Getting not quite so scary....

I had a very long talk with a gentleman in Amish country that is giving me a bid on my kitchen cabinets. What a treat!!!! He was funny, knowledgable, had some great suggestions, and really understood what I want to see in my kitchen. I am excited to see the bid. He will call Monday evening with it. I am sooooo hoping it will be substantially less than the stock cabinets I had priced out at one of the "Evil Empire" big home improvement stores. I would love to have a handcrafted kitchen....Mo is jealous. hee hee

They (the Amish furniture makers) are having an open house mid-September...I am going!! I want to see where the stuff gets made and meet the two craftsmen I have talked to in person. And where better to spend a weekend than in Amish country!! Absolutely beautiful.

I have not heard back from the Contractor yet. I hope it isn't going to make me change the project because it is too expensive. I would love to have the kitchen I designed (with lots of help from M&M) for the last 8 years I live in this house.

I spent the day yesterday in the closet.......man o' maneschevitz, did I get ruthless!! 5 big bags of clothing to Goodwill, 3 bags of goodies for Mich, and 4 huge bags of crap to the curb. I got all 10 boxes of salt&peppers on the top shelf in my closet. Whew. I now have plenty of room for the artwork that will be stored in there during the kitchen redo. And I actually have a space for my luggage set. Imagine that. And, yes, Alex, I wore my Darth Vader mask the whole time and feel just peachy today!! See...I can learn new tricks!!

I just got back from Wally World....and I am so tickled. I bought 2 new pair of jeans...A WHOLE SIZE SMALLER!!!! AND THEY FIT!!! Charging on with the diet. Just had a huge salad for breakfast.....

Gotta go start laundry and start working on the back bedroom...more storage for the redo.
