House Update!


By Say What You Need To Say (Visit website)







Hey everyone!  


As promised, I wanted to give you some updates on the house. 


We are in the final stages and starting to see everything come together.  The tile is all in, the trim is done, the painting is complete and now it's just waiting for things like cabinets, appliances and all of the finishing touches.  The problem is, waiting for these things puts other things on hold.  For example, we need the cabinets to go in before the appliances can go in or the counter tops are done.  The cabinets took a little longer than expected which put us back, thus pushing everything else back.  Normally, these little hinderances don't have too much of an effect, but when you are in the final weeks, it means everything else is put on hold, including the move in.  That is where major frustration comes in, but really, the only thing we can do is wait and bask in the beauty of what has been done so far:

Our Master Bedroom 


Upstairs Spare Bathroom


Beautiful Tray Ceiling in the Dining Room 


Breakfast area/kitchen


The Kitchen 


So you see, it's really coming along and in just a few weeks, we'll be in!!! In the meantime, do bare with me as I try to keep it all together.  This is one stressful time. 


I had quite a busy day. 


Kashi Go Lean, Kashi Berry Blossom, Berries, Vanilla Chobani, White Chocolate Wonderful, Vanilla Granola 




After a morning in the office, I needed to run out for a quick meeting and afterwards, decided to stop home for lunch.  




I used the leftovers from last night and added some bulk to the salad.  I think I added chic peas, asparagus and beets and then had a great idea of plop some hummus on top. 


I also heated up the leftover pizza put added some tomato chutney to one of the slices. 






I ended up staying late at work and didn't make it to the gym.  I'm so use to running after work that I fear sometimes I may not be hungry for dinner if I don't run.  I always work up my appetite with a workout after work, so I wasn't sure how hungry I would be for dinner.



Turns out I was hungry.



I made us some quick Burrito Bowls by using brown rice, grilled tofu, broccoli, peppers, and tomato.



New cooking method: Grilled Tofu!  I usually just pan fry it but this way was great!  Love the grill marks.



The bowl was missing something?..



Oh right!  The essential condiments.  Gauc, Salsa and Greek Yogurt

Mmmmmm, tasty! 




Well, I'm off.  We are meeting our builder tonight, a little later than I would prefer, but I'm willing to make sacrifices when it comes to house talk. 


See you tomorrow!!
