Or, at least the most overplayed songs of the summer. I'm always flipping through the stations on my way to work, and yesterday, on my way home I caught the Offspring's "Hammerhead" and Taylor Swift's "Should Have Said No" twice! And I have a 15 minute

Andy's parents have been here since late Friday night/early Saturday morning, and, while they're leaving sometime today, they will also be back on this coming Friday to go to the air show with us. It's been nice to see them, but I'm ready to have my house

The first floor is unpacked and put away, which means we only have the master bedroom, basement, and garage to finish. We picked up our split box spring yesterday, so we're back to sleeping in the bed again (yay!), and we have almost all of our pictures

And no, I'm not talking about figuring out which cupboard to put the bowls in. I wish it was that easy! After we moved to Wisconsin, it took me 10 months to find a job. Yes, I was "picky," but there also wasn't an overabundance of PR jobs in the area.

We're not unpacked yet, by any means, but all our stuff is here at the house instead of at the apartment. Yesterday went pretty well, for the most part. My boss let us borrow the work truck, so we didn't have to rent a u-haul (yay for saving $50-70!).

After our soggy basement issue, we decided to put off moving until we figured out what we were doing with the basement. (We're semi-seriously considering digging it out ourselves, depending on what the estimates we get say.) But, the more we talked about

We got to the house this morning with the intention of putting the last coat on the floor, doing any touch-ups to the paint upstairs and conquering the cabinets. First though, I wanted to check out our new sump pump (which we installed this week after

Another couple in our small group is pregnant, which means that by early next year, there will be three couples with kids. I'm happy for them, because I know that one of her goals in life is to be a mom, but I am so not into kids. (This is when everyone

Here's a terrifying thought: Not only have I become one of those possessive, cranky homeowners, I have also become my mother. Yikes, I just might need therapy now. (Kidding, kidding, mostly...) (Quick back-story. My parents moved into their house over

We're working our way down the to-do list. I have the stairway and the one bedroom wall finished. (2 coats of "Creek Bend," which turned out much grayer than I was expecting. The samples made me think it would have more green in it, but it's very gray.

...and our differences never come out quite as strongly as when we're working on projects together. (If you needed an example for "opposites attract," look no further.) Andy and I have different ways of going about things, and we are starting to drive
