Oh lord...the house we're renting has the old mottled gold / brown sculpted carpeting...Jer asked if we could pull it out....lol..I've just overlaid it with my other rugs....the sheetrock is splatter textured and painted semi-gloss...I could go on and on...lol..but what's funny is that we like the neighborhood, it's so quiet and unpretentious...I go to the store and stop and watch the ocean for awhile and I just have nothing in the world to be depressed about, annoyed with or angry at....lol..I keep saying that it must be all the negative ions...I kid you not....even though I don't like the electric stove, I've quit complaining about it.
