Birthday and Kitchen

Yesterday we celebrated my step moms birthday. My dad, Britt, Donna and myself met at Brio in Troy enjoying a couple glasses of wine and delicious food.

I order their Sweet Potato & Chicken Risotto, it was amazing. I think Ive been having extreme success with picking meals lately probably cause I'm venturing out from my usual Chicken dishes.

It's also probably why I can't lose a single pound cause its heavier meals. It's so easy to put on the weight but its a pain in the ass to take it off, oh the joys of being a girl. Side note: I decided to jump up to Level 2 of the 30 day shred. Tuesday: Level 1 Wednesday: Walked Bear and did half of Level 1 Thursday: Walked Bear and Today: Level 2

Today we had our new coffee table delivered so Brian and I will spend tonight putting it together after dinner at The Lodge with the family. I ordered it from Wayfair after I saw a commercial on the TV about them. We wanted to have something with a shelf and some drawers on it for storage.


I also had Dan the Handyman come quote out was changes to my kitchen. I keep going back and forth on painting my cabinets White from the Oak color they currently are. I love the clean fresh look of the white cabinets but I'm afraid that after a certain amount of time it will scratch and chip and look like crap. Dan says I should leave them as is, Brian thinks so too and so does my dad. 3 people that I don't want saying "I told you so" once they get changed and I hate it. So I'll leave it as is....for now

Dan is going to create a pantry on the left side of the frig since currently we don't have one and its kind of driving me nuts. Well end up losing a countertop but I think it's one that I can live without.


He's also going to extend the 2 cabinets at the top of the frig to encase the frig so it actually won't look like it sticks out as much. I'm thinking that maybe I would have him create this nifty wine holder.



To add a little creature to the cabinets (since I'm not painting them) he's going to add some crown molding. I think I like the first one or last one the best





Hopefully he'll start in a couple of weeks then in the meantime we can work on our countertops and back splash.
