Kitchen Cabinets
When we bought the house, it didn’t have any hardware on the kitchen cabinets. Over a year later, we finally got around to purchasing cabinet hardware and putting them on.
I’m not a fan of white cabinets, but they aren’t in bad shape so I figured I’d jazz them up a bit.
And I can’t wait to get new appliances – I’m hoping to do that at the beginning of the year! And next up (I hope!) is putting up a back splash! And painting. I can’t wait to get new counter tops, a new floor, and a center island. If money only grew on trees…
Here are a few pics of what the cabinets looked like when we bought it:
And here are a few pics after putting the hardware on:
Fourteen Pounder
I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is in less than a week. How did it get here so fast? Seriously. I swear it was just the 4th of July. The time is just flying by.
So I already bought the bird for Thursday. It’s a fourteen (14) pounder. Wow. For two people. Talk about leftovers for days! And please let me note that this will be my first time roasting a turkey. Ever. So I will definitely have to report back how it goes.
I got the brine from Williams Sonoma and I’m so excited to try it out. It’s Apple & Spices Turkey Brine.
I figured if I’m going to do this, I should just go all out! 
Everyone gave this brine great reviews, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to try it.
I’m kinda bugged out about the whole Stuffing thing though. I can’t bring myself to actually stuff the bird. It kind of skeeves me out. It’s not actually stuffing it, but it’s EATING the stuffing that was in there.
Stuffing is my FAVORITE. My Mom’s stuffing is the best. But this year I won’t be able to have it. What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?
Aside from eating Thanksgiving dinner, my favorite thing about Thanksgiving is looking through all of the circulars for Black Friday. I just love to see what sales are going to be offered. I don’t even leave the house on Black Friday, so I never go shopping! I just like to see what everyone gets up at the ass crack of dawn for.
If I do any shopping on Black Friday, it’s online!
Inquiring minds want to know: Do you go out shopping on Black Friday?
It’s been a while.
Wow, it’s been quite a while since I’ve updated! Things have been pretty crazy lately. Work is kickin’ my butt. So I’ll just leave you with some random comments for now…
I can’t believe we’re almost in the middle of November.
My commute is back to normal since the SEPTA strike is over.
We’re still adjusting to life without baseball. It became such a part of our daily routine, and now it’s gone (for about 90-some more days).
I finally tried making the homemade donuts, and they were fabulous! I forgot to take pictures – oops. Next time.
I’m happy the Chargers beat the Giants!!
There is cake in my future – my Mom’s birthday is on Thursday! So on Saturday we’re having dinner & cake for her birthday! YUM. Looks like I have to fight my nephew and my niece Katy for the piece with the most icing…LOL!
My favorite show is Dexter. LOVE it.
The Stove Top Stuffing peeps were giving out coupons for free stuffing and thousands of free SEPTA tokens downtown this morning. How nice! It’s part of their Spread the Warmth campaign. What a wonderful thing to do!
And I’ll leave you with My Lil Pony. Say hello! She entertains me and keeps me company here at work.
