Please be spring....

I cannot tell you how ready I am for spring.  I am just about going crazy.  I look at my yard and see all kinds of green fingers coming up, but it is to wet to go out and do anything! 

I have all my little veg starts and seeds just chanting my name... Sarah Sarah Sarah.... please put us in the ground!!! 

Poor babies.  Poor Sarah.  I hate this cold rainy weather.  But, I fear, that between the impending floor install, and the work that needs to be done between today and then... May 7... I may need to neglect my babies just a tad.

That's right.  Floor install.  We are finally doing something with our house.  I am super excited, and scared all at the same time.  We had carpet installed, and it looks wonderful.  Now the laminate floors are next.  But before we put those in, we need to rip up the old floor, rip out the baseboards, paint the entire house (or at least 5/8 of it... which would be easier to paint the whole darn thing, oh and did I mention the kitchen????

Well, let me tell you about my kitchen, I will post a picture later of the before and after.. you will get a kick out of it.

We have tons of cabinets that need to be repainted.  TONS!  We cant get them refaced, too expensive.  We cant get new ones, although cheaper than refacing (can you believe it) it is still more than we want to spend.  So, we are going to repaint them. 

Now anyone who is in wedded bliss like myself knows that one of the two of you are procrastinators!  Yes I said it out loud.. and its not me!  So I have someone coming to give an estimate on refinishing them.  All 36 of them not counting the boxes or the drawers. 

Even if we just have them stripped down and we paint them (oh my lord did I just say that?)  it has to be easier than us killing each other trying to get it done "our way" or should I say "the right way according to [insert name here]".

Oh well, I guess we will see what the cabinet guy says....wish us luck.
