Weekend of 9-12 to 9-14 events

Just wanted to recap this weekend and share some of what happened for y'all. On Friday I got some books from the library about plumbing. I'm hoping to learn about how to remodel my bathroom. I would like to replace the sink, toilet, and bath tub. Basically I'm wanting to redo everything. I already got all the old wallpaper off the walls and pretty much cleared out all the little unnecessary crap out of there. I will probably go ahead and purchase a tub soon, because that is the first thing that I want done. The tub that I have now is terrible. It is a old claw foot style tub that has the enamel peeling off, chips broken off, and just looks terrible. Thinking that it is going to be a blast removing it. What I'm going to do is use a sledge hammer and just break the shit out of it. Love destroying stuff. But I have to be quick about it, because their are creatures living in that area. Killed a couple of mice through this little access door, so I know that they're there. Anyways, I have big plans to make the bathroom really nice, just need to learn everything first before tackling a big project like that. Also on this day I had the window guy that had given me an estimate a month ago for some windows come back, so that we can get the ball rolling. I should have some new windows in about a month. So that is going to be nice, what wasn't nice was paying him. Always sucks to fork out money for home repairs, but it should save me money in the long run.

Saturday I went to a wedding. One of my friends that I used to work with got married. So that was good. She was a good friend and co-worker, who I really enjoyed working with. Hope they enjoy their lives together. It was a open bar this night as well, which is always good.

Sunday I pretty much slept in. Did get home late from the night before, plus it was raining...always like to be lazy and sleep when it rains. Caught up on all the news on TV and watched the Colts game. Basically watched TV all day. I usually don't watch TV much at all. But on this day I just felt like it. Played N+ for about an hour, advanced a couple more episodes. Really love this game. After that I watched "The Secret", which is a motivational DVD that I've watched a few times already. It is really good, because it teaches you the secret that some of the greatest thinkers have mastered. They have gone on to accomplish phenomenal things. It teaches you to think positive. All actions and events that happen are a result of the energy in our bodies, especially from the brain. So if you think differently you can achieve almost anything. After this time watching it, I followed their advice a little more closely and wrote out my plan of action, my goals for the rest of my life, and the stuff that I want to see materialize. I am going to as a result of these actions, become the person I truly want to be. So yeah, expect big changes (if you're following me). That's basically Sunday in a nut shell. Big stuff is happening.

We received record rain fall this weekend. In the O'hare area they received a little over 8 inches of rain, which is insane. Here in the area where I live we got over 6 inches. My basement of course was pretty watered log, but you know what? I really don't care. Looks like it has been flooded before, so oh well. Actually found it sorta funny to see the water coming out of the concrete steps going down to the basement. Luckily enough there is a drain that was taking the water out, so when the rain stops it usually catches up and drains all the water.

Well I guess that is about all, hope everybody is safe after the bad weather we've been getting lately. Take care everybody!

Hope the remodeling goes well. We are remodeling a entire house ourselves. Which...will be a blast, but its going to be fun to put whatever we want into the house.
