Showertime
I have looked at more showers in the last year than I ever have wanted to. We remodeled my upstairs bathroom and added a new shower last summer. We also added a new tub and had to tear down all the tile that was there before (good times, let me tell you). This summer we added a new bathroom to the basement downstairs. I don’t miss living in a construction zone. However, it is very nice to have two full bathrooms now. However, both of my bathrooms spaces are small, so I could not go all out like I wanted to.
In the basement, we had very little space to work with due to the configuration of my basement. We ended up putting up a shower enclosure (However, I had no idea that you could get a shower enclosures online. If I would have known that, I would not have let my husband pick it out. Somebody had to stay home with the kids, so I let him pick it out by himself. He did do a good job, but I probably would have picked something different.) However, if you only have a small space and want to add a full bath, I definitely recommend shower enclosures. They offer a lot more room than they look, and it is nice having two showers when you are trying to get ready for parties and such.
Eventually, when we add on to upstairs, I am going to check out the shower store and look into getting discount steam shower. We are going to add in a hot tub up there, so we need the shower to be seperate. What would be better than a steam shower? They look awesome and extremely relaxing. If you are lacking on space, they even offer steam showers with minitubs attached!
I personally can’t wait to remodel again, so we can spruce up our house. Even the economy is in the tank, houses still are a good value. Even though houses prices have dropped for the time being, they will bounce back. Remodeling also makes it more enjoyable for you to stay in the house you are in. By building out our basement, we can definitely stay in this house a lot longer (my upstairs only has 980 square feet, so we were a little cramped up here).
What does your bathroom look like? What kind of upgrades would you like to make?

Starting my weight loss journey
Okay, I am putting myself on a diet. Ok, not quite a diet. It is a new product called Sensa. I’ll be honest — I’d love to lose about a hundred pounds. However, at this point, I would like any sort of weight loss. My goal is to do an update post each week. If I don’t, somebody clock me upside my head and remind me. Sensa is a product that allows you to eat whatever you want. However, it helps with your portion control. All you do is shake a some of the Sensa on your food everytime you eat, and it does it’s magic.
I weighed myself this morning, so I know my starting weight (no, I am not listing it here) and I took some pictures (well, my mom was here and took them):
So I guess we can call these the “before” pictures. I’ve watched the DVD that came with the Sensa, and it said that some women don’t see a change until 3 months into this. I hope that isn’t me. I am all for instant results. The first thing I have noticed is that the Sensa makes my food taste better. Now, I plan on mostly keeping to my normal lifestyle, and we will see if this works for me. If you’d like to join me on this journey, use ROCKETXL to get 15% off your order (no minimum order either) and you’ll get free shipping too.
Izeafest: Night 3 – IzeaHunt
I would like to say that I was sober for the entire time I was at Izeafest. I ended up as the driver 2 out of the 3 nights, and I really don’t believe in drunk driving. That being said I did do the IzeaHunt without anything alcohol in me. We had to do a ton of wild and crazy things. What was at stake? A $100 gift card for Home Depot for all of us. When money is on the line, well, you do crazy things. Honestly I wish I would have brought some other outdoor clothing with. My clothes were almost destroyed from this scavenger hunt. It took several washings once I got home to get the shaving cream and chocolate sauce out!
For some reason, I cannot find my team photos on Flickr at all. What I will do is show you some of the other teams instead. You will see how crazy this really did get:
Ohh I take that back, I did find one and you can’t see me (yeah! — I’m in the blue shirt):
Ok, we had to do crazy things like take a picture with a 6’5″ person, make a human sundae, get pineapple and a potato, walk somebody else’s dog, etc. There was 4 pages of things, and we only had about an hour to try and do as much as we could. One of the more crazy things we had to do was find a toilet seat and bring it back. I think Ted was the only one who was able to do that! Unfortunately, my team did not win. However, it was still a ton of fun!
After the hunt was over, we all took a break, sat down, talked, and ate some great food. I was able to sit down and talk to Cass and Sean Jackson. It was hard to believe that I was going to be hopping on a plane the next morning and heading back home (what I didn’t know at this time was that Chicago had gotten record levels of rain and my yard was literally a swimming pool. The water in my yard was up to my knees!). We were able to compare notes and just enjoy ourselves.
