Rooms/areas finished painting- 7
Rooms cleaned- 2.5
Exciting project of the day: The floors are getting refinished!

Today and Monday through Thursday next week our hardwood floors are getting their extreme makeover. Over the weekend I will finish painting the remaining bathroom, master bedroom and kitchen. Yesterday I finally really scrubbed half of the kitchen and both bathrooms, I am so much more comfortable in them now!
When cleaning the kitchen I pulled out the shelf beneath the stove (the one appliance that came with the house) and was faced with oodles of dust bunnies, spider webs/nests, dead spiders and dead bugs, among more un-identifiable crap. I thought I would have been able to live with this stove as it wasn’t new, but also not too old, but after getting a glimpse of this and only being able to imagine what was living (or dead) in all the stove crevices that I can’t see gave me the heebie-jeebies big time. Now I may want a new stove!! This kind of sucks because we are already buying a fridge, washer/drier and a dishwasher (all eco friendly and energy efficient mind you), and I had been kinda glad that we didn’t have to also buy a stove. But seeing so much gross in an instrument with which I cook our meals makes me want to take the materialistic high road, which I never thought I would do.
Then again, this may be a great excuse to get a gas line added and finally be able to have a gas stove, which has been my dream ever since moving out of my mom’s house. Heck we are spending money as if it’s water at this point, might as well keep going, right!

In other news- I see a lot of packing in our future, I suppose I had better get started.
