We took out the shower back in May<br />

<br />
<br />
What started as a "we will just fix the shower" turned into an entire bathroom remodel. A pop in cabneit was here but it was too close to our washer and dryer that were to the right of my plubming shot here. Oh and done get me started on the plumbing and eleterical and the WALLS!<br />
<br />
Lets just say this entire room was a mess. I tried fixing the wall, we ended up moving this whole wall section!<br />

See the heater on teh bottom right?<br />
yeah see how its flush with the drywall?<br />
Its not supposed to be, its supposed to mount to the drywall. <br />
<br />
Then took a nice long 8 weeks to pick a new shower out. Ends up we have a pretty odd space with a "neo angle" entrance. But finally we found what we liked at menards. However, they suck, and i will never do business with them again.<br />
<br />

We found this beauty on the side of the road, next to a vacant house.</div>

And we took it! It was VERY beat up. Broken selves, drawers and hinges! The hinges were the toughest part to figure out. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
This became my 'fun project' as other things on the house slowed or i got stuck, i got to work on this gem and get my first REAL experience with trying to make something look old.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
But first the HORRID varnish had to go. We spent a few hours here and there for about 2 months sanding. like i said this was just a fun project, no goals!</div>

We decide this would go in our kitchen (which is a post for another day with money we don't have). So White was the ultimate goal. We love/use Benjamin Moore paints. Our white is White Wisp. And it nice and dull and subtle. After apartment life the last thing we wanted was any GLOWING whites in our home.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
So i did some PINTEREST research. You can catch my various pins over <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/robine182/">here </a>on my pinterest boards. I was pretty worried about staining anything. 20/20 hindsight my friends. So i took some extra paint and did layers. Then the white as the final color and sanded back down to the colors. Now i think it came out ok, but it was WAY more work than it should have been to sand down to the color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Also BM paints are amazing so the bonded together... and i could not get most of the brown look i wanted. But oh well! Fun project, remember. The method of multi paint layers and sanding involves one major thing. LOTS OF SANDING! </div>

But our fun project came long! It already houses a bunch of "pantry" like stuff for us. I love the hard ware too. Its all the same except the hinges. It really needs new drawer slides, but i think thats going to be a project for another day :) </div>

And yes that is our shot glass collection across the top. We like it. It serves us very well right now. PLUS it was FREE! I had to buy one small can of brown paint, and sand paper, and a new piece of ply for the shelves inside. Which i can always add more. This thing is HEAVY solid wood, it was a great find, and it was (mostly) fun to do!! Experience, knowledge... </div>

