What- no conditioner?

This was the first full weekend at the cottage.  It was just me, the boys and the kids.  I actually went down there Thursday night, slept in the boys room with the kids.  I had to be there Friday as the counter tops were getting installed Friday morning and our new mattress was getting delivered then as well.  The Polish guys who installed the counter tops were a mixed crowd but one of them was hot in a dirty Eastern European gay porn star way- if you know what I mean.  The husband texted me to take a pic with my phone and send it to him- I told him no.  I also actually worked remotely from the cottage.  I was a bit hesitant about working an entire day remotely on just my laptop but it went well.

Speaking of the counter tops when we picked them out we thought we had decided on quartzite.  Quartzite apparently looks like marble but has the hardness of granite and is somewhere in-between them in porousness.  However last weekend when we went to make the final payment the manager told us it is not quartzite but Vermont white granite.  Regardless it looks frackin' amazing.  I took pics and emailed them to the husband who was out on the slope in Aspen with TK and MK.  St came over later in the day and was stunned with how great they look.

The mattress delivery took place at the same time.  We had gotten an amazing deal on a memory foam mattress and box spring.  When you get a new memory foam mattress is is vacuum packed and tiny.  Apparently it takes several hours for it to "grow" to its true size and thickness- that sounds really dirty....

I picked the boys up after going to TGT and buying a mirror for the bathroom and some small table lamps for the night stands in our room.  They were excited to be there.  They were thoroughly impressed with the Sony Bravia LCD HD 40" television set.  When they found out we had CMCSK and On Demand as well they were doubly psyched. 

I then showed them the bathroom.  they liked it and my oldest looked into the shower and asked what- no conditioner?  I was floored and immediately texted the husband that line.  I pointed out we had the Nivea 3 in 1 (it was on sale at TGT and the guy in the ad is smokin' hot as I've stated before) and he said, oh that works.

I then showed them the kitchen and the peninsula with the bar stools and told them that is where they are eating breakfast.  My youngest immediately called one of the stools as his for infinity.  They then asked why the dishwasher was not hooked up and why the faucet was not fully installed as well.  I explained we need to get the plumber in to hook up the dishwasher and I would be installing the faucet Saturday as I was told by my hot dirty Eastern European bf I had to wait 24 hours before I could use the sink.

Saturday was the day to learn some mad plumbing skills.  It basically took me most of the day and three trips to HD to get the damn thing in and working properly.  The faucet works brilliantly and more importantly nothing leaks!  My oldest was seriously impressed I pulled it off- as was I.

Sunday I then dust mopped everything- I am starting a bit to regret going with dark floors as all dust shows up really well, lol.  After that I damp mopped the floors to take off all the foot prints from the counter top guys.  Then I put non-skid mats under the rug in the living room and boys bedroom.  ST then came over with his latest batch of puppies and the boys were totally enthralled.  Then it was time to take them back to their mom's house.  I then finished some cleaning at the cottage, showered up, packed up the truck, headed up to EWR and picked up the husband.

I was supposed run this morning to make up my missed one Sunday- so not happening, lol.  Especially when it is arctic-like outside.  I did make it to the dojo- sweep the leg!- though tonight and got banged up.  I took a knee I think to the mug and am going to end up with a good ol' fashioned black eye I think.  Actually I know as it is already starting to show- should make for an interesting week at work as I will tell friends the husband was upset I said no to the Sub-Zero refrigerator....

So I read this morning on BBRG how some strategist at Standard Charter is predicting an economic super cycle and that by 2030 everything will be great, super-duper, stupendous.  Right- because so many strategists can see easily twenty years into the future and predict things with such accuracy...like how securitization and sub-prime mortgages wouldn't blow up or cause any issues.
