tell them to take it back- threaten them with the better business bureau if you have to. my parents had a similar thing happen with their quartz countertops...after paying $40K in upgrades to their brand new luxury home, the seams on the install were a mess. I kept threatening the builder...(small claims court, BBB, Ontario TARION home warranty- you name it, i did it) until they finally came back and replaced the countertops. it was the biggest pain in the butt ever. but it made my parents so much happier. we also made the builder come back and retile an entire side of the bathroom wall. sometimes you wonder if it's worth the aggravation. but think about it- you're looking at that thing for the rest of your life (or, er, however long you're there)...

Not sure what your experience was with the Dyson. But I got that exact model for christmas- for my 2 bedroom condo and I LOVE it. I had a monster before, and this one is just as powerful- and so light. I dont' ever sweep anymore- just switch the floor attachment- and I'm off.

my big food one was that no more buying lunch...i live in a smaller city- and even though i work in the "heart" of "downtown". lol. there's not a ton of healthy food choices...and it wastes so much money, etc etc... so far, so good. but it's still a struggle some nights to force myself to pack my lunch for the next day...

my tip is this- use a song you love to wake you up...less jarring. most of the time i actually want to listen to the song- and will lay there for 30s ...waking up to an actually ringing or some other harsh tones makes me so angry.

great way to use leftover roast fall veggies...pound a chicken (or turkey) breast out thin...smear with goat cheese, fill with veggies...wrap it up and grill or bake...perfect meal. Make the Most of Any Fall Vegetable: 5 Essential Staples Flag this comment	10/4/11 3:24 PM
i second the comment about knowing how much time and resources you have to do upgrades...it's good to see the potential...but it's also good to be realistic about what you can live with until you have the time and funds to devote to a project.

definitely Hainanese Chicken Rice...it's not even nostalgia (i'm from south america!).... i just love it. it's filling. comforting...i could probably eat it every day and STILL want it as my last meal. good thing I have never learned to make it.

because they are so lean- i like to brine my pork chops...1/2 cup coarse sea salt, 1/2 sugar (i like brown)...i boil them in a couple of quarts of water- and add some aromatics (orange peels, cloves, bay leaves). make sure you cool off the brining liquid- then add your pork chops and leave over night...if you get tired of regular pork chops- just chop them up and make kabobs...slice really thin and make korean bbq.
