Ohhhhh, Gracie.........
We do go back a long way around this joint...do we not?
And now, here you are, the attendance officer!!!!!! Oh my! (Yes! I know! I know! I once skipped school and went all the way to downtown Cincinnati and spent the day there doing important stuff that involved my hair! But Gracie! It was the 60's! There is a whole story that goes with that skip day! But now, I am having a flashback! My past is here to haunt me! Oh My! Oh My! Oh My!)
So, here's my excuse....
Dear Attendance Officer, Mrs. Gracie,
1. Well, first of all, I had made a New Year's resolution to not turn on the computer in the morning because I get way too sidetracked. That resolution lasted as long as the diet one. But the plan was to not look at TOTV until late afternoon or early evening. Well, that did not work. But there still might be hope for that one. As long as I do not post after midnight when I get way too sleepy and who knows what I might write.
2. And here is the main problem.....I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel. I have no appliances. The refrigerator is in the basement. But everything else is gone. But the coffee pot is sitting on the hearth and the milk is on the step in the garage.
We are living on sandwiches and cereal and ordering delivery and going out and I am so tired of that and I am completely immersed in details and telephone calls.
I am sleeping with my cabinet installer so he is doing fine. He planes those cabinets until that counter top will be an el-perfect fit. And that man sure can miter. (Is it midnight already???)
And the granite guy has been here to make the template. And the sink will soon be in. (Cast iron, Kohler, Smart-Divide.)
And then I got Talk Host to show me his drawers the other day so I could get a handle on his handles. And now my handles are ordered. So that part is done.
And my house is a mess with the stuff of the kitchen everywhere, waiting for the new place to be. And I must sort it and ask myself, "Do I really need this weird kitchen utensil that I do not even know what it is?"
And the coffee pot just started to leak....but that is a bonus actually because I wanted a stainless one anyway and there is a coupon from Bed, Bath and Whatever.
And, btw, I really like those xenon lights under the cabinets. They give a wonderful glow and actually cast a serious amount of light. I like enough light in a kitchen to be able to perform an emergency appendectomy on the counter top, in case a dinner guest might need one. (This is sometimes a problem because I am not a doctor, but hey, the lighting is good, at least.)
And who knew about this Xenon stuff? I like it, but I had always thought it was the name of Xena Warrior Princess' boyfriend or something.
And that, Gracie, is where I have been.
And there is more to the story.
But I must get back to work.....
And I do not know if it is 'counter top' or 'countertop' but I just do not care anymore....