I didn't want to write anymore, and didn't want to spend time on it.<br />
<br />
When I first thought about writing a blog it was for health reasons. I hate my body most days. But i love food waaaaaay more. That being said, I could/need/should loose about 20-25lbs to get back to my 'wedding' weight.<br />
<br />
Honestly: earlier this year i went to my doctor to talk about my anxiety. Something that may not physically manifest all the time, but i feel emotionally quiet a bit. My weight came up at that meeting. I had a follow up with a nutritionist. Which was all fine and well, mostly things i already knew. But i LIKE pizza and beer, mkay!?<br />
<br />
My doc put me on anti depressants for the anxiety. They were...ok. By the end of this summer, i was done, i didnt feel any different. In the same week i decided to no longer take the prescription, i sat down with my spouse and told him some Hard Truths:<br />
<br />
<i>I hate my body, most days.</i><br />
<i>I cant imagine that you'd ever want me.</i><br />
<i>nothing i own fits right.</i><br />
<i>i never have anything to wear because of this. </i><br />
<br />
Things along those lines.<br />
#1 thing i did was go buy some damn shorts. I had none that fit. and INSTEAD of constantly punishing myself for not getting into older clothes i just needed something practical that fit.<br />
#2 thing i did, was admit some more hard truths:<br />
<br />
<i>I have not been 100% dedicated to eating right = 0% effective in weight loss</i><br />
<i>I have not been 100% dedicated in drinking less = waaaaaaaaay more fun had for me! </i><br />
<i>I need to love myself REGARDLESS of what STAGE i am at in my body</i><br />
<br />
I have some vicious white hair coming in, my eyes are baggy, my bones snap and pop, im getting closer to 30 everyday. You know what, THAT'S COOL! I have had a lot of life to live, so far! And i will say a lot of the pressure i feel about my looks comes from society, social medias, Hollywood, BUT i create that standard in my head from those, its me and my responsiblity.<br />
<br />
So i quit some meds, i bought some clothes that fit, i told my spouse i needed support and reassurance in our eating/drinking decisions.<br />
<br />
Fast forward just over a month later. I have felt better than i have in a long time. I am focusing on my experiences and having a good time, and choosing things i want to do and who i want to do them with. That's not to say i have had some anxiety moments, i have had two social situations, and one really bad time at Menards.<br />
<br />
This is NOT A FREE PASS out of the staying healthy in my life. Yes, i need to stop eating a half gallon of ice cream every weekend. (frowny face) Or binge-ing on pizza just because its there. Moderation! Right now, I need to BE OK.<br />
<br />
Honestly: <i>I want to work on my house and enjoy it. </i><br />
Honestly: <i>that takes up a great deal of time and energy. </i>Read: late nights do not equal able bodies at 5am gym club time.<br />
Honestly: <i>i do NOT need a beer every night after working on the house or project :) even if I like it.</i><br />
Honestly: <i>yeah i still hate a candid of me working where you can see my huge gut.</i><br />
<br />
But Honestly, the whole reason i wanted a house, was to work on it. And i spent most of the last year resenting that i never had time or energy. IT TAKES TIME AND ENERGY to be weigh-loss-healthy i.e. food prep, planing, shopping, gym time, research (lifting), class times at not ideal times.<br />
<br />
I am ok. I am happy. I had more fun eating all the fried things for a whole day at the state fair than i did all month! And I'm ok with that.<br />
<br />
Yes, i want to start running again. Read: when the fall actually comes<br />
Yes, i want to get back into a gym routine.<br />
Yes, i want to work on my house.<br />
Yes, i want to LIVE LIFE.<br />
Yes, i want to LOVE LIFE.<br />
<br />
And, yes, I can do All of those things at any WEIGHT/SIZE! So why did i spend so much time being so unhappy??<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>this is just something that has been on my mind for a while and i wanted to put out there. its a bit cheesy, its a bit long winded. it may seem like a cop out. so let me say this: you do you, man. I'll do me. And right now, this is me, and I, personally, need to be on board with that.</i>Rocking Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08258745856141813833noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685651597507697157.post-56160802371716516572014-05-23T07:36:00.001-05:002014-05-23T07:36:24.504-05:00Camping FunniesIn honor of the awesome camping trip this holiday, here are some funny camping pics<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have been running...or jogging i guess.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I started out 2-3 times a week, 2 mins run 1 min walk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As i increased i hung out at 5mins run 1 min walk for 3-4 weeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My leg is doing really well. which makes me HAPPY.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I started running through the entire first mile then doing, 6 mins run 1 min walk after that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So far its been good, hard, but good. (twss)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But recently spring left and summer came in FULL FORCE.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
88 degrees and 1,000% humidity full force.</div>

Here is my sweaty face, runners glow (read: red faced), and hot mess train. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
I am not Hawt in this pic, im just hot!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Thankfully my neighborhood is very shaded, but in those not so shaded spots, yikes!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
between the sun beating down on me and the hot pavement killing me i was a mess!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
But the real point is, i finally felt like me.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
like the hardest part was over.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
like i could actually enter a race again.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
like i wouldnt be held back anymore.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
like my anger could finally go away</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
like everything was fixable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
running solves everything, for me.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
free therapy, man.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Also this happened this week.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
This was my pace when i trained for a 10K over a year ago.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Granted my other 2 miles were more like 10:50 and 10:40, but still.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
This is pretty big for me.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Now someone else who uses the Nike app, tell me if i can view other features about my run.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
I cant figure out how this app works :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Tomorrow i plan on running in the morning at home, half day at work, then FINALLY CAMPING!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
I love camping! I will try to get better pictures this year!</div>

