Since Tuesday I've been without a refrigerator or stove, because my kitchen floor was being replaced. Today my NEW kitchen appliances were delivered. They look great, but I am just a little bummed because the microwave door doesn't open all the way -- not the fault of the appliance or the installation, it's just wedged in too tightly. This house is too small in every way. I hope potential buyers will see the charm and not the cramped space.

Anyway, I've been eating peanut butter sandwiches and granola bars most of the week. Today I broke down and bought breakfast out -- an omelet and hash browns at a local family restaurant. Then, even though my appliances were in, I still had no fresh food on hand at suppertime, so I went to Taco Bell and got nachos. Haven't had them for ages and I had a real craving. Altogether I spent $14.

I still have lots of painting to do in the kitchen and also have to take down wallpaper -- ugh. I haven't had good experiences doing that.
