You either like Lana Del Rey or you don't. Her singing style may take a little getting used to but i'm all for quirky voices. I watched Burlesque this weekend and although christina did an okay acting job (def better than britney in crossroads!), her voice just isn't for me. Cher's such a great actor! Who knew her acting could be so subtle when in reality she's larger than life! So yeah. I don't likey screaming singing. Big poppa and i made some additional progress with our flooring remodel with the laminate wood. Our goal for the weekend was to complete the rest of the first floor which included the kitchen, bathroom, small dining area, laundry room, pantry and small closet. We accomplished only 25% of it. And our bodies were so incredibly sore. As if we weren't busy enough, Alfie got a UTI and was peeing cloudy pink droplets everywhere. Poor guy. We took him to the vet and got him some antibiotics. He's a tough guy who deep down really is a scaredy cat. So our reno obstacles included the fact that we had to remove the toilet, which turned out to be a lot easier than putting it back. It took us three tries. Two sets of screws. Two sets of wax rings. And just really gross. Then there was moving out the fridge and stove. More grossness in the form of lots of rat poop. It was like no signal on the telly. Okay not that bad. But bless big poppa's heart for taking on that challenge while everyone pretended to be busy with other things. And right when we thought the hard parts were finally over with, planks from the left area didn't quite meet up with the planks from the right area. I was so mad. There's this huge gap. The only solution now is to put a transition bar across the entire gap which just messes up the flow. I am still mad every time i think about it. I just wanted to go all hulk and rip everything up and throw it everywhere whilst screaming like a banshee. Big poppa, stop saying it'll be okay. Argh. Oh yeah, big poppa kept throwing f-bombs my way for constantly screwing up the measuring. Measure once, cut twice. I know. It's supposed to be the other way around. Hah. Steel magnolias came on the telly so i watched that while working. I wouldn't recommend doing that. Towards the end when shelby was taken off life support, the measuring tape was all blurry from the tears in my eyes. Maybe that's why everything was so inaccurate.