This is the 3rd coat on the left and the 4th coat going on the right. Since we ended up with a dark color, i probably could have gotten away with 3 coats, but i was so focused on getting rid of all the PINK!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I blame the good weather! Everyone is out and breathing it all in. Long winter be gone. Hot summer is COMING!<br />
<br />
We woke up to a house at 80 this morning on our way to the gym, im a 65-68 person, in my home and outside, i do not live far enough north! Today i think the pilot light will finally be put out, and the a/c turned on!<br />
<br />
Busy Busy. I painted another room in April. Hoping to have that post up soon.<br />
And for May i thought why not do another bathroom.<br />

So our shower 'stall' came out in our down stairs bathroom.<br />
I have to say i think retro fitting anything in a house always seems impossible *sigh*<br />
Goals/Next Steps<br />
1) draw to scale with measurements of all drains in bathroom<br />
2) talk to 'the person' at home depot and menards about if we can order a shower stall to fit.<br />
<br />
I've been doing a little running....or jogging. I got some training material from PT last year and instead of increasing each run, im doing each time for a week (3 runs). I have been stuck on 5 mins run 1 min walk for the last two weeks.<br />
Its been rough. Its been getting warmer (not complaining). Its been hard.<br />
I am out of shape.<br />

So here is how it has gone lately, gym for lifting on Tues, Thursday, Friday. No classes right now for some mental reason i can't make myself do it. And then i run from work around my old neighborhood on M, W, F. And sometimes run on Saturday just for fun.<br />
<br />
I will say this, running makes me happy. Even if it goes bad.<br />
I feel like T-Dubs and I have a better handle on food since we moved into our house (last JUNE!).<br />
I am glad that my injury is not flaring. Its sore but thats to be expected.<br />
I am looking forward to my run on Friday.<br />
And maybe a morning jog Saturday to just start my day right.<br />
<br />
Some other things that have happened: surprise date night with drinks, food, and business time. T-Dubs bought me some earrings just because. Fell off the church bandwagon but we are back at it. Helped friends move. And starting binge watching on House, thank you Netflix.<br />

We have this room, that was BRIGHT blue and greet with chair molding.</div>
<div>
Hence, "Blue Room"<br />
We also have a "Pink room", that's next on my to-do list.</div>
<div>
And a "Puke Room" - because it looks like puke. I'll have to get my professional photographer husband to take a pic of it to do the awful color justice.</div>

