Special assistance needed at the blah blah blah...

The blah, blah, blah... I think I've spent way too much time at Lowes in the past two weeks... Now their announcement thing has become a part of my daily speech... Special assistance needed on blogger.com, blogger.com... AAAAAAAAAHHHH - help me!!!! I feel like I am trying to kick start the economy all by myself.

I will spend the vast majority of my free time after next weekend in my kitchen. I had my bathroom remodeled two years ago, now it's the kitchen's turn. My kitchen looks like absolute crap. There is nothing modern about it, so now with the assistance of many kind people; I have cabinets and countertop on order, a sink in transit and flooring on order. Paint has been selected and wallpaper is slowly being removed.

I've learned quite a bit about woodgrains, door designs, cabinet design, paint selection etc. Words like Kraftmaid, Congoleum and acrylic have been tossed around like children's names. Colors to me right now are Praline (cabinet stain), bone (sink), Cotta Stone (countertop), Durango (floor) and Broomstick. Then, there are the accessories - sink faucet (Price Pfister Treviso) and ceiling fan (can't remember what it's called at the moment, but it's not been purchased yet either.) It was fun though to walk out of there the other night and say, "hey I bought everything AND the kitchen sink..."

I promise to try to share pictures once the project gets rolling more. Right now all I have is pictures of my ugly kitchen. It will be more fun to show you works in progress and the final project. Meanwhile, I'm trying to resolve my Jeep's Engine light issue still and trying to plan stuff for my bike race next weekend.

Oh dear. Renovations are hard work. Many sympathies, particularly because as the weather warms I know you'd rather be biking!
