Way Back Wednesday-sick, sickies, sickoes

(First off...Blogger is sucking ass today. I had to jump through virtual hoops to post these damn pictures!!)



It's Wednesday again. That means it's time for Way Back Wednesday hosted by Mamaduck at The Kept Woman. This weeks theme is :"I'b sick"...in honor of my germ-laiden kids, let's do a sicknesses and injuries of the past theme!

Yesterday, Mamaduck also gave us an alternate theme and said, "If your mommy didn't take pictures of you all laid up with your chicken noodle soup your alternate assignment is to take a picture of your kitchen."

Okay. So at first I didn't think I could do the sick pic, because after searching high and low I couldn't find one sick picture of myself. Well, that's not entirely true, but not the kind of sick she was looking for. ;) BUT...lucky for me...I am sick today. How perfect, don't you think? Just in time. So this beauty goes all the way back to about 4 hours ago.



Me in all my glory... no make-up, snotty nosed, stuffy head, coughing, sore throat, can somebody kill me glory. Okay, so it's just a little cold and I'm being a big baby. It's just that this is the third one since we've been on the toddler social circuit. I very rarely got colds before and I have to tell you, I'm not liking it. Okay, I am done bitching.

And because I already have the pictures of my kitchen, and it's nap time, and I have nothing else to do...I'm doing the alternate assignement for extra credit, which, as mamaduck, has already stated amounts to uhh...nothing.



Now keep in mind there is nothing in my kitchen that anyone would want to use when building a brand new home. The cabinets are the cheapest Merillat cabinets available in a honey oak. They do the job, don't get me wrong, but they would not be my first, second, or third choice. The counter is a very cheap laminate. Dog granite, I call it. I think the actual name was labrador granite. We actually did these ourselves to replace the cream colored slab that was there when we bought the house. Jack's daddy wanted granite, but I couldn't see putting a granite counter with crappy cabinets. I wanted it look decent for now and then when we can afford a complete remodel (maybe in 2026?) we can do it all.



Am I practicle or what? I'm certain there are many men out there that would really appreciate it that in a woman. Just not sure that mine does. C'est la vie.

Moving on. The butcher block, I LOVE. Although I do not cut directly on it, because I just don't wanna mess it up! And the floors, just ignore them and picture hardwood in their place. And that is my kitchen. All in all I do actually like it, crappy materials aside, and can live with it for quite a while I'm sure. And the red...that was all me baby!

Now, on a supernatural note. What the hell it that round thing in front of my sink in this next picture? And why was it not in any of the others? And why do have so much shit on the side of my fridge??