<br />
Biggest Pet Peeves. Hmmmmm, i don't want to offend anyone, but here goes nothing!<br />
<br />
<b>1. People who don't use their turn signal or "blinker" as i still call it.</b> - its not that hard to let EVERYONE on the road know you are turning, maybe then i wouldn't have road rage and be riding your ass, because I could have anticipated you slowing down to make this turn.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Strangers who want to touch. </b> - Church is my perfect example of this, there is a greeting time. I hate it. I don't where your hands of been, and sometimes people even hug! WHAT? I don't know you. Get out of my personal space!<br />
<i><br /></i>
<b>3. Liars.</b><br />
<b>3.5 People who pretend to be complacent when they just wont speak up. </b>- Just tell me where we stand, that way i know. I know some people think this is rude. However, I do not want to have to find out later or from someone else i offended you, now i cant do anything about it. Just be up front and HONEST, not cruel or mean just truthful. This is harder to explain..... :) hahaha, sorry! For example, EVERY NIGHT my spouse and i will catch up on our 'shows' we are watching, and here is how it goes:<br />
<br />
me: "what do you wanna watch?"<br />
him: "I don't care"<br />
me: "ok...lets watch <i>insert whatever show im currently binge-watching</i>."<br />
him: ...gives me long look....<br />
me: "YOU SAID YOU DON'T CARE?!?!!"<br />
<br />
This is me teasing a bit, but it also is a pet peeve, if you wanna watch something then speak up. For me this goes hand in hand with lying by omission.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Stoneware.</b> - sorry Pampered Chef lovers, the sound of utensils on that stuff drives me bonkers!<br />
<br />
<b>5. Using the self check out, and knowing i put something in the bag and the machine tells me i didn't.</b> LIES! I put that gift card in there!<br />
<br />
<b>6. Line cutters</b>. yaaaaa, just don't.<br /><br />
<b>7. Bones the TV show.</b> - i loved this show and now it sucks. it makes me sad. plus, im always sitting down to eat food when i start it...and the first 30 seconds a decomposing body is always found. you'd think i'd learn.<br />
<br />
<b>8. The touch screen controls in our Prius.</b> - anyone else have this in their cars? Where the temperature gauge is by numbers? so i have to punch a Down Arrow 50 times to get it cool and comfortable? most people live in areas with seasons. this is not practical.<br />
<br />
<b>9. When other people are at the grocery stores.</b> - I'm selfish, i like having the whole store to myself. why are people so mean? i just want to get some produce that isn't rotting, i'm not going out of my way to make your life a living hell.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Mean People</b>. or maybe just people, hahaha, this is terrible but after re-reading my list, maybe i just don't like people :)Rocking Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08258745856141813833noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685651597507697157.post-86994480934561483432014-04-08T08:09:00.002-05:002014-04-08T08:12:10.037-05:00Favorite Photo #30DoB<div style="text-align: center;">

I love snow. this is back at my parents home, and our family dog. We got 21 inches in the 5 days we were home for Christmas that year, it has been one of the best Christmases to date just because of the snow and the beauty of Pennsylvania.<br />

Home. I helped my dad build this house all through high school and partly through college.<br />

And that time learning so much from my dad, building, it means a great to me, still.<br />
Its still not done and probably wont ever be finished. But its the only thing I've ever known as home.<br />
Even though I bought a house last June, its just not the same. I dunno, I don't feel like I can explain it in words. I do wish I had this photo in every season though.<br />

So today is Your Biggest Fears. Hence the title of this bloggy post today!<br />
<br /><b>
My Biggest Fears</b><br />
<br />
1. Drowning - may seem typical, but im asthmatic and i think it has to do with suffocation. I would rather burn alive.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Drowning" height="200" src="http://global3.memecdn.com/drowning_o_1049525.webp" width="196" /></div>
2. But i'm also just afraid of water. Fish are scary, oceans = scary, bodies of water = scary. I can sorta swim and keep my head above water but yeah i don't want anything in the water to TOUCH ME!<br />
<br />
3. The Dark. I sleep with a night light on. I occasionally have terrifying nightmares, and the dark scares me. I hate coming home after dark and we haven't left the outside lights on or any lights in the house.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Hospitals and Medical treatment. Don't misunderstand me, I will always opt for medical treatment, but I am terrified of all of it. Even getting my blood drawn, I also faint every time from anxiety. I had an MRI last year, worst experience of my life. Sedation, always get sedated.</div>

But its finally here, the SHOWER REMODEL<br />
<br />
<div>
Started in August after we couldn't stop the shower walls from leaking! Ended in February.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
When we looked at this house i could stick my hand up behind a couple of tiles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I thought for sure it would show up on the inspection and then we could ask for a credit, nope they siliconed new tiles on in its place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
When the shower started leaking into our room downstairs, i figured out that the water was leaking in through the shower walls, it was <strike>not</strike> fun.</div>
</div>
<div>

