12 Steps To Living in An "Older" Home

The four stages of me and home improvement:

1) The Girl Power Stage-Look at me! I'm pulling up floor! I don't need a man for anything!

2) The Not As Cool As I First Thought Stage-I have broken most of my nails and i am developing an unpleasant odor stage.

3) Anger At Myself Or Anyone Who Is Near Me-When my window guy tried to rally me with encouraging words and compliments I informed him that i didn't want his respect, I wanted his pity so that I could go lie down in my bed with lemonade and have him finish the job.

4) Calls to my husband informing him that we are leaving the house to squatters and rodents and moving into a shiny new condo.
