Kitchen Craziness

I was too exhausted yesterday to post to my blog. I have potentially beautiful terrazo floors. They need to be professionally stripped and sealed but since that would cost me at least 3 grand I’ll be having them UN-professionally done…..by me!  The first step is to make sure the floor is super clean so I spent a lot of time scrubbing the kitchen floor (after I moved everything out of the kitchen and into the living room).  Sweeping, mopping and scrubbing is a GREAT workout! You know how when you start a project it can grow into something much bigger? Well, refinishing the kitchen floors has turned into painting all the kitchen cabinets, replacing the drawer pulls, kitchen sink and maybe having a new wall oven installed (mine is 50 years old). Hey, I just realized my oven is 6 years older than I am ….mmmhh, no one should have an appliance that old. I can’t believe it still works!!!!  After all the work I finished yesterday I felt wonderfully exhausted. I was productive. I had a project to focus on and for the first time in weeks I looked forward to the next day.

Today, I got together with my best friend….the one I previously mentioned I was (unjustifiably) mad at for losing weight while I remained FAT and unmotivated….we had a wonderful time shopping and having lunch.  We also made it to Home depot where I bought paint (and painting supplies) for the kitchen cabinets. I can’t wait to get started tomorrow!!! 

My diettogo.com meals are supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I can’t wait to see if they are as delicious as I’ve heard.
