Today is my grandma's 75th birthday (but for the love of God if you see her DO NOT tell her you read it on my blog). She's NOT the kind of person who wants her age or her birthday flaunted...or celebrated...or mentioned. So just tell her you heard it from Gretchen or Becca.
OH we also ate chinese for dinner so our "eating well in the new year" is also going as planned...
I came to a couple of realizations about our house the other day; we need more room...That's pretty much it.
Seriously though I don't know what we were thinking when we built this house. We only "needed" one bedroom. We would have "plenty" of money to build up by the time we needed more. Yeah, I wonder what we were smoking. The next time I make a decision like that someone please slap me. (And then run over my leg with your car so I can sue the crap out of you).
But no, where was I? Okay so more room. We have a huge closet in our bedroom that doesn't "technically" get used. Sure it's packed full of stuff but nothing that we apparently need since it's been packed with the same stuff for *about* two years now. So I'm thinking whatever this "precious assortment of crap" is, it can surely move upstairs (to our attic) since our uses for these things are obviously so few and far between.
Okay so this frees up the closet <-----(this is where I would use the "strikethrough" option I've seen on blogs but FOR THE LIFE OF ME CAN'T FIND THE CONTROL KEY FOR) because I no longer want you to think of the "closet" as a "closet" but yet as a very small (STRIKETHROUGH) QUAINT room. Now next to the "room" there is a hallway. (Hallways are something that you only need if you're not already living in a basement so that you can crouch and huddle if a tornado is coming. As for us, we're covered, half of our house is underground so the hallway can go. I mean, yeah it leads to the laundry room but still...
So after we knock a wall down and add a door we have: former closet+useless hallway= QUAINT CHARMING TODDLER BEDROOM (with a door leading to the laundry room). I love it. It's the plan of 2011.
And it's totally going to work out better than the blogging and eating right thing...
