Eddie's Birthday Present and remodel update

033, originally uploaded by megan bauer.

We have finally moved into modern times, and have replaced one of our box TV's - you know the old school (32 inch) kind that weighs a trazillion pounds. For the record, it still works just fine - and will now take up residence in the basement. But, we got Eddie a new TV and TV stand for his 37th birthday last week.

As we're cleaning up our house and putting it back together, I'll try to post pictures of our remodel. The upstairs is now completely carpeted, and we're in the LONG process of carrying everything back upstairs again. We get carpet in our basement on Wednesday. The laundry room and kids bathroom are done - and look fabulous. And as soon as I clear the clutter, I'll take photos and post. In the last month, my dryer has blown a gasket and my oven started on fire (FIRE - like the WHERE IS MY FIRE EXTINGUISHER KIND OF FIRE?) So, we now also own a new dryer and - thank the heavens - the oven was fixed by simply replacing the coil on the bottom.
