Absolutely
The 1st photo was taken to show the completion of a mission101 task from a couple of years ago, so doesn't actually show the office terrifically, but it does show the carpet and the paneling that came with this house that I've wanted removed since the day we moved in, which was accomplished in the 2nd photo.
and by the 3rd photo we have a sort of...semi-nearly done...but not-quite-completely-completed workroom for me. The wall you can't see is the color of the floor, all the rest are just a shade lighter than the gray of the furniture. Soon, there will be a twin bed against the floor-coloredwall and then, the room willl be more complete and then soon thereafter, there will be an organizing unit in the now totally empty closet making the room entirely complete.
This took sooooooooooo much longer than it should have...geez!!

35. Favorite ice cream?
right now, it's Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra, stunningly good
Sounds yummy! I'll have to try it. At first glance I thought it was Kama Sutra. lol!
They are pretty clever in naming their ice creams. When you do try it, I hope you enjoy!
True, this. I love fish, but that's why I can't eat baked trout. :/
Italy for the art - that's still on my bucket list, but it must be brilliant. :)
Erte must have been such a special cat. It's so seldom and kind of a miracle when we have a connection like that to another living being. I think nothing can ever replace that.
Wow, was that gorgeous wood floor hidden under the carpet?
I think you're right about that amazing connection we can feel for other creatures and, yeah, Erte was special, a friend was taking her to the pound, as a tiny kitten, when I snagged her away and she lived with us 15 years, a very long time.
And yes, all the houses around here built in the 40s, 50s, and early 60s have those wonderful hardwood floors, most, happily covered for years by carpeting, all the rage in the late 60s and 70s, which protected them. One by one, we've removed the carpet from our 3 bedrooms and all had lovely wood floors.
And as for my new workroom, I couldn't be more comfortable in the same room David could not have more uncomfortable in when that room was his office, so...WIN/ WIN!!!!
Thanks for doing the meme. Some of the answers were just what I expected, some were surprising. And yes, I agree, you and David and Lauren MUST go to Italy. Just walking the streets in Rome is an artistic experience. FanSee
I'm glad I can still surprise you!
I've always felt guilty almost that I had an opportunity to see Italy while David hasn't been able to, but that's also because I was willing to spend my very last dime to do so and he's far too pragmatic to do that plus, he'd never do hostels which I had to do. One day!!!
We are agreed on #s 5 and 15.
What is Malt O Meal and the way you describe it with sugar and butter and milk make me want it right now.
#5 & #15...some day, I swear and before I'm too old to give a damn where I'm living :D
This is a blog site where a fan of Malt-O-Meal, actually cream of wheat, extolls its virtues:
http://thatblogsavantgirl.blogspot.com/2011/10/i-love-malt-o-meal-hot-cereal.html
You'll find in it the cereal isle, after you boil the milk, it takes one minute to cook, one minute to sit and you're ready to add whatever toppings you want. We buy original, not instant.
'Maybe it's a west coast thing?'
Nope, check Wiki, they're headquarter in Minneapolis and are the 5th largest cereal company in the US.

#4 .. LOVE that show, especially Sheldon.
#19 ... I was like that when I had my beloved german Shepherd Sheba put to sleep, I swore I would never have another dog, and have only had cats since, she was irreplaceable.
Enjoyed the before and after pics. :D
Sheldon is fabulous and the interaction between all the characters.
Some animals leave such a mark, they do become irreplaceable like my Erte, like your Sheba.
Thank you, I enjoyed being able to post them.
#7 Yeah for Italian food ;)
#20 Oh yes, me too!
Loved to read your answers ♥
And I've loved to see all the changes you made in the rooms.
Good job!
#& :DD
#20 my initial reaction is OH YAY, you too!! but not being able to see out is actually something of a problem at times. A couple of days ago, I was having lunch with two women friends, they were about to seat us at a table in the windowless room when I had to ask to be changed to the other room with two lovely windows. The hostess was confused but obliging, my friends just laughed, and I got my view outside :D
Thank you!! I'm so pleased with how both room s turned out.
Thank you, the remodel was something whose time had come and once we started, it really end up being pretty easy :D
I've only been twice, once in the late 70s, with my husband, and then again about 3 years ago with him and Lauren and both times was amazing. I so want to live there. I hope you are able to visit every single place you want.
