things i learned this week

1. As much as I like my house, so do the ants. We seem to be finding them everywhere. Though, no presence as big as the 4-ant wide trail I found last night along one whole wall of my bedroom. Yep, spraying will be happening this weekend.
2. I have a virus in my left eye.
3. Eye doctors don't really like to hear the following: "Well, yeah, I've been dealing with this eye thing for the last two months or so. I haven't worn my contacts all summer. Yeah, it got really red and pretty weepy."
4. Tommy Lee and the rest of the band from Supernova have NO taste in picking a new lead singer (this is regarding the TV show Rockstar: Supernova)
5. Sometimes spinach IS bad for you.
6. Even if wildfires aren't close to you, you still never get used to seeing bits of ash on your car (which I noticed yesterday after parking my car outside for an hour at a meeting)

And now on to the downstairs bathroom. This is it! It's done, just needs an additional coat of clear sealer on the floor and it's complete. Because of limited cabinet and storage space, the shelves will be so handy!




And, the new rug in the utility room. The old rug was just bits of indoor/outdoor carpet and since the previous owner was a smoker, I just wanted to get it out of the house. Floor below is still covered with the nasty tile that used to be throughout the downstairs, so we've decided to just cover with a new rug and this is a room that can be tackled much later. I mean, as long as the washer and dryer work, who cares if the room is pretty?

And yes, that is a small dorm fridge on top of the cabinet. So, if you're hanging downstairs or in the backyard, you don't have to go upstairs for a cool, refreshing drink.
