Signs and Day 1...

Have you ever stopped to really listen to the Universe? Have you ever really noticed the signs telling you what you need to hear?

Well I have! And boy did they ring in loud and clear over the weekend.

Case in point:

As I was trying to put together this wall shelf over the weekend, my frustration mounted into yelling and screaming at the kids and I might have thrown the instructions a time or two. Then all of a sudden the metal pole ricocheted and hit/cut me over the left eye leaving me in pain and crying.

Sign 1 from the Universe: "Take that! Do I have your attention now?! Chill out, calm down,  and quit taking your anger out on everyone around you! "

This morning after another mostly sleepless night I woke up hungry. Nothing sounded good for breakfast except some hot, fresh, salt and peppered, Whataburger french fries! Yum! So I pulled into Whataburger order me some and as I went to get some and stick them in my mouth, they were the stale, cold, flimsy and soggy! And if you know me, I CAN NOT eat stale, cold, flimsy and soggy french fries! Yes, I was pist!

Sign 2 from the Universe: "How do those taste? You keep bitching about your weight and your clothes not fitting, so here! Let me help you out, since you obviously didn't have the will power to stay out of the drive-thru!"

As much as I would like to bitch-slap the Universe across the face for inflicting physical and emotion wounds on me - all I can say is Thank You!

I see the light...

In addition to my weekend of signs - and those weren't the only ones - I signed the contract to have my kitchen remodeled - beginning today. WooHoo! Like I am not stressed enough!!!!

But, this remodel is going to go smoothly, the work will be high quality and precise and it will run in such a timely manner that it will be best for both parties. I am super excited to finally be opening up my kitchen to the living room!!!!! (doing the cabbage patch...running man...sprinkler...watch out now!) I have wanted this for YEARS people, YEARS!

Here are some pictures from Day 1's work:

Here we go! (And no I do not mean "we" as is me or Mr. Strong.)

WOOHOO!

You can't really tell it, but my breakfast bar will be 12-1/2 feet long!



New Rock Fireplace

 More exciting pictures to come. This will be a short work week and we are leaving town for the holiday, so to everyone out there that has wanted something for YEARS - it is your turn to make it happen! Good luck and if you don't hear from me before Thursday have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!

MUUUUWAHHHHH!
