Monday Morning Madness # 57: Remodeling & More Rain

Once again I'm writing a Monday Morning Madness post on a Monday night, even though I had planned on posting this morning. I was busy this morning writing two review posts and I became slightly ill this afternoon when my allergies/sinuses kicked in, which probably occurred due to the extremely hot weather outside.

Speaking of weather, there has been way too much rain this year. Unlike last year, my vegetable garden hasn't done very good . The tomatoes and the jalapenos haven't done very well, but the green pepper plants are growing. The zucchini plants have blown up, becoming a little too wild for my likening. Little one inch zucchinis would grown, but then they would just go to mush, so today I decided to pull up the zucchini plants and guess what I found the middle of them. One huge zucchini!

Despite feeling ill tonight, I did get my P90X3 workout finished. Actually, my body is extremely sore. On top of my daily workouts, I've mowed the yard five times in the last two weeks because of the rain. Plus, a few week ago, I had put in a new flooring in my bedroom, which is located in the basement. Rain water had gotten into the basement and I had to pull up the carpet. I had two extra boxes of tile, so I decided to put them down in the living room/desk area/family room and see what they would look like. Well, it looked a lot better than the old aluminum flooring, so I had to wait over a week for 12 more boxes of tile to arrive on my doorsteps, which I received last Friday afternoon. I didn't waste any time as I continued with the flooring that night. I finished the entire room on Sunday afternoon. Putting the tile down was the easy part, but moving the desk, entertainment center, chairs and bookshelves was the hardest. Anyway, that's the reason why I'm so sore.

You would think with everything I've been doing that I would be able to sleep, but no as I've been wide awake. With nothing else to do, I've been watching early morning television and besides from watching a few shows on the Disney Channel and those realty shows on  HGTV, there's nothing on but infomercials.

Maybe I need a long vacation and put my love for couponing to test and save on hotels in rome, but that's just a dream as I have way too many things to do around here. The bathroom/laundry room in the basement is my next project. It needs a new toilet and the shower handle needs to be replaced. The walls needs to be painted and a new wall border put up. I would like to put in a new flooring in the bathroom I would love to put in a sink counter top, but I don't think I can find the right size. Plus, I would like to put in new towel racks, a toilet holder and an over the toilet cabinet. Whenever I finish the bathroom, I would like to paint the walls in the hallway and the upstairs living room. Then, when it cools off a bit, I would like to paint the shed and the house as well as fix the cement steps to the front door.
