Productive

Jim and I were very productive this weekend.  Saturday I did my normal stuff but I also managed to bathe Bubba which is no small feat.  Lifting him into the bathtub, although it doesn't take any time, is a back-breaker. Blow drying him takes about an hour with him moving around, shaking and nibbling on his paws.  For some reason this time he didn't want me to blow dry his butt.  Usually he doesn't care.  In the end though I was able to get him mostly dry and Saturday was nice so he was able to go in and out without freezing his tookus off.

Sunday, yesterday was quite productive.  After cleaning I decided that with nothing else to do and the Bengals not on until 4:00, I should get a head start on the kitchen.  So, after going out and purchasing the tile, I set to work painting the upper cabinets.  I cranked those out and they look shiny and terrific.  I thought about doing the bottom cabinets as well but I wouldn't have been able to cook and I was getting sloppy and tired.  I'll try and get a little here and there done this week on the bottom ones so that by Friday, all that will be needed to do is paint the walls and ceiling (Jim's job).  This means that by Saturday, we'll be ready for tiling and Sunday grouting. 

Other than painting, yesterday I made some bread...chocolate chip pumpkin bread.  It makes two loaves so one will go to my secret pal and I cut several pieces for my girls at work and left just a tad for Jimmy and me.  It's quite dense and filling and we don't need to be eating more than a piece or two.  I also made a delicious potato soup for dinner.  It wasn't as thick as I would have liked it but it was delicious.  I'll make it again sometime and thicken it up.

This week at work shouldn't be too bad.  I have an IEP on Tuesday but I sent a draft home and got an email back that all looked fine and the meeting should be nice and short.  I'll take Friday off to work on the kitchen and beyond that...I got nothing. 

Well, I best head up and out.  Got my normal Monday stuff to do which can be a tad hectic so...I'm out...later!
