I know I say this before every post I post after it’s been awhile, but this blog has been neglected since my birthday and has grown a long, long beard. The beard is so long I think I see some hairs starting to creep down below the screen. Not cool. I think the less I write, the less I have to say on this little slice of internet heaven that is my own. Again, not cool. This is valuable space that people would love to have. Ok, not really but whatever.
Anyway, what can I tell you that’s interesting?...
Did you know that I was getting new/used kitchen cabinets? Well I was and I was super pumped about them. My friend’s mom was gutting her kitchen and offered me her solid oak cabinets. So after measuring and looking at them, I decided to take them. Well long story short, after four pickup truck loads of hauling cabinets and putting them into my garage, I decided that they weren’t going to work after all. Too much time would have to be invested and they maybe wouldn’t have looked right in there anyway. So after discussion with some other peeps in my circle, I decided that I was just going to keep the cabinets I have and do some updating to them. I am kind of excited about it. It’s going to be a long project but will hopefully be worth it. I plan to start it after vacation so that will HOPEFULLY mean that my blog will be back in business in the New Year. There is also another change to it that I have been thinking about making to the blog so stay tuned for that, too. :)
Did you hear all the ruckus about the Holiday Train that made a stop in Cottage Grove? It was kind of a big deal and was the only stop in the country that had a free little concert to go along with the stop. There were three acts: The Claytones, Take 6 and Sheryl Crow. Drew and I went and it was cold, but it was also really fun. We were about 15 feet from the stage—I could literally see the pattern on Sheryl’s mittens. Sheryl played for an hour and the other two acts played for about a half an hour each. It was a pretty sweet gig. Nothing like a free concert in CG to kick off a Saturday night!
I just pulled my camera out of my purse the other day to find the battery completely dead (surprise, surprise). After I charged it I looked at my last pictures taken and they were the pictures I took during pumpkin carving! That means it’s been almost two months since I’ve taken a “real” picture. That’s pretty unacceptable in my book. I need to get on that in the New Year, too.
Since I slacked in the real camera department, I’ll leave you with some pixelated cell phone shots. (I have since upgrade my phone so hopefully my next ones won't be so rotten!)
Have a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year! Thanks for being a blog reader. :)
