Kicking Off Kitchen Chaos
Let the madness begin!
Beau has been working on both top floor bathrooms and various other projects including installing new entry doors and a new banister over the last 6 weeks. Now that the bathrooms are complete except for the painting (which Flounder and I will do) it's time to start the kitchen!
We are replacing the cabinets, counters, stove, rearranging the kitchen layout and installing a new over-stove microwave and painting the whole space. It's very exciting and going to be a Big Mess for probably about a month. The demolition will start on Monday, which means Flounder and I will be emptying the kitchen this weekend. I am not really looking forward to storing my kitchen ware and what not in the basement! I know that Signe and anyone else who has undertaken kitchen improvements can feel my pain. But really I am not complaining, just trying to wrap my head around what to expect in the coming weeks. I am just beyond excited about the new, better organized, functional kitchen that we will have once it's done.
The timing couldn't be more perfect since Mi Mama had officially handed me the reins of cooking our family Thanksgiving mean. *sigh* I can't wait to use the new stove!
Speaking of cooking...I am loath to even bring it up here but I feel I must. I am joining Weight Watchers again this weekend. My road to weight loss has been a very rocky one, as you probably know. I have tended to share more of my successes then my set backs in this space, but I can say today that it is painful to me to know how much time I have spent striving toward losing weight and how much time I have wasted backsliding. It's embarrassing. But I have to move forward, so there you go. Weight Watchers worked well for me last time (as long as I stayed focused) until I decided the process was taking too long and upped the ante with a more drastic program. So I am back to this old standby that allows the client to eat real food and hopfully learn the skills needed to keep it off. Please cross your fingers, I will need the good luck!
And with that I will wrap up the last of three blog entries for today. When it rains it pours I guess.
