Just incase you were interested in the progress in the kitchen… This was the view on Monday. There have been some minor changes since then, only for the better… Like the moved the gas line into one of the cabinets, and they moved the plug for the range hood so it would be hidden by the chimney. Other than that, no changes. Tonight the first big change comes… The flooring is being installed today. By next week, everything should be ready to … [Read more...]
What is it about Desperate Housewives that I just don’t get?

Ok, so I’m sitting here watching the Golden Globes. Really I’m just watching to see glimpses of Heath Ledger, but you know. Anyway, I was really surprised that Desperate Housewives beat out My Name is Earl. Have you seen My Name is Earl? Damn, that is one funny show. And not only is it funny, you get a douse of good karma every time you watch. It has meaning. It’s good, in a good way. Then there is Desperate Housewives. I’ve seen it once. I just didn’t get it. I … [Read more...]

So last night, Jessica and I continued on our weekly happy hour trend, only this time we went to Paragon Restaurant instead of Scott’s Seafood. I didn’t think I was going to drink, but then Jessica said, of course you are going to drink. So, we scanned the bar drinks menu for something really light weight. Then we found it. A cooler made with fresh lemonade and raspberry infused vodka. The bartender made it pretty weak. What was cool was that I really couldn’t taste much … [Read more...]

Here was my kitchen on Sunday night. Notice, Daisy has to be in the middle of all I do. She set this shot up. This was my kitchen yesterday. Daisy is visiting neighbours at my old house while work is being done in the kitchen. She gets entirely too nervous. This is my kitchen today. Still missing Daisy… The house is lonely without her. Good thing I have a fridge in the dining room and a microwave in the living room. I’ve been told … [Read more...]

1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? I love to knit with wool. Then, wool blends, alpaca, mohair, and the like. I even own camel and quivet. I don’t avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand, but normally, they just aren’t what I’m knitting with. 2. Do you spin? Crochet? Nope and nope. I’d like to learn to crochet. I’m not too sure about spinning. 3. What do you use to store your needles/hooks … [Read more...]

I’ve had this little weekend project since last September, new bathroom fixtures… Not that I’ve had a ton of weekend time to work on it, but I’ve had it. For Christmas, my Aunt came down from Davis to help out around the house. She offered to help me get my project going. We put together the base cabinet, and then I went and started the plumbing. Hmm. Things didn’t go as we planned. The plumbing fell apart in my hands. A very small set back. A plumber was called, … [Read more...]