Thankfully we have a wonderful retired neighbor that found out we were doing this all alone and offered to help, and bring all his tools we were too cheap to buy.<br />
I didnt get to lay much tile, i was the tile cutter, we scored and used a wet saw.<br />
T-Dubs did an excellent job, and we were beat as we did this in two LONG days.</div>

Yes we picked white tile and if i had to do it over i wouldnt have.<br />
When we picked out tile, we didnt know we'd have any help and we wanted the simplest most straight forward way to do everything. I will NEVER do a tile job without a wet saw, it makes all the difference.<br />
I also love my corner shower caddy.<br />
<br />
I sprayed most of the hardware, ORB, however i'd like to buy a nice shower head.<br />
THOSE things cost $$$$$! that i dont have right now.<br />

This probably drives me the most crazy of all the things. It makes my blood pressure rise, i swear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm OCD. I'll save my pennies and get a "real" one soon enough. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
All in all, if i ever do a shower again, i will own all the tools for the job. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We could have saved so much time and patience if we had THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We ran into all kinds of problems. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But we got through it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And we are super grateful for the learning experience and help from a friend!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Top Left </b>I needed more studs in the corners after we put up cement board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Top Right</b> When someone else helps you, corners get cut, or not cut enough. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Bottom Left </b>Mistakes i didnt know i was making, should have cut down the middle of the stud.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Bottom Right</b> And this is why there was a hole behind the faucet, there is NO support behind the faucet and the water control, so i engineered this weird set up behind it. My drill quit (i returned it) and it was all round pretty much awful to do. BUT my wall is much more stable that it was.</div>

Cold snap! My new "spring" favorite!<br />
Now, i know this isnt themed. But, I'm a beer girl through and through.<br />

And not everyone loves mixed drinks, or liquor! <br />
Sam Adams, in my opinion, in a good go to beer, for something more than, Coors, Miller, Bud, Busch, Natty whatever you get the point.<br />
You can get their classic lager, or try any seasonal, they usually do a good job.<br />
<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
This citrus-esk wheat beer, is delicious. And is full of flavor, but isn't heavy in my opinion.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
It is not fruity, light (blonde) or a lager. Hard to describe.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I will say this isnt a beer i can drink all night, its a few and then time to change it up. I also think its stronger than some of their others!</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Feel like I should mention im a lager girl and a light beer sorta person. I do love specific winters and stouts. But for the most part i am not ok with fruity and lemon or shandys. Not for me, but i can respect it.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

It's been a while.<br />
lessssallbehonest, mkay? Its be cold and snow/ice/rain/sleet-ing in about 80% of the country<br />
<em>Hi, Califorina, hows it going?</em><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
And frankly i didn't feel much like blogging. Other than all I can say is yes, i still love snow.</div>

The cold not so much. <br />
Heat is expensive when you own a house.<br />
I shoveled twice in the same day....several times.<br />
<br />
EVERYONE and their mother are cursing the weather. <br />
I heed a great deal of the blogs i read, and one of the biggest recurring themes i see is "dont write for the sake of writing" or "if you dont have somethign to write then dont." <br />
And I finally feel like i have arrived! <br />
<br />
I didnt wanna write about much. So i didnt. Here is a breakdown of what has happened since New Years.<br />
<br />
beer<br />
occasional gym for cardio<br />
beer<br />
eating my heart out<br />
ordering in way too much<br />
made a TV room in a spare room<br />
beer<br />
worked on the shower<br />
hated working on the shower<br />
prepped a room for paint<br />
beer<br />
gym (?) maybe<br />
finally finished the shower<br />
used the shower<br />
husband got sick<br />
<br />
That pretty much covers it, less the snow and snow removal. I plan on doing a shower post too. Frankly, I've been burnt out on life. Last weekend I stayed on the couch, and it was selfish, but also wonderful. Winter blues may be happening. I also tried a new cardio thing at the gym....needless to say my old injury is flaring up. So i need to take some days with no cardio. which totally sucks again. All becuase i was pushign myself to try new things. So it will be core, arms and legs lifting for the rest of the week...if we even go.<br />
<br />
Tonight fitness wise, i'd like to work out at home. We will see.<br />

