I'm down 10lbs.

Between being sick and swimming and trying to keep the calories to 1000 or a a bit above 1500 I surprised myself on the scale before my swim with suit and croc's on at being down that much. Before that it was 1 lb.

Swam this morning but yesterday I bagged it to sleep in. Last night I met this this real cool surfer boy from Kitchen Works who wants to redo my kitchen for 30k.

I think I can go less than that but it's been interesting and yesterday I met with another contractor who I assume will come in lower. I forgot to tell him the bar needs to be done too or does it?

Today the last kitchen person comes then on Thursday my original pantry maker comes to tell me about the rest. Essentially now that my learning curve is higher.
I need to hit the Expo center. Pick out counter tops. I tend to go with the white maybe a little speckle granite like but stronger. Then red oak cabinets. I found out my pantry is veneer. Looks fine to me. I need the lights and electric done and double opens, a sink, garbage disposal and faucet. I may move the cabinet over the refrigerator out too. Only one outlet needs to be added because my range top is electronic. Who needs it?

A lot. I'm glad I did the floor, windows and the other appliances.

It costs more but it's a lot easier and less hassle to let someone else take care of it.


I have a large galley kitchen and the top is a T and the bottom is a eating area for a table. The family room is attached on the other side of the kitchen counter cooktop. My dining room is on the other side of the eating area thru a door.

It's another warm day. There was a fight on campus and the hormones are raging in teenagers.

I'm running a bookmark contest.

The designer today quoted lower and had a harder push. I liked him the least. He agreed to meet any quote and lower by 25.00.
