I'm full of good intentions, just never seem to have much time lately.  But here I am, wide awake at 1:00am, so I'll just blog a little.

I had an appointment with an oral surgeon to have a couple of teeth out.  No big deal, wisdom teeth are ok to lose, they say.  But the pain killer put me to sleep earlier, and I had a nap, and now I'm oh so wide awake.  I need to be up at 6:00 so I'll have to try to sleep soon.  Newsflash:   UH OH.  My oldest daughter just joined me and announced that her stomach is somewhat upset.  Looks like things could get ugly around here.

I'm still promising myself that I'll sort through my pictures and put together a diary of the kitchen remodel.  Most of the cabinets are built and sitting in the kitchen.  They all need to go to the garage to be sanded and painted, but it's probably going to wait until after Christmas.  For now, they're set up in a way that we can make use of them for some things.  I insisted on getting the fridge back in here, and the old sink is still hooked up, as well as the stove.  There's talk of getting something set up with the sink so I can get a dishwasher installed too - wouldn't that make life easier?  My crappy old toaster oven and beat up microwave have joined the party too so we can almost function properly.  Judy says she has a toaster oven I can have if I want it, but I may just go get a new one anyway so I get what I want.  The microwave apparently came under attack or abuse sometime while it was out in the "kitchenette" because now it's hard to open the door on it.  Damn thing is probably at least 10 years old anyway so I guess it's due for replacement too.  Although it still works well......

My huge corner computer desk that was perfect in the unused dining room is no longer so perfect since a good portion of said dining room is now part of the kitchen.  (I don't think I've ever mentioned that the new kitchen is now 20 feet long by I-don't-know-how-wide.)  There was no longer room for it when the peninsula was dry-fitted so I have temporarily brought back my tiny desk from years gone by.  I've got a plan for what I can do to accommodate everything eventually.  It will involve building a new cabinet and installing the glass doors I saved from the old house, but it could be really beautiful.  Meanwhile, the big desk is up for sale on Craigslist.  I also cleaned out some of my accumulated excess technology and gave a lot of it away.  Some day I'll go upstairs and begin the daunting task of clearing out some of the stuff the girls have been hoarding for years.  I could probably have one hell of a yard sale!

Ah well, I think I may have rambled enough for tonight.  I need to check on Megan and haul my ass to bed.
