A Little More Update

Okay...I'm finally back.  The kids are in bed and it is my usual blogging time (which could also be called "really late"). 

Seriously this is my favorite time of day.  Kids are so much more enjoyable when they're sleeping.  They don't fight, they don't do things to drive you up the wall, you know...you can pretend for a little while that they're angelic beings.  LOL.  I'm sure God probably feels the same way about me when I'm sleeping, too.  Haha.

Anyways, back at that update thing.

Here is our original closet. Well, kind of original, this is after KC removed the closet racks that were designed by evil pawns and puttied the holes up (the heater was his big plan to create his own sauna and sweat off a few pounds while he was working to make the putty dry faster)

Once the putty dried, he put a nice fresh coat of light grey/brown paint over the original antique white and while the heater was hard at work drying the paint, the cat decided it would be fun to go in the closet and get high on the fumes.

We know this because he apparently laid up against the wall where the particles collected when KC sanded the putty and Jango spent the rest of the evening looking quite "skunk-like."  If he had gotten his stripes on straight, I would REALLY have had a heart attack when I saw him moseying from room to room (especially after our skunk in the garage episodes).

Then you have the main reason we were up so late...because we couldn't get to our bed until we got the closet back in order.  LOL!

And now....how bout them "AFTER" shots?

Are you ready?

Are you sure?

Cuz I was certainly ready to get to the point of the project where I could take them. 

OH WAIT.

First I have to show you my "on the job injury" (but no workers comp here...LOL!!)

Please excuse my hands...I need to carry lotion 24/7 obviously. 

Anyways, see the white line about 1/4 of the way down into the bed of my nail?  That's how far the nail bent back.  And I don't even know how I did it b/c I was just snapping the shelf locks in that hold the shelves from coming off the racks.

Well, hopefully that didn't hurt you to look at it as much as it hurt me when it happened.  And I'm pretty sure you won't feel the painful throbbing for three straight days either.  LOL!

NOW.  Are you ready for the after shots?

I thought so.  You've been ready, right?  HAH.

     

And all I can say is GO RUBBERMAID CLOSET SYSTEMS.  These babies are screwed in the studs....every last one of them.  THIRTY-TWO 2.5 inch screws.  Pop out at 3 am again, will ya.  I don't THINK so!!

Okay.  That's all for the closet project.  I am having a SERIOUS chocolate fit right now (which is highly unusual for me) but I will have to take care of this.  I'll be back before you get to the next paragraph (LOL).

See? I told you I'd beat ya back.  And MMMM...chocolate always tastes best when you are craving it really bad.

Well, that pretty much sums up the updating except for Sunday.  Sunday was (of course) church, and afterward was a carry-in dinner in honor of Sis Celestine (affectionately known to most of the congregation as "Nanny") who turned 90.  Can you imagine???  NINETY YEARS? 

I can't even fathom it. 

Any-ka-who, she is the sweetest lady and she is still driving herself to church on Sunday mornings.  I can't even imagine driving when I'm 90.  But she does good.

And these pictures just make me smile because this is just the kind of lady she is... genuine and full of joy. 

Of course, she was talking to Bro. K here, so ya never know, she might have been laughing for many other reasons...LOL (just teasing).

Well, that was pretty much the day.  We just hung out at the church all day instead of burning gas to drive back home just to turn around and come back, so that was the afternoon.  Oh and the service Sunday night was really good.  I don't really feel like elaborating on that at this particular moment, except that God is good and to say that His Spirit wasn't real and working there would be...well, I just can't say that.  I have erased like 10 sentences here, but maybe someday I'll post what I'm thinking right now.  Anyways.  Not today.  Don't feel like stirring the pot. 

Plus...KC's gone to bed on me already (AGAIN) so I'm gonna hit the sack. 

Later!

PS Monday's meal went off without a hitch and will definitely be on the list of recipes to repeat.  Super easy and super yummy.  Yay!
