Almost There!!!!!!!!! 

Hurray! We're almost done!

The painters will be finishing the bulk of their work today. There will be some small projects (refinishing the front doors, and painting a built in cabinet) but the major stuff will be done today! They just started to pull the paper in the front room. It looks SO GREAT! It's always so nice when they first pull up the paper covering the floor, and you can see the beautiful newly finished floors against the freshly painted walls. Gorgeous.

Here's this week's schedule of events:

Today, Tuesday, May 4th
Painters finish & clean up

Wednesday, May 5th
Cleaners come and CLEAN both upstairs, and the newly finished downstairs! Boy, do we need some help! We've been trying to keep upstairs clean, but it's been nearly impossible with all of the dust coming up from the work downstairs.

After the downstairs is clean, I'll be able to start moving some things from the storage room/kitchen downstairs.

Thursday, May 6th
Our new, Gi-normous refrigerator is delivered. Woo Hoo!!!

Friday, May 7th
The movers return! they'll be bringing the rest of our furniture that had been at Dick's house, and has been kept in storage for the past 4 weeks. We'll also be moving some of the furniture/boxes that we've been storing upstairs to the downstairs unit. The "storage room" (upstairs) will finally become the guest room/Raggedy Ann room! :)

My Mom will be coming up on Friday (her day off - isn't she the greatest?) to help us with the move and reorganization. She'll spend the night, and my Dad will be coming up Saturday to help us finish.

:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clean MINI 

I'm embarrassed to say that after 3 months of owning my MINI, I've never actually hand washed her before today! My excuse - we moved to our new neighborhood soon after I got her, and I don't have a driveway here. I've brought her in to the touchless carwash in SF, but it costs around $18.00/wash! Pricey! Yesterday, I was inspired when I saw a neighbor washing her car with a couple buckets of water. I thought, "I can do that!". So I ventured out to Costco today, but one of their handy "car wash kits" for $19 (because I literally had NO supplies) came home, parked MINI as close as I could to my house, brought out the hose from the backyard as far as it would possibly reach, and voila: washed my baby by hand! Good news: my hose can almost extend far enough - I'll look into getting a new, longer hose, and that should do the trick. More good news: she seems to be holding up well here - no major dings or scratches (knock wood). Such a fun car to clean - it's great, because MINIs are so small!
