Two New Blog Awards!

So I assume other people are bored when I post about blog awards gifted to me by other bloggers, but when other people who write similarly and think similarly want to give me props for my humble little obsession, it really makes me quite happy.

First -

THANKS STEPH!!!

I was honoured with this award by Steph Gas at it's never too late to save a hopeless case.

She wrote, and I quote:

"i'm passing this one on to stephaniec who writes seriously?? reeeally? seriously?.  not only is she honest with us, but i think stephc is pretty honest with herself on that blog.  plus?  she has THE BEST NAME."

Wicked awesome, you made my day!

Also,

THANKS JESS!

I think it stands for "I Don't Give A Flinstone"

I was given this fine and stylish award by jess over at not your average joan of archetypal patterns.

She wrote, and I quote:

"For those of you keeping count (so, me.) this would be blog award number 2 for me! The first came from Seriously?...Reeeally?...Seriously? (I was supposed to pass that one on, but I cracked under the pressure!)

So, because she forgave me for not passing on her award, and because she rocks and speaks her mind, I am returning the love, and passing the IDGAF award to her.  Rock on, my Canadian blogger friend! Rock.  On."

I will need to figure out what rules there are (if any) and who I will pass these along to. I will post more later.

Thank you, lovely ladies. I like to think I generally don't hold back, but there are downsides to that. I think you are both more honest than I am, but I am working towards really embracing this stuff and blogging as honestly (and humorously) as I can. 

One thing is for sure - I won't hold back on making fun of myself. Would my therapist  BF  friends approve? Likely not. But some of that shizz is just too good not to post. lol. I have to laugh at myself. Especially before someone else does first. HA!

Bathroom is Done! Fo' Rizzle

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Click on any picture to enlarge it, by the way.

My world is now complete. For this nanosecond.
Want to win the lottery? No thanks!
Want to be Oprah for a day? Nuh uh.
Looking for engagement? NAH!
A big white wedding with roses and overpriced bad-tasting cake? Nope!
Want to cure cancer? I would actually love to, but, well, TODAY....

the bathroom was finished. Life is complete. Towels are practically FLOATING in place on the wall with appropriate bars and hangers. It's like an entirely new dimension for me. I've been 'roughing it' since August 15... so, if you do the math, that's like FIVE WHOLE WEEKS. Or something.

Seriously! Can you contain yourself? Look at the muted, neutral hues... I bet you are so excited you won't be able to sleep tonight. And seriously - wrap your head around the fact that towel is staying in place RIGHT there, not draped on a door edge or sink - CRAZY!!!!!! ARGRHGHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! WOW!

Lights in the room I shower? F*ck ya, I got that.

And the demanding, whiny client (me) said "Let there be light!" and maybe even "I can't see my body parts to fully wash them, either". Ha!

A toilet paper holder roll (not a loose roll that moves its way around the sink on its own)? BOOYAH!

Hand for display purposes/effect only. NOTE: I was not on the can at the time. I swear.

Mirrors to watch the toothpaste spittle run down my chin (while winking at myself... "hey baby" *wink*) Come to Mama!!

How's THAT for a mirror!?! And it was from IKEA, so it only took me 40 hours to assemble, stain, glue and solder myself!

Doors that latch? Awwwwww yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea.  Mould-less grout? I ain't frontin'

A shower curtain rod I can reach? Hells yeah!

Crappy, illegible, not to scale comparison.

All this excitement is exhausting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SO remember how I was SO EXCITED to move all my stuff back in the cupboards, set up my toiletries, start using my hair tools again so I look (sorta) professional at work, and get this bad boy totally done?

Yeah, screw it, I'm totally going to bed. Pin It Now!
