Taking out the Pink

On Friday, we had new carpet installed.  I am happy to report that the only pink that remains in this house is on our kitchen counter tops and in our girls’ closets.  That is it.  The pink is officially dead.

I had this great post written up about my trip to "Staples" this weekend which is actually code language for the bar at Chili’s, but then my computer ate it when it decided to reboot for miscellaneous stupid updates.  Thanks a lot Microsoft.

So, since my creative juices are in need of lunch, I bring you yet another BBMHGTV edition of "Before and After."  Now will someone please buy my house already!?!

Potential buyers should take note that if someone offers us asking price, we think we’ll counter $5K above.

    5. Lynn: Thanks. Now all I need is HGTV to offer me a new show.
    BobSpar: I have a husband who is very comfortable with his manhood apparently.
    Karl: Is it weird that I sort of miss it? My house is just so vanilla now! I never really liked it, but I do kind of miss the color.

    6. We’ll buy it, but only if you put all that stuff back the way it was.
    Sorry. Couldn’t resist.
    3B has the four-drawer version of your bedroom dressers in his room. If I didn’t have a turtle house, a bike trailer and a dog bed on my side of our bedroom, I’d have the taller version of it too. Instead, I’ve got plastic drawers in the bottom of the closet, waiting to herniate a disk in my lower back.

Tell me what you're thinking...
and oh, if you want a pic to show with your comment, go get a gravatar!
