Well, it’s official. One week from today, my piece of crap carpeting will be gone and I’ll be walking on my shiny, clean and beautiful laminate flooring. Remember when I asked y’all to help me decide between carpet and laminate? Well, you helped me alright, truly! Thank you for your input! If someone had told me three years ago that some strangers on the internet would help me make flooring decisions, why, I would think they were crazy.
What I didn’t mention when I asked you the question, is that we have a beaten path on our carpet, our garage is on the other side of the living room, so if we were to bring in groceries, which we do about 70 times a month, we tread straight through our living room to get into our kitchen. Plus with all the trips from my chair to the kitchen to refill my nachos, you would just have to believe my carpet is all wore out! That was our decision maker to go ahead with laminate. And it will be installed next week.
NEXT. WEEK. !!!!!!
To say I’m excited would be an understatement.
But don’t worry, some of my excitement was lost on me today as I entered my OB’s office for the Ever Pleasant Annual Examination. Something about the Brawny robes covering my lady parts and the long plastic sticks and the Scary Silver Device just make that visit so much fun. Not to mention the stranger seeing the parts that I even hide from myself. But hey, at least I shaved. Heck, at least I showered.
I guess it’s going to be a good day after all. (especially since I have drunko bunco tonight.)
I giggled. It is a very important day when we actually shave isn’t it?
I want to play drunko, I mean bunko too! How fun…

I’d be intersted in seeing an “after” picture of you’re living room if you’re willing to post it. We’re thinking of doing the same, and I’m just not sure about it. Thanks!

Just thought I’d share…find an experienced direct-entry midwife (or lay midwife) in your area. Most of them do those annual thingies, and are waaaaay better than any OB. I know. I’ve done both. And midwives are cheaper.

I must have missed the post about carpet vs. laminate…but I have to stick in my 2 cents….I looooove my laminate/hardwood floors. I do not miss the carpet. We have one kind in the family room we put down about 10 years ago and we trek thru the garage into the kitchen with groceries and it still looks like the day it was put down. It does take a special cleaner and I want to stress to you that you need to use the cleaner they suggest…cause that is what keeps it looking like new. We have another kind of laminate in our living/dining area and it is a better quality than the family room and I just love it too. It has a special cleaner as well, but I never have to clean it..only when something spills or a dog accident. The only down fall I have is, I have to make sure that water or liquid stands too long if spilled…cause it will buckle the spot..we have a few hidden spots to prove it….other than that…enjoy your new floor..it’s a whole new world! Breath healthier!

I’m so jealous! I have been wanting laminate flooring in my kitchen (currently tile) and dining room (currently carpet).
