Tackle it Tuesday #9

TTBigButton

This week I’ve been tackling all over the place!  Starting with the progress on the kitchen cabinet project…

The other 2/3 of the kitchen is still in progress… but this section is DONE!!  DONE!!  DONE!!  YIPPEE!!!!  DONE!! 

My brother in law painted our handles and hinges for me…

I am extremely pleased with the progress, and with the results!

*****************************************************

Then I tackled this drawer in the bathroom:

The final straw, making this drawer unbearable, came when little rubber bands got dumped all over it!

What did the Family Circus call that 6th (?)… “notme”?  Notme did that.

**************************************************

This morning I decided that I was going to do Jadon’s birthday with my family. TONIGHT… along with one of my other nephew’s and my sister.  They were planning to have the party and I was going to wait and celebrate his with the end of October birthdays.  Well… Zach, supposedly, assumably, isn’t playing in the game tonight.  So, I guess going there to watch the back of his head and missing the party is a little silly.  Don’t ask me why he’s not playing… it’s not his thumb… and he has no other physically injury… grrrr… teenagers…  not gonna miss this!

So I threw together this cake for Jadon…

Jadon is now officially… a handful.  (well, on Sunday)

***************************************************

Add to that some laundry folding, and walking around the track at the school for an hour for a PTO fundraiser…  why am I blogging instead of napping… oh yes, I’m just crazy that way.

My shoes for my sister's wedding came in the mail today!!  I won them on E-Bay!!  Who knew!!!   $23, never worn, dyed Truffle Shoes, size 6.5, from David's Bridal!

Remodeling is for the birds. I hate it. My nerves are always on edge. But the Lord teaches me a thing or to in that department. The results are great when all is done.

At least you went to the walk-a-thon, I skipped out. The hair drawer looks great, I have one so much worse and no matter what I do, we can't keep it organized:(
