1. The cabinets are arriving today on 2 pallets via truck. How are G and I going to manage bringing them into the house? Brute strength? Tae Bo? Telekinesis?
2. Please don’t rain today, sky.
3. We need to finish setting up a Dexter-esque kill room in the basement to spray/stain the cabinets. I have never said the phrase “kill room” out loud before yesterday.
4. The kill room – ok, let’s change the vernacular – the spray room will be draped in plastic, and have 2 tables set up for the separate cabinet components. We need flood lights, and a hook hanging from the ceiling for the spray nozzle tubing thingy to stay out of the way. Ok, this totally sounds like a kill room.
5. I can’t believe Jennifer Love Hewitt is dating Ben the wine dude from The Bachelorette. Really, Ben? Really?
6. We need to get a sample piece of quarter sawn oak to test out dye/stain/poly combinations before we start staining the real thing. We want the same look as the wainscoting in the living room, but we’re worried about using the General Finish gel stain (because it’s going to take forever to wipe it on). But there may be no way around it.
7. This cabinet delivery is a big deal. We haven’t had kitchen cabinets since November. Or October? I don’t know. It was 2010. I can’t even remember who the Bachelorette/Bachelor was back then.


No, say it ain’t so! JLo Hew and Ben? It’s sad when a bachelorette as boring as Ashley seems like a step up from a former celebrity.
I’m excited for you and your cabinets. And your kill room. Did I ever tell you my boyfriend keeps his leather murderer gloves on his nightstand? He doesn’t understand why this makes me nervous.
I am totally confused by the murderer gloves on the nightstand! Does he leave in the middle of the night? Are there unsolved crimes in your neighborhood? I need answers from your boyfriend.
I secretly think JLove is angling to be the next Bachelorette.
What? Jennifer Love Hewitt is dating the cutest, most loveable Bachelorette contestant ever? My mind has been blown. I no longer believe that God is a woman …
Good luck with the cabinets!
Why have we not talked about Ben the wine dude before? I should have been blogging about this way sooner.
NO BEN NO! Seriously? I have issues with that show now. Didn’t she just break up with her fiance guy like not that long ago? I am losing track of time so it seriously could have been yesterday or ten years ago. My knowledge of celebs is now limited to my quarterly highlight appointments at the hairdresser so I need to know more. TIme for some internet research on this.

I ran across your blog today and you guys are doing a fantastic job on your house. I cannot believe how many months you’ve lived without a kitchen; I’ll bet it’s getting old. I’m looking forward to the photos after you get your cabinets installed!
