All Gone!

Yesterday, marked the first day of our kitchen remodel. Gone are the 3 small rooms that spilled together to form our kitchen/washer/dryer/buffet/dining area. Our contractor said he works fast but I had no idea he could completely rip apart cabinets, and tear down walls in one day! I told the foreman last night that I just couldn't believe all the work they had done! Besides firming up our design and buying all of our new appliances, we have picked out our cabinet style (white shaker) and a grey-black floor tile. Today is electrical day. So all of our lights and outlets will be installed when we go home tonight. While they are there we are having them install two recessed lights in our living room to shine on the Hawaii bamboo forrest picture. It's very exciting to see our home change once again, as I believe this is now the second remodeling since the house was built in 1939. Here is a picture of what our new kitchen area looks like as of last night. There is so much space I can't hardly believe it!
We have our make shift kitchen set up in our dining room. We did a ton of laundry and made some dishes (probably not as many as we should have). It feels like we are camping out in the living room as that is where we spend all of our time now. The doors to the backyard are cut off so it makes taking Moses out a little difficult but so far its an adventure. An expensive adventure but hey, that is why we work hard in life to enjoy nice things. Hopefully, my nice kitchen is just around the corner!

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Everyone is Having Kids

Yesterday, one of my roommates from the Burbank years gave birth to a little girl. This is her third child. While I am so completely happy for her this happy celebration has gotten me thinking about children and nosey people who ask me when I am going to have them. Some might think this subject is it too personal for blog talk but I figure if people want to bud into my business by asking me about kids then I can bud into yours by talking about them. I realize that I am physically old enough to have kids but being physically old enough isn't enough for me. Today, as I looked at my friend's blog describing her birthing experience, I realized the only reason I am thinking about children so much lately is because so many darn people are asking me about them. Every single friggin day I run into "Patty" at work. I have known her for a very long time and while I know she was super happy for me when I got married, I am so not happy about her enthusiasm about me having bab...
