Extreme Home Makeover: Testosterhome edition

This past weekend, Todd went to Norman, Oklahoma to reunite with all of his Moscow summer project buddies. While he was away, I decided to completely reorganize our bedroom. The following is the process of Extreme Home Makeover: Testosterhome edition.

Before:









Desk area: cluttered, inefficient, slight tone of hoarding associated with it.


















South wall: Messy, cramped, inefficient use of space.










 



East wall: not such a bad place for the beds, or so I thought...










The Process:



1. Removal of the plywood desk.




















Step 2: Putting in a desk for Todd. I have decided to eliminate my need for a desk and have opted for piano space instead. 
 



















Step 3: Moving the piano and drawers over to the new desk space.




















Step 4: Moving the beds to the  south side of the room.
















Step 5: Drum set..Ohhhhhh yeah!





















The Big Reveal:

Leading the poor family (Todd) to see his new home!




















HE WAS ECSTATIC!!!!!!





















It's ok to feel inferior to me. I doubt your Saturday was as NEARLY as productive as mine. My next post will be about Heather Hill because she bribed me with hot tamales. Peace out nation.

The Road to a Rockin Bod

November 1, 2010 brings new goals, new dreams, new ideas, and the start of big beards. I don't know why my brain operates this way, but I am only able to start something new at a definitive beginning such as the beginning of a month, beginning of a week, etc..Well on  October 31, Todd (my roommate for those of you who don't know) and I decided that we will start to start eating healthier and working out consistently in hopes of losing some weight and turning our kegs into 6-packs. Can I get an amen?! Naturally, we began on November 1, and already I am beginning to see why I have failed at this so many times in the past, I didn't have a person to go through with me through this ordeal. Having Todd suffer with me as we pedal away on our stationary bikes and eat green stuff motivates me to continue on our path from lookin' good to lookin' GOOD.

A week into it now and I've already broken through my craving for fast food and successfully curbed my consumption of dr. pepper. It's a long and arduous journey, but by the end of it we will go from looking like this:


To this:



I tend to exaggerate a bit, but you get the point. As we continue on this trek, please offer any prayers and do not tempt us with delicious double cheeseburgers or tantalizing cups of Dr. Pepper, or I may have to punch you in the face. That is all. Sorry it took me so long to put another blog out, but you can't rush perfection right?
