About Me

Trenton, Ohio, United States
I am a big kid in an older body. I refuse to grow "old", although some would say different. I drive too fast, laugh too loud, and annoy the hell out of my boss...hee hee. I love my job! Nontraditional female. I love tools, drove a truck, have a job planning/organizing maintenance of a bottle line for a "major brewer", don't wear makeup or dresses, but I am still a girl.

It's gonna be a knobby kind of day....

Well, I'm up and the sun isn't. Yet. I think I will put the knobs on the cabinets today. They came the other day and I would like to get it done. I need to clean out all the cabinets and put in some nubbley stuff drawer liner stuff in some of them. Mo put it in her pots and pans drawers...good idea. Keeps the noise down...hee hee. My ex used to crab at me when I was putting away dishes and got to the pots and pans...he said it sounded like world war three and the pots were winning. Of course, that meant I was interrupting his television. But no more crouching on the floor and crashing around in the bottom of some base cabinet for me!!!! I have DRAWERS.

I really do like the kitchen and am just itching to get it in service....but can't. No counter tops yet. They are gonna make a big mess setting them and I need to wait till that is done and clean everything one last time...then I can put my house back together and MOVE OUT OF MY ROOM!!! I seem to remember at the beginning of this whole remodel, that I said I liked it in here...cozy I think was the word I used. NOT ANYMORE. I am going nuts stuffed up in here. Oh well, the end is nigh.....just not nigh enough for me. hee hee

I cleaned the floor last weekend and it cleans up sooooooo easy. I am loving this floor more each day. It can really take a beating and comes back to beautiful in a flash. Just mist it with this cleaner and dry mop. Easy as pie. I didn't think all the construction dust, crap, dirt, more crap would come up, but it does. I have one little scratch and that's all. And it is in a place that noone will find. At least I hope they don't.

Well, I suppose I should start the process....get showered, teethbrushed, meds taken, asthma inhalers done, eye drops in, get dressed.....then I can start on the fun stuff. Later.....

My house echoes....

You'd think I was moving. The whole north end of the house is e-m-p-t-y. Well, except for the freezer, fridge and a couple dining room chairs. It echoes real bad. I don't like that. Oh well...gotta have the bad before the good.

What's left of my kitchen stuff is in my closet. Works pretty good. I have big shelves in there and I have Space Bagged a ton of stuff off the shelves and now I have dishes, food items, silverware, etc in my closet.

I went to Lowe's today to look for some GE compact flourescent bulbs that Duke Energy sent coupons out for, not there, went to Home Depot, not there....no one has the damn bulbs!!! What the freaking good are the freaking coupons if the bulbs don't exist!!!!! I am gonna complain. Don't send me cool coupons knowing I can't find the stupid things. Rude...just plain Rude.

I am all installed in my room. Chair, giant footstool, big TV, HD box, red table, toaster oven, toaster and all. It is rather cozy in here. Not uncomfortable at all. I am surprized at how much stuff I got in here! I am amazed I got all the crap out of the family room and the kitchen and into this end of the house. I did discover that I will HAVE to put the fridge in the garage.....it won't fit thru any of the doors down on this end of the house. Dammit. I wanted to keep it in the house. Oh well.

Well, gotta go answer the call of the dryer. Later......
