Guess who's bat... I mean back

 Seriously. Sigh.  

My brother was in town visiting for his friend Renee's wedding. Alok was walking the dogs when he saw a bat flying inside through our front window! While I'm not amused by the bat, having my brother from NYC carry part of a Tupperware container and a tennis racket to defend against the bat was slightly amusing: 

Here is a blurry, not amused Alok afterwards, who may have decided that he wanted to move.

That's all for now.

We're here.....kinda

Some day in 2013.... I have no clue when we did these things.  I blame the baby who is nearly 11 months old and doesn't sleep for more than 2 consecutive hours for my lack of orientation to time and the lack of work on the house.  That being said, we have made some progress.

First things first, upon moving in, we had the lovely cabinet pictured here, although it was next to the fridge:





The previous owners had 2 things in it: a fly swatter and a picture of George W Bush (you know, the essentials).  Alok decided to clear it out and make it into a spice cabinet. 

Here it is before (and our lovely area that was full of spices in the kitchen):

Here it is after:

Pretty nice.

Alok also had the idea to have drywallers patch up every nick in the walls after they were painted.  Needless to say, he regretted that decision (and it may not have gone over well with me either). He finally got motivation to paint these places (here is a sampling) 

And here he is at work:
 

Creepy!

 

Needless to say, this is something he dreaded for about a year and took under 30 minutes to fix all walls.  We also had the outside painting finished, but more to come on that when I don't have a screaming baby....
