Pete and Vic visit The White House


So check out the pristine white look! It's sealer of course. Very white, very cold, very odd and lifeless. I always wondered what it would be like to have an all white house and now I know. And that's all I need to know. Time for some colour tomorrow!

Pete and Vic were both here today tinkering with the electrical while I had to dash off to work in Abby. In addition to all the work they did today with hordes of plugs and switches, they surprised me with a new outlet behind my 'one day in my dreams' flatscreen for my bedroom!!!! I'm so excited about that plug and cable outlet. (You're right, I don't get out much) This house is true 2008 now!! Thanks so so so much guys!

I'm still trying to figure out how the plug was done. (yes, I take up part of my valuable day to figure those kinds of things out) I see abit of sawdust but don't see any new holes anywhere. I was in the bathroom picking up a towel after Cody's bath and said, "Code, where did you have this?!? It's full of sawdust!" "Mom, I didn't do it! The guys that came did! See, look at the floor all over!" LOL You 'guys' are so busted cuz Cody said.

And I can't wait to try out my new fancy GFCGFI whatever plug in for my blowdryer. To not have it click off randomly when it just feels like it will be such a major treat!!! Last few days I've been blowdrying my hair in Cody's room, sitting on the floor. I won't know what to do with myself when this place is actually fully functional.

So, just a quick update to show off more progress today. Signing off until, well, probably tomorrow. Things are happening daily right now so there's lots to report!

I'm just feeling really blessed today. Pete, thanks so much for spending your valuable day off at this place. Vic, thanks again, over and over.

Now I just wish I could get you guys to eat something...
