Kitchen Cure [before]

Today actually starts week one and the first assignment, but I've been gone most of the weekend, so I'm just now taking my before pictures. I restrained myself from cleaning, straightening, or moving anything. This is real. This is how it looks.

Kitchen Cure 2010

I have decided to participate in the Apartment Therapy/The Kitchn Kitchen Cure for Spring 2010. (Yes, that was a whole slew of links...) In an attempt to track my progress and keep myself motivated, I'll be posting pics and progress details here.

If your kitchen is 'sick' or you're just sick of all the junk, you should join me!

Timing is Everything

Yay snow.

Yay spring break.

Boo snow on spring break.

>.<

Work...

There are days that I sit at work staring that comptuer screen and get to the point where I am on the verge of leaving early so I can accomplish something elsewhere and I have to remind myself "if I leave now, that's $15 (etc) that I am forfeiting..." Then I carefully weigh whether the time sitting here is worth the money. Usually I stay. Some days (maybe today in another 30 min or so) I may weigh oppositely and leave...

New Car

Got a "new" car recently. It's not bad ...better than some options. 'Tis a white 1990 Ford Taurus.

This is the license plate that came on the front of it. Not that I have anything against beef, but it has since been removed. :]

Nutmeg

Did you know you can trip out on nutmeg? Interesting.

No. I haven't tried it. I bought a book...
Everything You Wanted To Know About Drug Abuse ...but were afraid to ask*

Apparently, it works well to mix it with orange juice... I won't include all the details here, but it is one of the more interesting things that I have learned so far.

And the poor checkout lady - I wandered around Goodwill for 45ish minutes near closing time and in the end only bought a 53 cent book about drug abuse. I'm sure she thought all sorts of things... :]
