Out with the Old

 I am thinking of doing away with the gold (Danish Pine).  I had this painted five years ago and I am getting tired of it.
Hoping to do something more neutral.  This is Sherwin Williams Studio Taupe.  It looks gray here, but it really isn't. 

What I REALLY want to do is have our kitchen cabinets painted white and then glazed, BUT it will be $2200 at the least.

In other news..............

I had to take Kristen the cat to the vet Monday and it was VERY STRESSFUL!!!!  Just plain awful.  Trying to get her in the carrier is dreadful.  She kept hopping out of my reach.  I trapped her in the bathroom and got her in the crate.  Then she tried to kill the clinic staff.  They wrapped her in the armored blanket and she was making sounds that made me jump.  The loudest cat screams you have ever heard.  I take her to a clinic in a town about 30 minutes away.  They only see cats and the vet there has a degree in felines and feline geriatrics.  She is very smart and knows Kristen's history.  The past few times I have taken Kristen she always says,  "there are very good vets in your town that could treat Kristen.  I hate that you have to drive this far."  Monday she gave me the name of a few Drs in my town.  HA!  Is that a nice way of saying  NEVER BRING HER HERE AGAIN?  HAHAHA!!!!  I keep on taking her.

Kristen stunts of the week:  She  NEVER plays with a toy.  BUT, I threw an old razor out of the shower yesterday and of course she runs up to it, attacks it and BITES it.  I think she is fine.  I don't think it cut her.

We bought our house a year ago and have been painting every inch, ceiling to floor, including cabinets and doors. It's a pain....and we're probably moving this summer. {sigh} Everything was brown, so I chose gray for the walls and seriously, who know there were so many undertones!?

I love your cat stories!! :)

How old is Kristen? My old lady kitty is probably about 14 or 15, and she is soo lazy. She used to be sooo mean, but age has calmed her down.

we repainted our cabinets back in 2011 with the help of the Rustoleum Cabinet Transformation kit! It worked and our kitchen looked so much bigger after. I am actually itching to repaint the kitchen too.

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
