A Cleaning Tip

 

 

If you have kids like I do then it’s just a matter of time before your precious little one finds a permanent marker and draws on something they shouldn’t. My little guy found  red, blue, and black sharpies and proceeded to draw me a wonderful mural of scribbles all over my living room floor (this is when the  Chateau had a floor in that room). It was amazingly artisitc and showed real talent. However, talented it was it had to go!

 

My friend told me to use sunscreen to get rid of it. I thought she was smoking cherry flavored crack (didn’t you know it comes in flavors? No ,well maybe it doesn’t but I always say it does). So I tried it and guess what !

 

 

IT WORKED!!!!

 

So try it you might like it!

We Won't be Homeless!!!

 

 

C and I have secured a new home. It’s a rental but it’s a house. A real house. The Landlord asked that I not mention too many details on the blog, and because I really want to kiss up here I will only share what She has agreed to.

 

 

It is a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath 2 story house. It is just slightly under 2000 sq feet (which sounds giant to us the Chateau is 1080!)

 

 

When I asked the Landlord if the property had ceilings, floors, and sinks she looked at me a bit funny but you all out there in blogland know why I’d ask.

 

 

It is turnkey! There isn’t a thing wrong with it right now.

She has some tenets in there right now( they don’t know she isn’t renewing their lease so that’s why its hush hush) so we couldn’t really see a whole lot but I felt peace when I walked in and now that it’s secure I feel so much better. The stress of everything was causing me to have non-stop paniac attacks.

 

 

We move in October 1^st! C and I even started packing already. We can’t take our couch or beds with us because of the possibilities of mold spoors so they will be hauled away and tossed in the dump. I wouldn’t dare donate the couch and anyone that buys a used mattress needs to be slapped!

 

 

Call me Pollyanna

 

 

But make sure it’s the Hailey Mills version and not the weird one from the 90’s with that kid from the Cosby show.

 

I am determined to make the move from Chateau Ghetto to where ever as fun and exciting as I can. In the spirit of that and Pollyanna I am making a list of all the things that will make me glad about moving to a new place.

 

 

·       Big bathtubs that are fatfriendly with plenty of room for flopover factor. I am afterall a plump woman that has always hated the skinny minnie bathtub the Chateau offered

·       Mulitple bath tubs – it’s not that I need them but doesn’t it sound grand?

·       Ceilings in all rooms

·       Floors that don’t have avoid spots – there are now 6 spots in my bedroom that if carpet wasn’t there you’d step clean through to the downstairs.

·       Sinks in bathrooms and heck let’s be crazy I bet there are places out there to rent that have sinks in bathrooms, kitchens, and maybe even laundry rooms

·       Inside laundry rooms – when we bought the chateau I thought how nice it was that the laundry was outside and not taking up living space. At least until I forgot I was doing laundry the first time and got really stinky moldy smelling laundry

·       Storage space – right now we have the closet under the stairs. I’ve gotten rid of most of the furniture so we could breath a bit but still don’t have a place to put anything.

·       Parking your car without the threat of towing if you don’t have your sticker in place

·       No HOA! Do I really need to explain that further?

Which One would you Pick as a Headboard?

I'm not sure which one I'd choose. Let me know your vote…

Amazing Headboard Idea

 

I found this mural on a wonderful new website. Well the site isn't new but finding it was. Dezign with a Z makes these vinyl wall murals. They come in any size you can dream up. They apply to the wall like stickers. They peel off without any damage. How wonderful is that? Can you imagine falling asleep in front of the Trevi Fountain everynight? If you get tired of it simple remove it and do something else. They have tons of already made designs plus they can do any picture you submit.
