Happy Tails

Well, after calling around to many places last night and this morning, we finally found a place that would take Wallace (aka Braveheart), George (aka Curious George) and Thomas (aka Bommas). Turns out that all three of the kiddos were boys....so my instinct at naming them was right on.

We intially went to the Atlanta Humane Society and they told us there were three issues with them taking the kids - 1) they're too young and couldn't handle being neutered, if they kept them until they were old enough they'd likely get some infection and probably die; 2) they didn't weigh enough; 3) the shelter was full. Nice of them to get our hopes up.

Luckily Di knows some wonderful ladies at a PetsMart from the Georgia Humane Society and they love cats. They took one look at the kids and said, no problem - we'll take them. They'll give them a good once over and their vaccinations and take care of them until they can be neutered and then adopted. Here are some pics of the little ones.

There's no turning back now....

Yup...there is certainly no turning back now....



This is the carpet and padding from our master bathroom. *sigh* I guess we have to move forward with the plan to put down the tile now. :-)

And here is the master bathroom, all bare, concrete floors, looking very sad. But very, very soon it will be a grand room and we're all very excited about that!

My vanity....honestly, I hate it. It's pretty non-functional. But we're not doing a MAJOR remodel so I will have to live with it.

Ugh. DOUBLE UGH!! I am so over this beach theme. I mean, I love the beach as much as the next person, but after awhile it just gets old. Oh, and the peachy pink walls...triple UGH.

Also, the lady who decorated this house LOVED wallpaper border. EVERY room had it....well, the master bath, guest bath, two guest rooms have a border and the kitchen is fully wallpapered with a border. Jeepers. I actually love that Roman Shade...just not the colors.

Ahhh...my strong, handsome Shooter. He's having to pry up some border that the carpet was stapled into. Yea, I am a remodeling fool, I know all the insider terminology. This week we'll have to pull up the existing tile around the toilet and then scrape up the mortar under the tile. We'll also have to scrape up the glue and bits of pad that are remaining on the concrete. And of course by saying "we" I mean "Shooter". ;-)

I am definitely looking forward to keeping you guys updated. Next weekend the guys come to lay the tile. So I can post more next weekend. After that we have to pick the wall color and paint. Fun fun fun!!!!
