Excited about dirt..WHO KNEW?!
These are pics of my current lot area. The first pic is of where the townhouses across the street should be. The second pic and third pics are where my block of village homes should be. This seems to be all they've done so far, but hopefully by November, my pictures will be a lot more exciting. Either way, I've never been so happy to take pictures of dirt or sewers in my life! lol...
More Shopping!!
So I went to HomeSense today and fell in love with this cabinet!! So I bought it because I've promised myself that I will only spend money on things that I LOVE! So...this is going to be my new cabinet for my master bathroom. I also bought a few knick knacks along the way including $7 for a set of 4 martini glasses. YAY ME!! I keep getting excited over littlest house stuff...but it's MY house stuff..lol.

My kitchen
This is an idea of what my kitchen cabinets will look like. This is actually a picture of the Brentland model in Kanata, and then after I chose my cabinets, I realized they were the same ones. I guess the gentle powers of model home persuasion are stronger than I thought!! In any case, I think it looks very nice and I'm even happier seeing it on a grand scale now.

Waiting....and SHOPPING!!
So I had a bit of a shopping spree yesterday and among my purchases was this folding shelf from Pier 1. It'll be great for parties and such because space might be a little limitied so people.... say hello to my new fold-out bar (the little one..not the big one...don't judge me...lol!!!) 
lol..I find it amusing that I do not have my house, I do not have a sofa, I do not have appliances....BUT I have somewhere to stash my alcohol!! Guess MY priorities are straight! =D
I also went to Linen Chest where they were having a really good deal on glasses. An 18-pc set for 10 bucks!! So I scooped up two of those in a jiffy and of course, I can't go to Linen chest without a stop at Ikea a.k.a Blue and Yellow Heaven. I found a lot of things there that I liked, which is something that always happens. I got some plate sets that were a pretty good deal, and a few little odds and ends for my bathrooms. I also got this TV stand that I wanted priced out to give me a better idea of what I'll be spending once closing comes along. This feels good spending money on house things! And I figure since it's actually for the house and not some kind of personal blow out, I'm not ruining my budget cause this was my plan all along. Buy the small things bit by bit during the waiting period so that once I move in, it's not a lot of money all at once...yes...that was and is the plan...I also want to say that denial is a very POWERFUL thing...lol!!
Well on the actual house front, my Customer Care Coordinator told me that as it stands now, there are no black or green boxes on my property, which is a big relief because I REALLY didn't want any of those. I don't have a lot of room as it is so I didn't want it marred by a big metal box. I was also told that, as of now my house is still proceeding as scheduled which means construction should be beginning next month!!!!!! After all this time, construction is only mere WEEKS away!! Craziness! OH the excitement! I cannot WAIT! I also managed to virtually meet more of my neighbours and everyone seems so nice and cool! I have a feeling that our block is going to be a kick ass block for sure!
