The kitchen renovation was slated to begin at 11:00 this morning. Yesterday, I frantically cleaned out all the bottom cupboards and removed things from the countertops, pausing only to wonder when I bought Gorilla Munch, as its best before date was over a year ago. All items are now in big Rubbermaid containers and/or on […]

A Whirlwind of Boring Activity

I have been in a whirlwind of activity the past few days. A whirlwind, I tell you! Since Friday I have had more errands and social outings than I probably do in two weeks. I would describe them in detail but I fear that may be boring, and I fear it may also be less […]

Not just because it’s raining so hard that I think soccer practice MAY be cancelled for tonight (I hope). Not just because of the […]
