Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, I’ve found my new religion. I have been touched by “His Noodly Appendage”.

So Joanne’s is having a 60% off sale on framing today. And only today. It happens once a year, according to the lady at the frame counter. We found out about it yesterday when we went to check out stamps and stencils for the kitchen and decided to come back today to see about getting some things framed.

Dan has had his diploma’s for the past 6 years or so rolled up and my Mom promised to frame them for him for his graduation present, when we found framing on sale. We also have a gorgeous dragon print that he bought back in 2000 or so at DragonCon that we needed framed. And since I just got my AA we had that diploma as well.

The contractors arrived at 6:45am, yes before any logical person would be awake. And have continued work on the kitchen. Right now the house is really dusty which is a bit annoying. They had to cut a hole in the floor and the ceiling to lay plumbing and electrical wires. Which is nice but the dust is really obvious. Reminding me why I use to hate to go into the home depot by my parents old house.

Other then that they are moving really fast putting in the kitchen and should be finished by this afternoon. Next Wednesday the template person will be out for the countertops and then in two weeks or so after that they’ll get to install the countertop, the new sink and facets and the corner cabnet*. And we’ll be done, yay!

*The corner cabnet ended up having a crack inside it, so we have to replace it. So that should be arriving sometime next week and they’ll install it when they come back out to do the countertop.

Let’s see today was fairly quiet. I am so ready for school to start. The long summer off was nice, but I’ve definately hit my I’m ready to do stuff again point.

The appliance guy arrived at 8am which was way early. They dropped off the stove, microwave and dishwasher. Which was nice though they forgot to include the dishwasher kit oops. We had to go out later to get it. I was downstairs by 9am. Spent most of the day surfing the web wasn’t even in the mood for any videogames.

I did read the next two sections in my Math Book. They were fairly interesting. Also read a bit more Dante which was good. Other then that not much else till hubby got home around 6.

We went out to Home Depot and got the piece the guys forgot and then headed to Petsmart and dropped of K’s food and such. We then stopped at Target and I got plastic utensils and Eldest. Also picked up dinner.

Headed home and ate dinner then finished clearing out the kitchen so it is now completely empty and ready for the guys tomorrow. Other then that not much else went on this evening. As I said rather boring day. Hopefully some more of my Amazon orders arrive tomorrow.

And I don’t get to go. I’m really jealous. Apparently my Mom decided to take my two younger sisters on a cruise around the Bahamas. Of course they decided to go the week that University starts for me. So I don’t get to go along. I told her I didn’t mind missing the first week of class, but she didn’t believe me. So while I’m learning about ancient civilizations, writing proofs, and learning about micro and macro economics my mom and sisters are going to be sunning themselves on a big boat as it winds around the Bahamas.

On the plus side she wants to do a girl only vacation again next year and she promised to make sure it occured while none of us are in school etc, so hopefully I’ll get to at least go to that.

Well I have to say I’m fairly impressed so far with Amazon’s marketplace. On Friday I ordered books I need for the upcoming semester. Today the first one arrived. It was my most important book. My math book, and it is in great condition. Now I just need to wait on the other 8 books I have ordered. It was definately a nice experience though to get it so fast.

I went through and read the first section and it is basic logic so fairly interesting. I plan to finish reading through the first chapter before classes start so I’m ready to go next Wednesday.

On a messageboard I visit there was a post about weird and strange things about you and that you do. I figured it was an interesting post so I’m going to transfer my answers here plus add a few more.

Well today I started reading my copy of The Divine Comedy that I picked up yesterday. I really like how this book is layed out. The intro and notes from the translator aren’t that important to me, but they do have decent information included within them. I sort of skimmed through the first 25 pages or which included the intro and the translators notes. Mainly because I wanted to actually read the verse of the story not the notes.

So the house right now is really cluttered, more then the normal clutter. Because for the past two weeks we have had all the cabnets for our new kitchen sitting in the diningroom. On Wednesday they are finally going to be moved, okay they might not be moved till Friday, but on Wednesday the contractor is finally coming to install them. It is going to be so nice. We are basically doubling the amount of counter space and storage space we have. At the moment we have one countertop we can really prepare things on. We are adding an entire wall of cabnets with the remodel which will be so nice. We have also bought all new appliances, except for the fridge.

Welcome to my blog. Not that anyone really knows about it yet. This is a place for me to type out frustrations, updates on my life or just general randomess. I am proud to say I have finally finished organizing the site, I think it looks good now and I think I like the color scheme at least so far. We’ll see how I feel about it tomorrow. Other then that welcome to my new blog. No promises about how often I’ll update, I might update entries 2 times a day or I may go months without an entry, who knows. Anyways here goes nothing.
