One of the things I wasn't crazy about when we bought this house was the GIANT 1950's metal sink unit in the kitchen. As a matter of fact, on the walk through of the house I told L & our realtor that it would be the first thing to go. As finances wouldn't allow for the kitchen remodel to be the first thing I did when we moved in, I didn't really have the option to rip out the sink.

After living with it for two weeks I fell in love with it. I knew it didn't really fit in the kitchen but we decided that when we built the wetbar in the basement we would move it downstairs. I could then "update" the kitchen to 1929.

For once the lack of posts isn't due to lack of motivation. My hosting provider updated some software on their server and it caused a bit of a glitch in my website. I was unable to create any new posts. I think it has been finally worked out but should any of you folks run across a problem, please let me know so that I can follow up with the server hosts.

For the most part, I have spent the last four days trying to recover from what may, or may not be, bronchitis. I don't really know what it is since I am too stubborn to go see a doctor. (There...you all have it in writing, I admit I am stubborn! ) I tend to have to be off my feet for a week before I will cave-in and schedule an office call. I figure if I still feel lousy on Tuesday I'll go ahead and make an appointment. In the meantime I'm drinking lots of fluids and getting plenty of bed rest. But today I couldn't take any more. The thought of having a half finished kitchen finally got the best of me and I had to get out of bed.

Do you remember when you were a kid and you started to choke on something? If your mom was anything like mine the first thing she did was grab your arm and yank it up above your head and start whacking you on the back. The idea behind this is actually two-fold. Supposedly by raising your arms above your head you help open up air passages in to your lungs. Obviously the whacking was more to get whatever you were choking on OUT.

I spent the afternoon getting the first coat of ceiling paint up and most of the second coat of the back hall done. I still have part of the ceiling to finish but my back is killing me so it will have to wait til later. (Maybe after the Whohead goes to bed I'll have a bit more energy.)
