Thanks Lacey. Sorry you had to see a doctor again, but at least no one's in the hospital.I have my fingers crossed for you guys.

I have been looking at bathroom materials and wanting to do some more things, as Mr. Recession stopped my bathroom and kitchen projects in their tracks. The pipe and leaks have forced part of the project into action.

I am replacing a sink that has always been too big for the space (I live in my home where I grew up). Home Depot does have some pretty medicine cabinets -- I saw them while I was looking at the sinks. After looking at Home Depot, Lowes and a bathroom place, I decided on Lowe's. I am saving a teeny tad of money. The sink I ordered has towel racks on the sides, blends into the 50s bathroom well and gives me a few more inches of space. Yeah for the space! This is a darling bathroom but every inch counts. The delivery date on the sink is March 28. This is good, because I have to clear space in the room behind the bathroom. Better to go in through a plaster wall than the original bathroom tile. I also have the new faucet purchased

I am holding off on the medicine cabinet. I'm happy right now with the current cabinet but do want some different lights. I've been looking at these off and on but haven't made up my mind yet. What I remember when I was a kid are the strips on the side.

Good luck with your project!
I like ur idea about space. I have a small master suite bathroom and I was thinking about doing that bathroom over again too with just a sink. The problem is I would need new tile because the one I have in there not has been discontinued or I could just maybe get something that blends. For the big bathroom I am special ordered the dual vanity from Lowes I went with the antique white that stands on legs. I know this is off topic, but it is good news to find a friend in the same boat. My house is not worth the money I am putting into it since the market is so poor, but what do u do a home is more than just a financial investment. I was just thinking how stuck I am as far as selling goes. I could not break even, so selling would be pointless. We'll have to talk some more about this

Wonderful!This sounds like fun -- how is your social organized? Is it through a club or organization?

I live in a gated 55+ community. They plan all sorts of neat stuff for the residents, including Sat. morning coffee socials. For $1, you get coffee and a donut or bagel, they have announcements telling you everything that's going on, sell tickets to different events and even have a 50/50 raffle (where I won the $20) as well as a "Come and Get It" drawing. That's where they have a bucket with every owner's name in it. If they call your name and you're there, you win the pot. If you're not, they add $5 to the prize for the following week. It's up to $300 right now. So I don't miss a single coffee!

I spent the day with Mrs Aks shopping, having lunch together, and trying to find a new book we want. The day went quickly and we enjoyed just being out together.

I am hopeful and ready to stop pining over the one that didn't happen- even though it stings a little.
