Floors are finished

The floors are finally all finished. Dan has to come and seal the grout in the main bath and the spot in the kitchen but its really finished now and ok to walk on.... It has made me taller by almost an inch and that is handy for when I try to reach for things in the cupboard. I think I'm taller until I go in the other rooms but then when I go into the baths I get taller again.... its so fun.
  Today I have been putting up new curtains and drapes and that is nice too. I will wash the old ones and send them to Good will probably as they still have some wear in them but I don't want to store them... I have to many things already. I have to wait yet to put the sheets etc back into the linen closet and can hardly wait to get that finished. I hope I find some more things to send along to GoodWill there too. I got an early start on Spring cleaning. Actually I will probably just try and get the windows all washed now and then spend the rest of the time in my yard once the warm weather gets here. I'm happy we got the work finished in the house so we didn't have to waste any good weather working. I just can't wait until Spring. What is it now? 29 more days? Yipee...... my favorite time of the year and then there is so many nice warm days to look forward too.
The sun is shinning here again today and it is not below zero so that is nice... hope the sun is shinning for everyone in journal land. :>)

Oh boy, you will never guess who just got interviewed for tv..... yup you guessed it. I went outside to get my mail and Channel 2 tv pulled up in the driveway behind me.... A really nice lady got out of the car and asked if she could interview me about how I'm going to vote tomorrow about the schools in Howard here where I live... I thought she was just going to ask questions but no they had a camera on me too.... oh boy. I bet I said something really really stupid too. I don't think I will answer the phone tonight. She said it should be on at 5 and I'm hoping people will be driving home from work at that time so no one will see it. Guess what I said.... I said I wasn't going to vote.... I don't want to spend so much money when the schools are all so nice already...... I said maybe they need them in Suamico but I don't know much about that as I live in Howard.... but Howard and Suamico are together in paying forall the schools.... I didn't say it but I should have said I didn't like that .... but it is too late because we have already jumped into that frying pan ~ if you know what I mean.... soooo maybe I will go and vote no..... I really should, shouldn't I? We will see. I just hope I didn't imbarass myself and my family too much.

Your new floors look wonderful!  I bed it's like a new place.
So you really said out loud on tv that you're not going to vote...maybe the national news will pick that up LOL.  Ethin goes to kindergarten in Howard and there are almost 50 kids in his class...that's a lot of kids I think.  Maybe they need another school.

Love the floors, you picked some beautiful earthtones I think. I can't wait to get rid of all the blue carpeting here. I don't know what I was thinking lol.....but it will be awhile before I do that. I really like the the way the tiles are staggered in the kitchen. Maybe they do that all the time, but I don't know much about tile. It looks so much nicer than with all straight lines.  You picked a good time for it, now you're all ready for spring in your "new" house. Have fun picking out a rug. Kohl's always seems to have so many nice ones.

Gee, Sandra, you sure look good when you go out to get the mail!!!  I saw you!!  Turned on the tv at 6:05 a.m. and there you were.  I just caught the tail end of it so I knew it was about the school referendum but didn't get much of your reply.  I waited until the next news segment came on, but you weren't on that time.  Darn.  About the floors, I'm going to have to get some new floors too if it will make me an inch taller.  That's awesome.  Angel
