I have been tagged by Jill! I didn't even know she knew I had a blog! Jill, I'm going to check out your blog now that I know you have one too.
Ok, here goes. 7 facts about myself!
1. I am a bath person. I take a bath every day, even in the summer. I was miserable when we were renovating our bathrooms and I was tubless. (Jet tubs are even better)
2. I like my job, but I dont think it's my passion. That's pretty normal though isn't it?
3.Back in the day we used to call Brent Hot Tub Boy because my friends and I didn't know his real name. (Hmmm, maybe that's why I liked him so much, referring to fact #1)
4. I have a weakness for cake. Any cake of any kind.
5. New Zealand was my most favorite trip. I would go back there in a heartbeat.
6. Texas accents are my pet peeve.
7. I often dream of moving somewhere that houses cost $100 000 and opening a little book store and living a simple life away from the hustle and bustle of a big city. Maybe one day!

Who says we can't all get along?
Paul is a PALS dog (www.palspets.com) and we visit the seniors home twice a month. He loves going, and recently has made a new friend. This friend is a cat. So much for the old saying that cats and dogs don't like eachother. They visit the seniors together, they snuggle, they share bed space and couches. They are inseperable while we are there! Here are a few shots from our last visit.
Sharing a little couch space.
One couple brings their guinea pigs and Paul LOVES them! He sticks his head right in the basket and gets so excited. The owners always have to put them on the ground and hold them out for Paul. Note, Bingley waiting patiently in the background.

Note to self
I still have not posted pics of our finished ensuite bathroom! I'll try and do that this week. The shower in there is awesome, those body sprays are heaven on a sore back. Pics to come soon...I promise!
On the basement front, the framer starts on Thursday morning and drywalling begins next week. Ack!?! That means we have a busy weekend ahead of us. My job is to remove the thousands of nails that were holding up the wood pannelling. I shouldn't complain though, Brent has to do the electrical and insulation and painting and flooring. I have a good excuse though :)
Here's a pic of the cork flooring we are probably going to use:
In shopping for cork flooring we learned you really get what you pay for. The less expensive stuff scratches much easier because it doesn't have as good of a sealant on it. If you choose a stained color of the less expensive kind, it will chip and show the original color under it. So, we comprimised and we are getting the cork I want in the bar/fireplace area and putting laminate in Brent's work out area and the bedroom.
I didn't want any laminate in this house, BUT if I want that cork we needed to cut costs somewhere. Plus laminte has come a long way since we put it in the townhouse. There are so many more varieties now, and really...for a basement, it makes sense.
