Been Outta Touch

Hey Ya’ll Out There!

Sorry it’s been so long since I blogged (husband says that’s not what I am supposed to call it, but I am writing it anyway. I am a rebel. I loner.)

Guess I holed myself up for the winter, and now I am done hibernating. Wish I could announce some wild plans that had been keeping me busy, but alas non. No eagle hunting in the Inner or Outer Mongolia or anything. Just laziness.

This spring/summer I am looking forward to: going to minor league baseball games (Go Looks!), being in the yard (if only I wasn’t so tasty to the mosquitoes), Strawberry Festival in Dayton, and re-doing our bathroom.

 

Our bathroom is one of two rooms that have hardly been touched since we moved in. We gutted the kitchen, tore down mounds of wallpaper, and painted every room except the bath & laundry. Now finally we’ll tackle the bathroom. Keep in mind we have an old house and the previous owners, while nice, thought they were great handy-people. You can see from the pictures how much work needs to be done. I don’t think it has changed since the 1950’s, after being built around 1930. My favorite is how you break your kneecaps in order to use the facilities. And I am really short, so I feel for anyone who lived here before me over 5′2″.

 

This bathroom has the worst layout I have ever seen. I wish we could be in an ugliest bathroom contest or something. The colors are good, it’s just the plastic fake tiles and screwiness that throw me. Don’t they have a show called fix my bathroom please somewhere?

Wish us luck. I have it all up in my head, and my poor husband will have to bring the ideas to fruition. Plus we’ll have to stay somewhere else for a couple of days. We will probably need some bandages.
