I absolutely adore my $39.99 Water Pik shower head. The bathroom is pretty much done, including the freshly painted white tiles on the wall and the new flooring (please ignore my size 12 paint splattered shoe in the way) The kitchen also got painted along with the living room, which, well, looks a million times better.

To give you an idea, I present you with before and after pictures.

Before and after we prepped, primed and painted. All in all, everything is looking much better and we're on our way to being moved in by Saturday. That'll leave me a week or two to unpack all our stuff and get the house set up so things will be in order for when his mother arrives on his birthday. We still have to get over to Wal-Mart to pick up a futon (150 for a frame and mattress, American Mattress can blow me) and probably a table cloth for the kitchen. I'm still debating if I want to sell the ancient stove from 1951 (that had some of it's burners and handles in the sink being cleaned when I took the picture, oops) and use the money towards a new stove or just keep it.

I would like to make sure I arrange the furniture so that the main window looking out towards the street isn't blocked. The other window in the living room only gives you a view of the garage and well, how impressive is a garage? But man, the view from the front porch (which is right next to the window) is pretty damn decent so I'd like to preserve it at all costs. Last but not least, we have a small view of the yard and also, if you look back, a view of the house. I say a small view because the yard is huge and that's only a little tiny corner of the fence that goes around the backyard. It's a little bit bigger than my parent's which is like 1/3 of an acre or something, I can't remember.

Have I mentioned that I love the S/O's new phone more than almost life itself? Just because it's so damn cool having the thing there when I feel like snapping something that is just so insanely sweet, adorable or funny (like my brother playing kissy face with Oz). I'm not even getting into the pictures that were taken at Buca Di Beppo last night for Easter dinner (lunch?). Apparently there were pictures of penii in the men's bathroom so Henry and the S/O ran off to take pictures while I was left to admire the advertisements for sanitary belts in the women's restroom. Unfair much? I thought so. Then we also have the Pope's bust that sat on the table across from ours. Oh yeah. Tacky with a capital T. I loved it. Plus the food wasn't half bad (read: excellent) and we didn't have to pay for a damn thing.
