I've been ill but busy!

This was my kitchen cabinets before Saturday evening. In the picture they look nice and white but when the people flipped the house they did a really bad job of painting the cabinets with runs and everything in them and really cheap hardware.


I bought my antique glaze at Lowe's with the rags and gloves -spent about $30. I bought new hardware pulls at ebay for $20. Now I need to put some type of protectant over them. I'll be making a trip back to Lowe's this weekend - not sure that I will do it this weekend though. I had just planned on doing one cabinet to just see and before I knew it I had all the bottom one's done and got up on Sunday and finished the top ones. So it went very fast - messy but fast. When I should have been taking it easy. I woke up Saturday dragging and by Sunday evening had a full blown cold. Now I honestly feel like I have had the flu - I ache and just feel bad all over. I stayed home Tuesday and today but I have to go in tomorrow and Friday for the end of the period at work.

Hope everyone out in blog land is doing well. I'll do better next week in posting I promise!

Monday Menu, February 12, 2007

This weekend was a nice, quiet weekend. I honestly didn't do a lot. I had plenty to do but well we just sat around and watched tv. I took Erynn shopping Saturday morning and she got a few new clothes. Gosh, as they grow it's hard to keep them in clothes! When they are little we want them to grow and then when they start growing we don't want them to anymore.

Sunday: Ate corned beef sandwiches at my mom's

Monday: Cheese tortinelli - didn't eat last week

Tuesday: Class

Wednesday: Church dinner

Thursday: Class

Friday: Mini meatball soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, sour cream pound cake -
I'm scrapbooking with my cousin Martha and her daughter Jennifer. Can't wait to see
them!

Saturday: Dad's b-day - making him a hummingbird cake

Hope that everyone has a great week! Check out Laura's blog for more menus!

Monday Menu Plan February 5, 2007

Well, this past weekend was very busy at my house. My 13 yr old went to her first formal dance. All day on Saturday she was a nervous wreck. She was worried her dress wasn't dressy enough (this coming from my sports playing tomboy), to someone having the same dress as her. I really don't think she ate much at all - I finally enticed her with her favorite taco bell and got her to eat a late lunch after getting her hair put up. Let me show you some pics:

Ok, now after seeing those pics can you see why I'm so sad. This is my only baby and where did she go and who is this teenager that has replaced my tomboy. Someone suggested I get a shotgun. I brought the photos to work this morning and shared them with my coworkers and they were just as shocked as I was. It just seems like this has happened over night.

Saturday morning we woke up to this:

Can you see the forks too? It was too funny. The girl next door and a friend of theirs did this. Erynn was so excited - I guess it's a "Right of Passage". I'm just thankful there wasn't a lot to pick up.

So finally here is my menu for the week:

Sunday: I had left over potato soup before I went to the Superbowl party and pigged out.

Monday: Stromboli - I'm just making one of those package pizza crust and putting sausage, cheese and pepperoni on the inside and baking it and then dipping in spaghetti sauce.

Tuesday: Class

Wednesday: Cheese tortolini (sp?) with alfredo sauce and veggies

Thursday: Class

Friday: Meatloaf

Saturday: Bowling alley with the Single's group from church

OH, I watched some of Paula Dean on FoodNetwork yesterday and I'm telling you I think I gained 10 lbs just watching. I printed out a ton of recipes and I'll let you know as I try them.

I hope everyone has a great week and be sure to check out Laura's blog for more menus!
