Football already? really?

Posted by Shantel at 4:22 PM

UGH! not to be a complete whiner but I really hate football season.  HATE IT!  For many, many reasons.  One of them being that my FB Newsfeed now is loaded with crap like.... "touchdown" "go niners" "bears" this and "Eli" that.....blah blah blah and it goes on and on and on.  I'm taking this as a sign I need to stay off the FB for a little bit.  Then there are the football pool fantasy things always going on and that disgusting food people usually eat while watching this stuff.  It's just all too much for me.  Entire lives revolve around this!  I know it really shouldn't irritate me, but man, it DOES!  Football insanity (or any sport for that matter) would have been a major relationship deal breaker with my husband.

We started our kitchen remodel project this weekend.  WOW!  It was fun for the first oh....I don't know, 30 minutes.  Then I got bored with it, already.  That isn't good people!!  Apparently I was taking too many pictures and not working enough.  JEESH!!  My husband really likes to crack that whip.  

You can see our above TINY TINY California Bungalow kitchen in all of it's 1940's glamour.

Bye Bye nasty black grouted tile that no amount of bleach would EVER even touch.

Here I am busting out some tiles.  Safety first I always say, safety FIRST!  That explains why I look like a nut in my goggles and gardening gloves.

What we ended with yesterday.  The whole thing about gutted out.  We left the sink on the frame and we can move it back and forth.  Just so we still have some water and a place to wash a few dishes.  I can't get over the layers of wallpaper and the nastiness that was lurking behind all those cabinets.  ICK!!!  I'm completely stunned we are all still alive really.

Today my husband worked on ripping up layers of linoleum.  We are ripping things up to the subfloor so we can work on a few plumbing issues with the washer and dryer and then we will tile the floor back up.
I just keep thinking how nice it will be when it's all done.

On a Primal note have you all been over at MDA?   There are contests and info on the 30 day challenge.  Exciting stuff going on over there!!  Everyone should check it out!
I submitted my dinner pic the other night to him.  It wasn't too fancy.  It was a BLTnA.
Messy but oh so good!

Trader Joes has the greatest organic heirloom tomatoes.  I've found myself adding them to just about everything.

Last week I met with my new trainer at the gym (I got 10 free sessions for that modeling thing so thought i might as well use them) and it went well.  The first day we did legs.  I'm thinking that was.....Tuesday and today, I'm still having trouble walking up stairs and sitting down to go pee.  Friday we did arms and I'm a little sore but nothing I can't live with.  I still continued to pull down cabinets and bust up tile yesterday so clearly I didn't workout hard enough.

    LOL
    NOOO! don't make me! I promise I wan't say anything sinister about football again!
    Funny thing is I used to love it when I was kid but now that I'm an adult I realize i don't think I liked the sport so much as i enjoyed the time with my family (glued to the tube) and eating all those cheetos....UG!
