hmm. not so good al...

well, i have bad news and more bad news... i am still waiting for my vpn login... so, i went to the dmv and found out i needed a certified copy of my title from capital one. estimated wait time, 3-4 weeks. and i need a letter of permission from the lein holder to register my car in NY. also from capital one, estimated wait time a week or two. and then i need some sort of barcode on my insurance from liberty mutual which i think i have, but it can't be more then 45 days old. i got it a few weeks ago i think, and by the time capital one sends me my stuff, it will surely be more then 45 days old. grrrr... car registration sucks! the good news is that magoo(mike) can do this when i get all the correct papers..

the 2nd bad news is the sink faucet changing isn't as easy as it seemed.. we took the sink out of the counter and realized that we were going to need a new faucet. apparently 10 years of a drippy faucet will erode the hardware on the sink, and even ruin the floor of the cabinet underneath. so we go to home depot (2nd time in 3 days). almost $200 later we have a cute new faucet and a soap dispenser. so as we are installing the faucet into the 70+ lb sink, the garbage disposal breaks off the under part of the sink. doesn't look permanent.. things get a little stressful, and we decide to take a break. while i am showering mike gets the thing working, we check it out, nothing is leaking, its all good... phew!!! about an hour later while mike and i are at the store one of the flexible faucet feed breaks and hot water is shooting out all over cathy in the kitchen.. its also draining into the basement. emergency trip to ace hardware is in order. it seems like now everything is in place and working.. the only thing left to do is seal the sink back onto the counter.

here are some pics..
