Okay, so I'm not going to do social media other than this. You wanna know what's going on? Hit me up here. I don't promise it'll be anything earth shaking, but it's what's going on with us- our nuclear family. Together we're Tay, Rae, Hae, and May. This is a recount of A day in the life of... Us!

New House Progress

Here's the lastest on the house. I think it's just under 2500 square feet. It's all one story, except for the second story game room over the garage. It's pretty neat, because you can't see the second story from the drive up. We now have the interior sheet rocked, but I forgot to bring my camera today.





Ah, my beautiful house. I insisted on the dormer windows. It was a compromise to a 2 story home. One dormer (right) overlooks the living room and the other (left) is in my office. Can you picture wreaths in them at Christmas? Me too. As you can see, the address is 5100 East County Road 140 (79706), but the mailing address is not yet set up.



This is the outside view of the second story balcony. The round window is right in the stair well. I'm really not sure of the siding color. I was going for cedar, but it looks more like UT (BLECH!!).




I believe this is Haley's room. Even before the foundation was formed, she had picked this room. The closet is slightly bigger than the other though. It is the front right corner of the house.




My living room. This part is going to be fireplace, and the hole in the ceiling is for the chimney.




The "attic" storage part in he game room. Weird placement of the ductwork, so we had him move it up the wall.




East side view of the house. These windows on the corner are for the master bedroom and the grid window is over my jet tub.




The kitchen is open to the living and dining room. This part is the sink. My favorite part is the island, but it's only invisible at this time.

again, unpredictable

I jinxed myself by saying my appetite was returning and I was starting to feel pretty good. This week (9) has been characterized by semi-frequent and violent vomiting. Pleasant.

Oh yeah, I suppose I "popped" this week. I was volunteering after work yesterday so I brought a change of clothes to work. Imagine my reaction when my pants won't button! Really, they didn't even zip halfway without meeting significant resistance. Nice. I got to share a moment with one of my colleagues- she calls herself a "grandma wannabe." She Southern-engineered my britches so I could volunteer without mooning anyone.
