I got home tonight in -26 (-38 with the wind chill or something ridiculous like that) and let the dog out (I said to her this morning ... I'm sure glad I don't have to go outside to pee) ... checked for the mail and I found my new bedroom carpet (purchased online) on the front porch ... I LOVE IT!
Eat FAST and upstairs to get it in place.
Previously I'd had two very small (but beautiful and I'm being honest) green shag carpets I'd snagged (well paid for) second hand from my sister that I've really just "made do" for quite some time. I've ALWAYS wanted a turquoise carpet in the bedroom (and I have summer bedding to show you why some time in the Spring - usually March).
Anyways ... did I think I was going up there to have a workout ... no ... but I DID ... if you are like me and you like doing everything the hard way first ... that's exactly what I did - and, proudly, by myself. I tried to get the carpet under the queen size bed with headboard, rails and footboard without taking anything off ... then ... maybe I'll just take off the bedding ... nope ... how about the mattress ... nope ... how about move the entire frigging bed including boxspring out of the room and start empty ... did I just about pee my pants ... yes ... thank God for depends ... you try and lift a bed with everything on it and see what happens LOL ... and sweat my false eyelashes right off ... but it's done and here it is!
No, I didn't take before pics ... as I said eat FAST and get it done ... I only wish I knew how to take better pictures (I see a class for this in my immediate future)!
NOTE TO SELF . . . next time turn the ceiling fan on BEFORE you get started!
