Almost 2 weeks

Good Morning to you all, hope life is well and things are going good. 2013 has been great for Matt and I thus far and we are doing well and all seems to be good in our little house. All of the dry wall is now up and most of it mudded, will finish mudding today and then it is time to sand and then we can paint this bitch and get things unpacked finally.
As for the almost 2 weeks as title of blog, it is almost 2 weeks that I have quit smoking, I have not had a cigarette since New Years Eve. I am quite proud of myself after almost 30 years of smoking, starting to smoke when I was only 12 years old. This has been a battle for me my entire life and for the first time I have support to help me quit, thank you my hot husband. He has stopped smoking cigars and everything to support me in my battle to quit. For those who don't know I have suffered from C.O.P.D. now for over 5 years and it was really starting to effect me and my life.

So back to what we have been up to lately in the house, we are on our last few little things to get done and it is going fairly well. Now that it is dry walled, mudded, next step is sanding and then time to paint and do these floors downstairs and paint the hard wood upstairs, yes I said paint, on the main floor we are staining them a dark brown and upstairs i am painting them grey in the spare room and master bedroom.
Will post pictures when we are all done the house, by the way yes I am taking my time doing the house and finishing stuff here.

So our new year has been going great and we are both doing well. I have to be honest though I have been very upset and totally stressed about one or two things. The first is at Christmas I reached out and contacted my mother by phone and talked with her and honestly tried to reconnect with her and be a part of her life again. maybe this was a mistake, I am not sure, I really thought she would phone here and wish me a Happy New Year or at least reach out as I did, maybe I was wrong and she is really done with me as she has told other people. Who the hell knows and maybe by writing about this i will quit caring or at least quit thinking about it.
The other thing I am stressed about right now is just me being a worry wart so I will get over that too and choose not to tell anyone at the moment.

Well not a whole ot more to say at the moment, except have a great weekend and talk to you all soon.

2013

Well we are in a New Year and I could not be happier, it has started off great so far. New Years Eve we had a small party which was perfect and we had great friends over, nothing could have been better.
At our little party Nancy, who is always so generous and a lot of fun, Louisa, a women of many stories and laughs throughout the night. Wayne who I just adore and has made a far better friend than a boyfriend, though both were great, he brought his friend Avin. Mara and Jeff got here and it was so nice to see Mara let loose and have fun, and watching Jeff dance and just have fun. Jeff and Mara friends Ashley and Will came by as well, not sure they were too with our small get together but what the hell we all had fun and partied till the wee hours of the morning, I finally went to bed at 6:30am after cleaning up and stuff.
New years day Matt was a little hung over as were many of our friends, I am sure. So glad and happy to have brought in the New Year with good friends, thank you all for coming.

After New Years I ended up taking a couple days off and relaxing a bit and taking a break from the house and work in the house because preparing for New years eve, I worked my ass off building a bulk head, and dry walling the ceiling in the house and the rest of the walls. Today back to work and get some of this mud and taping done and finish the walls and then tomorrow hopefully sanding and painting and getting this fucking house to completion, I will be so glad when it is all done and life goes back to normal.

I love it when I get to paint and decorate and finish the rough parts and make things look great, but getting to that point has been really trying for the both of us and made me a little, okay a lot bitchy at times and I wish I had more help some days but what can you do.

So anyway I am going to get back to work and finish what I want to get done today in the house. Hopefully I can get a lot accomplished today. Happy New Year to all that we love and all of our friends around the world.

Take care and thanks for reading.
