New Year's Eve

Well it is New Year's Eve and I am high on second hand paint fumes. See, it started out so simple. Our carpet in our formal rooms is old and nasty, so my parents decided to have hardwood floors installed like they did in the family room. They aren't going to be a perfect match because the company that makes the wood that we put in the family room is now defunct. Most people also can't afford to do more than 1 or 2 rooms at a time. Well, so we've spent a lot of time cleaning out all the big heavy furniture and taking off the baseboards. Since the baseboards still have the original 15/16 year old paint on them, it was decided that we should repaint them, cause it would look better with the new floors. Hence the paint fumes that make me feel shitty. I think the installers are scheduled to come the day we all go back to work, so i'm sure mom is trilled to have to deal with the dogs by herself.

I also made 18 bottlecap magnets today and finished my january letter for the Charlie swap. The partners for the RENT swap have been posted but we haven't received preference info yet, which is driving some of the others crazy, but i'm cool with it. I finished watching That 70s Show Season 3 today and started on Dukes of Hazzard Season 4. I really don't want to go back to work yet either. I'm enjoying this vacation thing aside from the family driving me crazy as usual part. I was going to attempt some minor sewing projects but the machines are not accessible due to the fact that they have been shoved in the corner to make room for all of the relocated furniture from the other rooms.

Obviously I don't have any hot plans for New Years Eve, but I'm not the only one. My sis is baby sitting her friend's two little girls so they can go party. She has already called me because the stove is messed up somehow and it took 1 hour and 10 mins to cook regular mac and cheese. The stove was turned up and everything, so who knows what was going on.

One of my Xmas presents came in the mail today. It is an 18 piece Crafter's tool set in hot pink. I like the fact because it's designed for crafters, the tools are more compact in size, so I can handle them a lot easier then those big ass hammers that weigh like 10 pounds. I like pretty things too. Hot pink just makes everything better. So does Hello Kitty. I found Hello Kitty pop tarts at Wal-Mart and I let out a tiny little squeal that caused my sister to disown me temporarily. These are even better then the Disney Princess ones, cause they have little sprinkles on them in the shape of Hello Kitty's head!!!!
