The Future Holds Dust and Sand

After two years of talking about it, we are actually going to remodel our bathrooms. We have made everyone we know sick with our bathroom planning conversations and honestly I, myself, cannot hear about it anymore.
I think I am dreaming when I go into the kids' bathroom and see that it has been demolished. At this point, the actual rennovation has to happen, right?
We have been waiting for sooooooooo long, that all the construction nightmares that people talk about, I will welcome with open arms.
I am so excited!!!!!
I am getting a new closet out of the deal, the kids are getting a nice, spacious jetted spa and a slightly bigger bathroom. My environmentally conscious better half insisted on "dual flush toilets" (you press one button for #1 and the water consumption is just 0.9 gpf, you press the bigger button for #2 and it delivers a 1.6 gpf) (gpf=gallons per flush). When he was trying to "sell" this toilet to me, I looked at him with great big eyes (well, at least as much as I can open them, which granted, is not much at all) and a light bulb went on in my mind. "Ohhh, so that's why in your parents' home there are 2 buttons to flush" I never knew. No one ever explained this system to me. I always pressed one, I don't know which one." I feel so stupid! For 15 years I have visited bathrooms in Europe and I never had a clue about the two flushers. Wow, I feel enlightened!
Anyway, I went off subject.... back to our beautiful soon to be remodeled bathrooms...
Right now, Patrick and I share a sink and I cannot wait to be able to brush my teeth without waiting in line or blow dry my hair without sharing the space with a man shaving. Did I mention the walk-in shower with a glass block wall; the "car wash" style shower panel with 6 body jets and the heated tile floor? Yep, we are getting those too. In my mind both bathrooms are just gorgeous. I truly do hope the reality will be the same.
After all this wonderful mess, the nicest part of our home will, by far, be the bathrooms so don't be surprised if we invite you for tea and cake in the bathtub.
So, that is the dusty part of the news. For the sandy part, we are just so happy to announce that we are going to Guatemala for Easter (a whole two wonderful, fantastic weeks). One of those weeks we will spend in my sister's beach house. I cannot wait! There is too many exciting things happenning! Life is good!
