, laid down new linoleum, reinstalled the toilet and put the new vanity in place. They were short a hose (or something. I don’t know.), so we’re currently without water in the bathroom sink. But man, is that a pretty vanity or what?

Rumor has it that I’m going to be painting the wall above the pink tile sometime in the next few weeks. The new linoleum has a little pink and a little blue in it, so I might go with a very light blue. Except then it will look like a baby shower-themed bathroom. So maybe not. I wish I could paint the tile, too.

Friday Feast No. 101

Appetizer
When was the last time you visited a hospital?

    I was last admitted to a hospital in January, with some crazy virus-related dehydration. I might have visited someone in the hospital since then, but I don’t remember.

Soup
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how ambitious are you?

    Mmmm… 2, maybe.

Salad
Make a sentence using the letters of a body part. (Example: mouth … My other ukelele tings healthily.)

    No one sees elephants.

Main Course
If you were to start a club, what would the subject matter be, and what would you name it?

    I’d start the International Society of Moms Whose Babies are Cranky and Need to Go to Sleep.

Dessert
What color is the carpet/flooring in your home?

    I’m kind of homeless right now. But we’re staying at my dad’s, and his carpet is pink and green. Seriously.

The Friday Feast is a weekly meme intended to “feed your mind by asking thought-provoking, mind-stimulating questions.”
