Saturday and Sunday

I'm playing catch up. I wanted everyone to know how productive I was this weekend after my Tuesday binge. On Sat.7th a guy I work with delivered and installed a cabinet he made for my kitchen. In 1988 most houses built had a desk in the kitchen. It was part of a "total woman" thing. You can work, cook and clean all at the same time. See how efficient you are? Whatever, they are a "catch all" and useless as tits on a bull. I hated it. I wanted it changed into a cabinet so I could put big stuff in there. Like my "Set it and forget" oven and my 55 gallon stock pot for soup & spaghetti sauce.
So Jim delivers this cabinet and it is wonderful!

See!!!
But all last week my kitchen was a total disaster. I had to stain the cabinet to match the drawers. Jim took the drawers out of desk and re-used in cabinet. That took all weekend to do letting it dry between stainings etc. Look at the pic do you think it matches? So this Saturday, 14th I decided I was going to finally get in there and start rearranging cabinets and getting things put away and cleaned up properly. I hate a messy/dirty kitchen.
I started in the kitchen, then I noticed that #1 g-sons toy box sitting in the den/bar area was too full and stuff was falling out so I started putting things away and the next thing you know its 4p I haven't had a shower, combed my hair, brushed my teeth and I'm still in my jammy-T. BUT, I have cleaned, two closets, three toy boxes and re-arranged a whole kitchen & started dinner!
Wait there's more:
Sunday I get up at 6a coffee and newspaper decide I need to go to Lowes. I love Lowes. I have a Rock City bird House and a Florida State bird house that we have had sitting in 6 different garages during the last 18 years of marriage. I wanted them put up. I go to Lowes and buy 2 4x4x8 posts, 8 "L" brackets and 46 12" rocks for garden edging. I will take pics but its 515A and I don't want neighbors to call "Kat" to come get me, I might end up as a post! LOL Anyway, husband put up bird house in backyard, they are beautiful. I planted my 2 huge Sago palms in front garden, dug a small trench to lay garden rock around front garden and it looks beautiful. Neighbors came over, we sat in driveway drinking 4-5 beers. Neighbor lady invited me to get a pedicure with her which sounded wonderful after working outside in mud all day. While I'm getting that done husband made the best damn burgers on the grill. Hmmmmmmm Then since yesterday was National Ice Cream Day we went to the Stone cold Creamery with the neighbors to celebrate. Been a helluva week and weekend but That was a perfect way to end the week and start a new one. Now I have to start getting ready for work. Bi-polar is on vacation so life is gonna be good!

Thats a fine looking cabinet you have there...

Since you mentioned it..I have a funny to tell you..LOL. When I worked a 24 hour BLS truck (torture) We were at a station directly across from this old woman that was the biggest bitch ever. She would put things in her driveway to keep us from being able to back up etc...if any employee parked anywhere near her property she would block your car in and call a tow truck..she would even put brush down in the drive way...orange cones...you name it. Her yard looked like a jungle..one of every kind of plant and tree and flower imaginable...to the ridiculous stages. Anyway...we were out all hours of the day and night and it never failed..this woman NEVER slept...rain, snow or shine...or 3am...she was out in that yard doing shit...I wasn't sure how crazy she was....always pulling out dead stuff and burning little brush piles every where...until I realized this psycho had filled an entire below ground pool with DIRT..thats right..filled it full..and had weeds and stuff growing out of it and benches around it so she could watch the mess grow...I used to pray she'd call for an ambulance..I was going to drive straight thru her fence and into her yard and swear I lost my brakes trying to dodge an orange cone!! But she never called dammit...

Now, can you come to my house and clean and re-organize?? Pretty please???

G-mom said...

Ok, Kat I won't CALL, promise!!
Heather: Once I re-organize you would never, ever be allowed to touch it! LOL Just the other day I told the husband "Why didn't you put the coffee cup mat back straight, see its all crooked looking"?
Do you still want me to re-organize? LOL
