Lately, I have really been missing having a Thanksgiving break and a Christmas break. Right about now, it would be Dead Week in Pullman. Then, next week would be finals. Then? Nothing! Being a grown up, with a job that only gives you a few days off for the holidays is rough! No wonder some people never leave college. But alas, I did and now I am trying to prepare for the holidays, get a full work week in, and continue to tackle working on the house.
Lance has started devoting himself to cleaning out our garage after I agreed to him turning the area into a home gym. That certainly lit a fire under him! He's made some major headway. We still need to sort through boxes and give away a ton of stuff that's just sitting out there, but overall I think we're well on our way.
Our garage is SO deep that we could add a bathroom at the end of it, to be accessed from inside the house. I think it would be a beyond excellent idea and add a ton of value to our home. Right now, having the only bathroom be upstairs is okay, but having a second bathroom (just a 1/4 bath with a sink and a toilet) would really be nice. I love our little townhouse, but I dream of things like new bathrooms and laundry relocation! Poor Lance. I still want to build a loft area in the vaulted ceilings in our entry way. Why the home builder didn't just make the bedroom extend over and have a more decent sized room, I'll never know. I also want to remodel the attic into a master suite, but Lance said that isn't going to happen. Probably not an easy feat anyways, considering it's a townhouse. I don't think the neighbors would be too happy.
We are still working on finding someone to put on a new roof for us. It would be so much easier if we were just having a whole new level to the house put on, since they'd have to rip the roof off for that anyway! I can dream. Then again, considering the ONLY house project that we've actually finished is our built in desk, we probably shouldn't try anything too complex. I smile as I write that, seeing as I am trying to convince Lance to let me tear out the carpet that is on the stairs and we still don't have a handrail.
Well, time to get distracted by work! Looking forward to cleaning out the house tonight and playing with my Silhouette Cameo cutter. That thing is so beyond amazing - I have no words. I am still figuring out how to use it to its full potential, and I need to get different card stock for it to cut, but I think I am getting the hang of it. I was thinking of making Christmas cards this year, but I might do generic. Maybe I can send generic then, if I have time, send hand made ones too? Who knows. Better get some store bought just to be safe!
Hope everyone is having a great day! And hopefully it's more exciting than thinking about cleaning your garage and re-roofing your home, hah!
