STOP THE INSANITY!

I just took a carpenter's knife to the middle of my dining room floor.
I cut it straight across.
I felt like such a rebel I had to write about it.

After that moment, I began ripping and tearing all the flooring out of my dining room and kitchen. It was liberating.

Chris walked in and stood there, kinda in a state of shock and asked, "So I guess this is what we're doing today?"

I shrugged and said, "I looked at that filthy, black-and-white, 50's diner floor and thought, 'I don't ever want to mop THAT floor again. Not one more time.' So I decided that instead of mopping it, I would rip it out."

Background: We bought the tile for our dining room/kitchen months ago. I have had the itch to get it done for over a year. But I had to wait until we could pay cash for the tile. After we saved up enough for the tile, I had to wait for a span of time (without major interruption) to get it done. Summer.

Thank God it's summer!
