Kitchen remodel

After residing at my place for two years now, I've decided it's time to change my kitchen! It's had a "busy" flower theme to it for many years. The crazy woman that lived there even before my sister decided to go nuts and wallpaper every wall with flowers and textured yellow wallpaper. I've been spending my weekends slowly chipping away at the wallpaper removal; it has not been easy!

Kitchen before. Bright yellow textured wallpaper on 3 of the 4 walls; from top to bottom. UGH!

The forth wall; covered in this "busy" flower motif. This was a "you know what" to remove! Those flowers were really glued on!

YAY!!! After the flowers were removed.... a normal white wall again, before primer and paint.

Here's me, madly scraping away at the textured wallpapered walls. GRRR!!!

Walls 2 and part of 3 scraped! Still have the glue to remove, which isn't too bad of a task to tackle. In the process of removing wallpaper from this wall, I discovered mold in one of the corners from a previous ceiling leak, and a quarter-sized hole in the sheetrock. Lots of mudding and taping to do before priming!

Belated birthday outing

As a birthday gift, I was treated to a night out at the Wild game! Luckily, after a long losing streak, we won on Saturday night, 5-2! A shot of the logos lit on the ice between periods.

Matt and I down by the ice after the game.

Tic and Hershey

Tic, all cozy on a chair.

It's the eye of the Tic....

Side profile of T

It's nap time!

Ha ha ha for once Hershey's motionless!

...But not for long, until he's back into trouble!

My not so "little" pudge, Hershey...he's really packed on the pounds!

Hershey, in the shadows, waiting for his next move!

What's Hershey up to now?

A Hershey in the box!

Kind of a tight squeeze! Ha ha ha

After a visit to the Vet (in which it took 3 people to hold him down for his shots!), Hersh is tuckered out!

Sleepy!

He looks innocent...but he's not!

Holiday cheer

Merry Christmas!! This year I spent the holiday with my family and friends. It was a pleasant holiday with lots of laughter and holiday cheer, and lots of food for that matter! Although it was a brown Christmas, there wasn't complaining by any means! It was a great road trip without worries!

Tic and Hershey relaxin' in the recliner at my parent's house. Look at that Hershey.... that's the look of trouble!

Christmas Eve was spent at my Grandpa's, where we had our "traditional" lasagna dinner. My nephew Sebastian goofing around between cribbage game moves.

My friend Matt and my nephew Sebastian playing Jenga.

Sebastian and I being goofy

Our "wasted" looks! Ha ha ha

Yes, I can still be a kid at heart. :) Magic suction glasses....hahaha

My little cousin Tyler getting in on the goofiness. :)

Christmas Day after church. Matt and I posin' for a photo.

Christmas gathering with the family usually means time for playing games. Me taking a break from my Scrabble match. Later, we all played a round of Polish Poker!

The Scrabble match between my friend Matt, me, my nephew Sebastian, and my mom resulted in some pretty funny words.... the words "moist" and "turd" should NOT be in the same board area! Hahaha gross!
