Finally Done!!; Shopping update; Thanksgiving and Jordan pics

Well, after a week of demolition, shopping, painting, constructing, installing, hanging, and cleaning.........The bathroom's finally done!!!!


This was the old vanity-minus the sink and door. (I took more before pics, but the camera was obviously not cooperating.) Notice the ugly mirror and white walls, too.




New Paint, sink + vanity, mirror and towel ring. New light fixture on the ceiling too, but you can't see that.




Here's looking in the mirror at the opposite wall. New curtain for the window and


a new valance for the shower curtain. New towel bar too!

The problem is that the bathroom is soooooo pretty, now the rest of the house looks like crap. You know the scene in the Wizard of Oz after Dorothy gets knocked out by the window and in her dream she, Toto and the house land in Munchkin land and before she opens the door everything is in black and white, then she opens the door and reveals a marvelous, colorful land? Well my house and the hallway is the part before she opens the door and the bathroom is Munchkin land! We will have to paint the hall and living room and get new drapes between New Year's and spring. tha will be better....................

An update on the Christmas shopping.......Ordered Dave's and Patty's gifts today. Should be here no later than early next week. So that leaves me with 2 gifts left to buy for Dean, 1 more for Jordan + some clothes, 3 office gifts, but I know two of them I am getting, just have to stop and get them one day after work. So really, it leaves 1 office gift, and it's for Diane, the big boss. I am really stumped on her this year. Then I have the gift cards to get for Tyler, Angela and Mark and renew Vince's subscription to Dirt Late Model Magazine.. The other kids get cards with money, so that's easy. Don't know what Dean wants to do for Sara yet.
