Miss my hump days

Okay girlfriends, you should all be honored because I have finally decided to make a post.  First of all I think you should just know from the start there's not going to be many pictures because lets face it, once meg left that job just doesn't get done as well.  Love you girl.  Anyway, I've decided that I should let you all know how much I love and miss you, since the house is in no way the same without you.  

Item number one, we officially have new roomies.  We had to go through the worst cleaning check ever to get the house ready enough for them to move in.  People weren't kidding when they said that Aspen Ridge had one lady who was a cleaning nazi.  I hope she never comes here again.  Back to the roomies though.  They're all real nice, we get along with them surprisingly well.  One of them even loves football, and you all know how happy that makes me.  Buuuuuut they wanted to clean out the house.  Fine idea since there's so much stuff here, but they actually decided to give away everything.  Including stuff that belongs to B and me.  So that's a tiny bit frustrating.  One good thing though is that one of the girl's dad offered to pay for us to paint the house, so now every room but the kitchen and bathroom have been painted.  The house has a more mature feel/look which I can't decide if I love or not yet.  But i'm sure I will.  Here's a pic of us working on the front room, with the help of the ward of course.  I loved FHE that night, right up until I fell off a stool while trying to edge above the window.  My bad.

The room is a nice shade of sage green, like I said, much more mature.  Miss the bright blue, I'm not going to lie.  It does help the house out though, makes it a bit classier which is what I think we all would like for it anyway.  But as long as I don't end up with a baby pink kitchen like they would like to do, I'm a happy camper.  Plus me and B painted our room a nice bright teal to keep the spirit of the yellow house alive.  Here's me in the middle of all our stuff.

The most exciting part of the whole renovation is that as we were painting the front room, brother Cox decided he didn't feel okay about leaving the wallpaper that was bubbling off of the wall by the radiator there.  You all know what wall I'm talking about.  So he peeled it off to find black mold.  Everywhere.  Guess we've all been putting our health at risk.  Whoopsies.  Anyway, we scrubbed it all off and have left that wall unpainted so that the management company can actually help us out and take care of it.  Here's a little vid of the wall and mold, along with Brynne's thoughts and feelings.

Anyway I have missed my hump days in the little time I've spent at the Yellow house this summer.  I will post later about all my trips that took me away from the house, but I've pretty much been more or less gone since July.  Good thing I'm really rich and the fact that I pay close to 300 dollars a month in rent doesn't matter....or I don't have any money or a job.  You pick.  Back to the point, its going to be a weird year without my girls here in the big yellow joint.  Hopefully it will turn out close to how great last year was, but I actually can't lie about how hard it will be to beat last year.  I'll keep you all posted though on the haps of the house and those in it, especially B and me.  And you guys have to post about your lives because you never talk to me anymore.  And I'm just not okay with that.
