There's a strange man upstairs in my house

Mr. Plumber is upstairs trying to fix our shower. The $2,000 worth of new pipes in our basement didn't seem to do the job a year and a half ago, so we'll see what tricks this dude has up his plumber's sleeves. Or butt.

I am an obsessed HGTV fan and have been lately watching Designed To Sell constantly. Since we will soon have our home on the market, I have been trying to glean every last bit of magical information I can from those plucky designers. One day a few weeks ago I even decided that we needed to be on the show. After making my online application sound like we were "fun" "DIY" types of people, I sent it off and waited for three whole days. The coveted email came back enquiring after photos of our house and our family, as they were "very interested" in having us progress to the second level!

Alas, I guess we simply weren't beautiful enough for telemuhbision because I have heard nothing further.

It's a good thing I really am an "energetic" "DIY er". I have created my own personal before and after campaign that I like to call, "Designed To Smell". I will be posting before and after photos, well, after. Also hopefully I'll be able to lay off putting everything in quotes pretty soon.
