It's been ages since I've dropped by, what can I say? When things are just strumming along, it's hard to find anything to say.

I've been busy with work and with stuff around the house- I got new kitchen cabinets!!! YAY!!! Only been waiting for the four years since we got this house, and they look as fabulous as I imagined. It really is amazing how much more workable a kitchen can be when it isn't being designed by a blind left handed man who eats out, I actually like working in there... well, except for cleaning, but what's new? All that remains to be done in there is cover panels and counters, and someday, hopefully the floor and windows. Not much considering the sorry excuse I started with: one drawer that was too small for cutlery, and 3' of open counter (bright green!), fridge and stove in awkwared places. No flow, no storage, dingy and depressing.

As for work, I got a great job after I returned from Houston last fall. Who knew that a person could work in retail and get so much respect while having so much fun??? This is the job I have been waiting for.... Now to live up to the expectations! It really has been a learning experience, though, and I am mostly over my bitterness towards former jobs and the public at large. It has made me a much more relaxed and happy person, someone I thought was long gone.

Hubby is no longer working long haul driving. He left that around Christmas and is now working in the oilfields. He is home more regularly, and still manages to bring home more dough than when he was gone for 3 or more weeks at a time. He is alot happier now, too- which is a bonus if he's gonna be around more. (But then again, that might have something to do with his ne '06 Ninja.)  Last year, between June and mid-November, he was only home for around 13 full days (give or take). That was definitely not enough!

Well, that is all for now. Maybe when I'm feeling more ambitous, I'll upload pics of the kitchen or our trip to Florida over New Year's. That was really an experience!
