You read that correct, CSI the hit crime drama, they called and needed my living room carpet for a few gruesome death scenes in a 1/2 way house, seedy casino or maybe even a brothel, it was that bad.
My carpet was so hellicious (the exact opposite of delicious). It was flesh colored, middle of February flesh colored to make it even worse.
Well, 8 years and 4 kids later my living room, where no kidding, we live, was DISGUSTING. So when Brandon agreed that the Prince could not possibly learn to crawl on such filth, we sprang for some new carpet. While at the carpet store I had but 2 requests, 1-Make sure that the carpet was the color of spilt coca cola and 2- look and feel luxurious without spending the kids college fund.
Mission accomplished. The carpet was installed and looks great. While the spilled coke has not been tested, the look and feel is definitely luxurious.
So if you come to my house for a visit, I will no longer meet you outside on my porch, I will invite you in and let you check out my new carpet, I may even let you take your shoes off and walk on it. Pictures coming soon

I'll have to dust off the TV to watch for your old carpet. What channel is CSI on, anyway?
(Getting new carpet sounds easier than vacuuming!)
You lucky girl! I have to admit I am so jealous! No one at my house crawls anymore, so I don't get that excuse, but my carpet was second choice to yours for a few shoots on CSI. (You always win everything!) I am hoping that my carpet - and my house - will somehow spontaneously combust! Know any secrets to making that one happen?!
I'm so excited for you! I wish our carpet was the color of diet coke. I want to come and check it out! Please post pics!
TJ's allergist told me we HAD to replace our carpet and get hardwood floors! I was so excited until Wade said No. I'm so deprived.
Lucky. I need new carpet as well.
Doreen, I am happy for you! There is nothing like clean floors. That is the hardest part about being in a rental - keeping the carpet clean with 3 boys. It is so hard!
I'm jealous! You lucky duck! You deserve it!
Doreen you are HILARIOUS just like I remember. Christie told me about your blog so I had to check it out. Keep in touch
