They're not called Don't-nuts ;)
The Kwik-E-Marts have arrived. Here's a link to see way more simpson's goodness. I wished there was a kwik-e-mart in my neighborhood. They even have Bart's favorite comic...I have to go do a movie marathon soon. Harry potter, simpsons, evan almighty, the list is growing...
I've picked my carpet. I actually found a very cool carpet yesterday that was created from a new kind of yarn...it was sooooo soft and had several colors in it which made it very pretty, a new kind of backing to resist wear to the point they guaranteed it for 10 years.....all for the measly price of 35.00 a square yard (I believe the carpet guy's exact response to the cost was "CHA-CHING!). ouch. so needless to say didn't go there...maybe in the house I build at some point. I seem to be using this house to test my ultimate house finishings. and this house is the nice but less expensive version. Real house will have gorgeous hardwoods and pretty multi-colored carpet, stainless steel appliances(or maybe the pretty bronze version of appliances I'm seeing in the architectural magazines....) Yes this is a pipe dream, but you know that's why it's fun.
The reality though is I'm getting a nice, densely woven, crush-resistant carpet for less than half of the dream carpet. I find it interesting that they always want to sell you what they have in stock. but ew. the shaggy look is coming back and they've put it in a lot of newer houses and have ordered apparently a buttload of it but for me.. uhm...no. My dogs do not need to be able to have an intimate relationship with the carpeting. Another reason to custom build in my opinion. so I'll have to wait for it...or maybe it's because I have so little carpet left in my house after the wood laminate went in. But it still is very unattractive currently and needs to be dealt with. I will also need to look into purchasing a new camera I'm really kinda missing having one...
