Catch Up

Ok... so I know I've been a little behind on the blogging lately. What can I say- I haven't been that interesting- and when I do think of something cute to blog about- I have been too lazy! But due to popular demand... I'm back!!

Last weekend I had a great time spending a little girls time with my dear friend, Nikki. We went SHOPPING! When I mentioned to Nick that we were going shopping, his response was "what for?" Guys just don't understand that we girls need no particular item to shop for. We hit the craft store, where we worked up an appetite. So we went to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory where we stuffed ourselves with yummy food and cheesecake. I could feel my butt getting bigger as I ate it, but it tasted so good, I didn't care! Besides, we worked off our cheesecake by continuing to shop! It was so much fun! I spent the night at Nikki's house and then went to church at St. Joseph's where I caught up with a few more of my Corydon friends.

Monday, after a Toning class at the Y that could double as torture, Nick and I went over to the house to work for awhile. Nick went to put the dogs away while I worked on cleaning up some of the dishes in the basement. I heard a cat meowing as I washed and I thought it was outside, but then it got louder and when I turned around, there was one of the black kitties on the kitchen steps. I knew she wanted outside (Nick had also planned to feed the cats) so I opened the back door. Rather than run outside, she ran down to the basement. Drat. I really didn't want a cat in the house. But to the cat, who only likes me when I have food, the basement was full of perfect places to hide. Nick was able to whoo her out from under the cabinets in the basement with some cat food and sweet talk...so black kitty is back outside with the rest of the cats. Pepper would not have approved of a house kitty.

Finally...some before pictures....In the basement at the house are two cabinets that were originally in the old house on the farm. Nick has decided to take on the job of restoring these old cabinets to their full glory. I'm including the before picture now...with the after to come later.

Can't you just see Nick's grandma's wedding china displayed on these shelves?

And this one would be perfect for pies and cakes and other baked goods to cool.

Nick and I took a vacation day today. We're off to the home show in Evansville where I hope to find some great ideas for the house!! I'm bringing my camera...so I will have plenty of blog material.

Coming tomorrow...Home Show and Nigeria!
