Unmotivated

I have a bunch of stuff to do this week and need to get the ball rolling but I am so unmotivated! I've been such a bad blogger. I haven't updated this blog for almost a month now. Everyday I keep saying, I will log on and update. Everyday I sit on my butt in the front of the TV. =(

Just a quite update, I was out with the flu about three weeks ago! I can't believe I got the flu. I usually get colds, maybe a bad cold, but I don't ever remember getting the flu. Unfortunately, as a by product of the flu, I trying to get rid of a cough! It's been about three weeks now and I still have THE COUGH!

On a better note, the husband and I have been going to the gym every Wednesday for the past two weeks. Now we just need to add 2 more days in that schedule to make 3 work-out days! One month and two days until vacation! I CAN'T wait! I'm so looking forward to vacation! I just need to remember to finish a bunch of projects (personal and work) before heading out.

I'm so proud of the husband today! Well, I must provide some history first. The husband is NO HANDYMAN! He avoids fixing things around the house until I give him a nudge (well, more like a kick in the butt ;P). It seems like there is always the excuse of "well, I don't know how to fix that" or "I don't know how to do this." You would wondered how they ever built skyscrapers if everyone kept up with those comments. Anyway, our place was built back in the 70's (1970's to be more specific). When we moved in, we made some cosmetic interior changes but we never fixed the bathrooms (limited funds ya know). Now, the outside bathtub on the second floor has a leak but we haven't fixed it yet. No one uses that bathtub so we don't want to spend the money just quite yet.

Anyway, we also have a bathroom in our bedroom. That bathroom has this faucet drip in the bathtub that is quite annoying to me. The husband seems to be fine with it but I really cannot tolerate faucet drips. If there's anything I can't stand (well...actually...there's probably a lot of things I can't stand), it's faucet drips. This past week, the dripping got worst. I mean, I used a one gallon tupperware to see how much the drip was for a day and the next day, it overflowed. This happened for a good 4 days. That's 4 gallons plus of wasted water! Today, we decided to head to Home Depot to buy a new faucet set. As we were getting ready to buy the set, this Home Depot employee, told us we needed a particular part to install the set. This part is called a "stem."

I had no idea what a "stem" was and of course the husband didn't know either. We followed the HD employee and he showed us the item. In talking to him, we also realized that we did not have to replace the whole entire faucet set, which would have cost about $ 80! Switching out the stem only cost about $ 15!

Anyway, we left HD and arrived home so that we could remove the original stem part. (The husband actually wanted to wait until NEXT WEEK to work on this project.) Can I say, eyeroll? I was, like, "No, we are fixing this dripping TODAY!" After the husband removed the stem, we headed back to HD and purchased the replacement part. The husband installed the new part and now we have a non-drip faucet! I LOVE IT! No more, drip, drip, drip, drip...... Plus, the husband learned how to fix a dripping faucet! Exra plus for him! =)