<div>
I was in a rut this week, I had my annual and I weighed in at 10lbs more than last year. Slap in the face! </div>
<div>
I don't eat right.</div>
<div>
Trying to make that my biggest focus right now.</div>
<div>
But as you can see my scale at home must be jenky. 188 or 187 not sure.</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was 10lbs more at the Dr. 'plain that! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I am a so frugal i dont want to spend the money on a new scale. Should i just do it?</div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And my sparkly new Y membership has those old school scales with the slide things!<br />
<br />
Ok, Itch came last night, he seems very experienced in laying tile but also very "does it has he goes"<br />
No bueno, I like planning.<br />
We start tomorrow at 8am.<br />
I may or may not be up all night, and may or may not be stacking my piles of tiles at the appropriate lengths.<br />
I dont want to get to a corner and end up with less than an inch of tile.<br />
<br />
Its harder to explain in an email. For a First Time Home Buyer/Owner, this is not the kind of project i wanna do. Plus for whatever reason none of my cement board is flush. Driving me bonkers. And making me very stressed that it will ruin the tile job. I dunno what else i can do. If it doesnt work. it will all could out and ill redo it. I guess.</div>

Little candid of our time, and our expression at the terrible playing.</div>
<br />
WELP! I renforced the wall behind the shower. It wasnt pretty but i think it will hold up.<br />
We got the final piece of cement board in.<br />
The hole in the wall above the that cement board is for our new shower head, at a height that i can actually stand under! Whoop for getting that done!<br />

We bought tile, tools, grout and moratar.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Then we visited our awesome neighbors the Jones.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
And Mr. Jones is going to loan us a saw and talk to us a bit about layouts.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I am pretty gratefull for amazing neighbors. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Mr. Jones even offered to come help us with it, which i will 100% be taking him up on that offer. we can use all the help we can get, so that hopefully we dont have to redo the shower!</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We've had a late night week.</div>

<div>
Soooo excuses, but I'm trying to <i>LISTEN TO MY BODY </i>the year. </div>

And after another struggling to sleep night, when 4:30 am arrived my body told me I needed sleep! </div>
<div>

Its not what you think, i didn't visit that part of Florida for the holidays. (read:swamps)</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both;">
We got new clickers for opening our garage, only problem is they weren't working right and we kept thinking we had fixed the problem. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both;">
Polar Vortex hits, middle of the night our garage opened, unbeknownced to us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Morning, no water. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both;">
Yup, our pipes froze.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both;">
So we went to work all gross. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both;">
I was so stressed i finally just took a half day to go deal with it. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both;">
When i got back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
3 pipes had burst.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
We got super lucky on all accounts. First very little water because we shut of the main when we realized that morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Second, what my head had invisioned as a pipe burst, was over dramatic. This is what it looks like.</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Off to the store i went for a <a href="http://www.sharkbite.com/">Sharkbite</a>. soldering-less way to fix a burst pipe.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
About this point i had an anxiety attack. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Head between knees. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Just breathe.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<em>My dad wins again.</em></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Sharkbite slipped on to the 'slip-on' edge just fine. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
My phone rings, its the plumber who i was on wait list for 3 days later. They were in my neighborhood and would be over in 10 mins. Divine Intervention!</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I couldn't quiet to get fitting down on the bottom portion of my pipe. </div>
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
But a plumber came, popped it on and turned on the water. He told me i bought the right brand and that they had several on the truck. </div>
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Then.... He didnt charge me!</div>

How many good things can happen!?!?! Seriously. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
We got so lucky. I believe in God and i was sure to be thankful immediately after the plumber left. <em>may have cried a bit.</em></div>
