What we did with our weekend

Let’s just do this as a photo essay, shall we?

It’s all in and we love it.  Of course everything took 4 times longer than it should have because we had to keep fixing previous reno nightmares of the form owners.  Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to run 2 or three loads of dishes [...]

Look at it this way, 20% of the working week is now over!

Yeah, and then we all sang Loverboy!

Oops, showing my age again.  Teehee.
And now, let me show the most perfect apple in the world.  Picked not 20 minutes ago from a tree in the backyard:

Then Mr. B got at it:

We’re also drowning in tomatoes.  Every other day I’m picking a bowl like [...]

Even on the darkest day…

our kitchen is going to all nice and bright.  Mom, you should look away now, you’re going to hate this:

Behr – Wildflower Honey – B50-6.  Oh, it’s gonna be bright I tells ya!  This is just a one quart can to slap around on the wall and make sure we like it before we buy [...]

Oh Canada!

My home and native land!
Guess what today is!  Yep, it’s Canada Day.  Love it!  Makes me all proud stuff.  I’ll be humming the anthem on and off all day today.

World wide knit in public day?

Um, yeah, every day on transit is knit in public day.  Today, I just could not face taking transit for more than an hour each way to hit the sort of local WWKIP event.  I know all my knitting peeps (gosh, I’m so hip) were all there.   Me?  I was here:

Spinning this;

I also had some [...]

What? Ikea has come out with a laptop?

No, it’s just the cleverly disguised packaging of a new kitchen step stool.

This weekend’s update is all about biting off more than is good for you!

This post is long, it’s really more for me and as proof that the hubby and I are actually this stupid, ’cause there is no way we’re going to believe the stuff we did in a year or two.
I also wanted to remind you to get your entry in the late spring blog contest by [...]

How did a week go by so fast?

Unfortunately, it’s Sunday and that means both hubby and I are back to work tomorrow.  I have to say, this was probably the most non-relaxing week off work I’ve ever had.    Oh well, at least we got lots done.  Today’s fun & festivities included some demolition:

Then we took out part of the wall [...]

Success

The gas is hooked up, the electrical too.  The doors are on and frankly, we’re a bit tired.  This is where we finished yesterday:

We also ran out to T&T Supermarket yesterday and got a wok.  I can’t wait to stir fry this week!
We were a bit bushed after all that so we just sort of [...]

Moving right along

Well, it’s been 24 hours and I haven’t stepped foot in an Ikea.  Success!  We were still up and farting around building cabinets and such until midnight last night.  This whole ‘getting it level’ and ‘checking that it’s square’ and ‘following the directions’ sure does make it all take a lot longer.  Here’s a couple [...]
