Getting Closer

Ok, worked on my kitchen today. It's getting closer! Think it's actually starting to look like a kitchen. Not all the doors are on and the skins for the cabinets will be put on just before the countertops go on.

Kitchen Update

OK, last night I put the bottom half kitchen cabinets in just to see what it is going to look like. Getting excited for it to be done. All the cabinets will be the same height. It doesn't show that in the pictures because I don't have the legs on some of them. Also, the cabinet that is not even with the other ones will move forward a bit but the drain pipe for the kitchen sink in in the floor and I didn't feel like cutting a hole for that quite yet. So, here is the preview. Going to put the upper cabinets in the weekend and hook up the kitchen sink. It has been hell living without a kitchen sink for about a week now.

Go Diamondbacks! Oooops, it didn't work.

My friend Dan and I went to the 2nd game of The Diamondbacks/Rockies. The seats were great about 8 rows from the field! It was a fun time but the Diamondbacks lost.

This made me think!

Ok, this was just a funny pic, I won't say why. I was looking through pictures on the internet and this made me laugh until I started to cry.

Slowly but Surely

Ok, it's kind of hard to see and not such a good photo, but the wall in the kitchen is done! And, more of the tile has been put down.

Barcelona The WonderDOG!

Ok, I am becoming one of those owner who dresses up their dogs! UGH

Yankee Stadium Was More Than Expected.

Saturday night, Mom and I went to Yankee Stadium to watch the Yanks and the Cleveland Indians play in the ALDS. The Yanks pulled it off with a victory. The seats were great, the weather was perfect and this is what baseball is all about in October. During the 7th inning stretch, a guy (think mr. Roland or something like that) sang God Bless America and he sent chills through my body. It was truly amazing. He was the same guy that sang when the Yanks were in the World Series after 911.

Some days, you get shit on!

While mom was getting some golden weiner, I was getting shit on. NOT FAIR!

Mom got some Cock in New York! (Wish I did, lol)

Yep, mom took it like a woman on a mission! We saw these huge statues and made mom "violate" it. Check out the lady passing bye, she was shocked.

Momma got a new pair (or 3) of shoes!

Well,

I just got back from New York with my mom and we had a great time! It was very full and didn't really have time to do the "tourist" thing but we got a few things in. FI loved all the shows we went to, Legally Blonde, Avenue Q and Hairspray! Think mom was a little freaked out about Avenue Q. For those who haven't seen it, it's a bit politcally incorrect. It was my favorite! We went to the Yankees game and they pulled through for us that night with an 8 to 4 victory! We also took a ride through Central Park but got a raw deal cuz the bike driver had just moved to New York from Turkey 2 weeks prior and didn't really tell us all about the park. He knew about some statues but that's it. He was a nice guy though. I really wanted a hot guy, but he did ok. I was not able to get mom into the spa because of time but I did get her a few pairs of new shoes and she got a pedicure. I was able to get Mom 3 pairs of new shoes that will give her better support. She about croaked that the bill was about $300 but thought it was a good price for good shoes. On the last day we ate at Tavern on the Green. Food was good! I ordered a special cake for Mom for dessert that said "I love you Mom" but they forgot to give it to us after eating. Our waiter came up and offered it to us then. Mom did get a few bites of it in the hotel room but 96% of it went to waste. After eating, we went on a cruise around Manhattan. It was nice but thought it was a bit too long. I was definitely tired 1 hour into it of the 2 hour tour. Glad we were pressed for time and couldn't do the 3 hour tour!

The Dust Rules!

I don't mind all the construction, but the dust is getting out of hand. I feel like I am the Coal Miners Daughter, I mean son. Take a look at The Foo Dog, it's covered in dust. I can dust and the next day, everything is dirty again.
