WE got lucky this morning.
The sideways rain stopped for a time being, so we could have our walking group. Mind you the large and looming grey clouds scared us into believing that we were doomed at any time. Since we are all hardened "wet coasters" we decided to continue to walk despite the rain. I did not divulge the true fact that I personally hate walking in the rain, but I figured it would not do me in for an hour twice a week, although I am certain that it will try.
I went on Sunday and added another expense to our already smoking credit card. I found a table and chair set that will fit the newly almost remodeled kitchen. I was all for the pub table and chair style, but the husbandman wanted the "old fashioned regular" table and chairs, especially for the one time in the year that we have guests over. I quizzed him on the fact that we have people over once in 365 days, and that is how we base our kitchen table buying? He claimed it was. Whatever.
Our refridgerator is currently in our livingroom. I suggested that we just put it outside and plug it in the great outdoors, but the husbandman looked at me strangely. He is just so non-comical about these things.
We would put things in our garage, but there isn't an ounce of room left. It has been stock piled with new fridges, microwaves, old & new dishwashers, a perfectly good gas range, brand new kitchen cabinets that will not be getting installed into the brand new kitchen, and a rather large assortment of boxes. Our kitchen however.. remains a little on the empty side.
I forgot to tell the husbandman that the new kitchen table and chairs are being delivered sooner than later.. which should add to the chaos... probably in between coats of paint on the crown moldings.

Stop, Stop! All this discussion of fridges in the living room is bringing back long repressed memories of our own kitchen reno!
Its been five years, I am still waiting for the backsplash to be grouted. I just tell myself "Its not that important". I am a good liar! Its the only way I maintain some semblance of sanity!
Dear Deanna,
The Dove Self-Esteem Fund has launched two new short films aimed to provoke the discussion and examination of self-image in young girls. You may remember Dove’s now infamous Evolution video from last year. This is the video that evoked enormous discussion around what really happens behind the scenes of photo shoots.
The new viral videos Dove has created were in an effort to reach Dove’s mission of touching the lives of 5 million girls globally by the year 2010. In order to achieve this goal, Dove needs the help of people like you to post these videos. Your blog was noted as one of great influence. Given your web space, you are aware of the influence mother’s have on their daughters. Mothers look to each other to share experiences and advice. What better topic than self-esteem in young girls? Self-esteem relates to every aspect of life in young girls and whether positive or negative, carries into adulthood. What better lesson can a mother give her child than to love herself?
The Dove Self-Esteem Fund commissioned a global study to investigate insights and factors that influence self-esteem and self-expression. The results found “…that an extraordinarily high number (92 per cent) of young women say they want to change some aspect of their physical appearance and that this drastically affects the way they feel about themselves and how they engage in life”. Results like these are what drive Dove’s commitment to be a force of positive change in how women and young girls perceive and embrace beauty, and to help them foster positive self-esteem.
I encourage you to post the following URL on your blog as means to start important dialogue. Visit www.campaignforrealbeauty.ca/films to view the new films.
