How are you feeling today (chart)? Answer: Hopeful

This weekend, we got all of the wall paneling off in the master bedroom. This morning, I called to order a small dumpster to be put in our driveway so that we can start some more deconstruction. For my birthday this year, I wanted to finish (at least for the most part) the master bedroom, which has been in shambles since about October. We currently have already taken out the carpet, taken out two of the three closets, taken off all of the paneling on the walls, which included opening up 1/2 of the window that had been covered, and 1 wall has been mostly deplastered and de-lathed. Now we just have to wait for a dumpster to be able to haul away some of the junk before we can take off the plaster and lathe from the other three walls and then we're just about ready for the RECONSTRUCTION!!! I'm so excited. You don't even know. Plus, if we have enough room, I'm going to throw away the old carpet padding and probably carpet that we'd pulled up from inside the house (although I'm hoping to use a little of the decent carpet for the basement). We'll see how it all goes. It was sorta expensive to get the dumpster, but I think it will be well worth the time we'll have saved and the effort and all that whatnot.

I almost don't mind the fact that it's 16 degrees right now (-2 with windchill) and that we'll have to walk home in the several inches of snow because there's a possibility that when we get home, there will be a dumpster waiting for me. Woo hoo!

I want pizza tonight. Oh well, I guess I'll eat homemade lasagna instead.
