    Really nice looking place! All those decisions would fry my brain too! I've been trying to decide on flooring in the kitchen since we moved in 5 years ago and I thought I wanted tile but my mom got laminate and likes it very much, my sister said she wouldn't do tile again. Now we are just looking at vinyl...
    Wednesday=1 drink

    Love the house Kim- nice open lay out!

    Asj- I agree with your sister about the tile. We had it in our old house. The grout tends to get stained even if you seal it. We put hardwoods in out new house (kitchen) and vinyl in the bathrooms.

    Well....not all 0's as planned, but not too bad.

    M - 0
    T - a cocktail because we had to pay $2,000 in taxes. :angry:
    W - three cocktails because I was off, it was sunny, and my husband went out for drinks with a friend. So there.

    And then I went to the dr. today and we decided to do a full physical, including bloodwork which I have not had done in probably 3-4 years.

    It's going to be really nice tonight. I'll probably end up drinking..... I can still keep it under 19 no problem. I just need to keep my drinking in check over the weekend.

    Pretty house, kim! so exciting.

    I had some red wine last night..probably the same tonight. I'm moderating well this week and getting a lot done with the house in escrow... so I feel pretty good.

    Well I intended to drink last night, but I called Eric on the way home from my circuits class after work to see if he wanted me to get wine. He was frustrated with the kid and said he wasn't drinking. OK??..... SO I came home, realized there was about 1/4 bottle of riesling my friend left Saturday, so poured it after dinner. Drank maybe half and couldn't stomach the rest. I really don't like sweet wine. So I ate some of my daughter's Easter candy instead.

    M - 0
    T - 1
    W - 3
    R - 0.5

    Not a bad week. And it if affecting my weight loss in a good way so I'm going to try to keep it up. Happy Friday!

    What really sucks is the only reason we paid is that we just moved some mutual funds into a better fund with a new bank (but had to sell shares). So we didn't even really get that extra income the IRS says we got. Well I mean we've made money, but nothing we are seeing now. Boo.

    Gary - we went with the rambler or ranch because of the single level layout. We are getting old and the stairs will be a pain in the *kitten*. Right now, we are in a four-level split.

    Amy - I agree with Gary on the tile as a no go. It's cold, expensive to lay and the grout does get old. We are only putting tile on the shower walls and surrounding the tub. We are putting LVT on the bathroom floors because tile is cold in the winter. The mud room is getting it because it is cheaper than tile and looks just as elegant. LVT is Luxury Vinyl tile which looks like tile and has grouting in-between. Maybe that would work for you.

    OK, so yesterday was day 3 of no drinking and I was josin' until 1 in the morning tossing and turning and battling a cold. I called work and asked for a low-census day which I was able to get. I will not make the same mistake - 4 glasses of wine tonight.

    Oh, and I attacked the Easter candy this evening...

    Hi lushes. I am going with tile in my kitchen that looks like wood. I have to go that way because of all the water and the dogs. the laminate didn't hold up well to the water around our doors.

    I have been drinking every night. It will stop after vacation. on Wednesday winging my way across the country. our son Alex is flying up to house/dog sit since he isn't working right now.

    So much to do today to get ready for him to come. there will be alcohol to help me get thru the cleaning. :grumble:
