I needed to paint last week and, yet, I spent two days doing relatively nothing other than the usual activities. I began to worry, as my Mother would have said, that my "get up and go had got up and gone". No worries, though. Though I didn't get any painting done, Wednesday, I managed to clean out the kitchen cabinets. In the process, I threw away about 30 old spices....who knows how long I had had them...LOL. I also think I had some rice that had been there since I moved in!! I also found quite a bit of stuff that's going into a yard sale. That pile is growing bigger by the day!! I also cleaned the front porch that is often neglected because it is seldom used. Birds had built a birdnest atop my lighting fixture! They were gone so I got rid of that, accidentally inhaling contents of the thing in the process. Yuck!  Hopefully, histoplasmosis isn't going to be in my future. 

So, all in all the week wasn't a complete washout. I also made a new icon that I am using for this post....

LOL. we are so close to getting our painting started this weekend. in the kitchen. then the next weekend we can rip out the old vinyl and get ready for the new stuff. then onto a new countertop. If money were not an object...I'd have new cabinetry as well. oh well. gonna spruce up what's here and make due. new handles too.

good luck with your projects! :)

LOL...your icon is a hoot. What is it about spring and home improvement? I would love a new countertop and a cabinetry refacing but money dictates "not a chance"...

You'll have to post pics of the renovations in your LJ.

Seems that the cleaning bug has hit us all pretty hard lately. Glad you found that 'get up and go'. I'm forever missplacing mine!

I did get your email. It just taking me a while to recover from MS' appearance on 24. For a short appearance, you won't believe the awesome pics that are being posted over at GW. By what MS has said in his blog we have alot more to look forward too. ; )

In addition, I have been busy putting the finishing touches on my bedroom. It is all done except for putting some pictures up. My plan is to send you off a reply tonight. Only ten days left!!! : )

Renovations are a good excuse to really go through all the crap I have. I have a bag of crap to throw out and one bag of clothes to donate.
