January 2017 Wrap-Up Post
What We've Been Up To
♥ Furriness: Evil Kitty has been doing what he does. Basically lounging about the house and being a general pain in everyone's butt. This week he claimed a new box as his own after beating off one of the other kitties and chewed his way through a brand new phone charger when I left the room for 30 seconds. Ugh, this cat. He's lucky he's sometimes adorable.
Ugliness Born in 1968 |
Well, hello there 2017 |
♥ Movies: We went to see Split. Wow, what a great job the lead actor did with all of those personalities. It was creepy, and disturbing without any in-yer-face nastiness. The truly bad stuff was alluded to, thank the good lord for that, and I recommend it if you're in the mood for such things. We also rented The Autopsy of Jane Doe which definitely lived up to all of its accolades. It's horrifying and unique. You should see it!
Link Ups
I'm linking this post up to Stacking The Shelves, Sunday Post, Mailbox Monday & It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
Netgalley Binge
Seriously, still? Yes! I even went over there to update my reviews and didn't grab a thing.
Ebook Buys
I grabbed a few freebies. Now to find the time to read them . . .
Your cabinets look really great with that makeover! That really is an amazing difference. I try not to think about my kitchen-the place is a hazard to health and wellbeing and I hate even going into it! Thankfully, tonight we are getting in a yummy meal from the local takeaway and I'll be enjoying a tikka masala!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chuckles. I got sick of looking at them. They were seriously depressing but my body is not thanking me for this decision. It is soooo much work. Take-away is the best, I agree!
DeleteI really like the cabinets and hey, for the money you saved, they look practically brand new. Kitchens are the worse. Ours needs help in every way possible but no time to do it. Evil Kitty sounds like a handful, but he does do adorable quite well. Hope you have a great weekend and get some quality reading done!
ReplyDeleteThey do look decent considering what crap shape they were in before. They were so grimy and beat up. You can't really tell from the before pic but they were dreadful. I got zero reading done this weekend but thanks for the thoughts :)
DeleteIsn't it amazing how a bit of paint job can update the look of your kitchen? I bought my house in 06 but it's already looking worst for wear.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
It really is. I just wish it would stay fresh forever. It seems just as we finish a room it's time to do another.
DeleteOh your cabinets look really good! I picked up Sick House too! :) Hope you enjoy your new reads!

Thanks Stormi!
DeleteGood job on the cabinets! I know that that is a lot of work but it will be so worth it in the end. Congrats on not requesting on NetGalley...I failed with that this week. Your kitty is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is exhausting but my kitchen is looking brighter.
DeleteWow, your cabinets got a great facelift. I love them. I can't believe I still haven't read Fellside. I look forward to your thoughts on Coco Butternut. I need to get back to reading Hap and Leonard. I went on a binge last year.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I am so tired though. I just wish this project was over. Our cabinets over the stove were the worst. I spent most of my weekend sanding and patching them. But they do like nice now :)
DeleteYou have such restraint to not request a bunch of books from Netgalley! I guess that means you will just have to read those new books you got in the mail! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a lot of luck with Netgalley lately so it's best I stay away ;)
DeleteThe cabinets look great! I need to read down my netgalley shelf. I think I have 5 titles to read so it shouldn't take long. Hope you love your new books.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. Netgalley stresses me out. I'm down to 2 now.
DeleteOur dogs got into the trash while we were at church. :-( We love them but how can they be so naughty?
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the cabinets! That is a big improvement and a lot of savings.
I am trying to stay away from NetGalley until I read a few more in my current queue.
The dog stories especially pull me in. Hope you enjoy all of your nice mix of books. Happy Reading!
Thanks Martha, I'll be painting and reading and hoping your dogs behave :)
DeleteI feel the same way about my cabinets. Yours look great.

ReplyDeleteENJOY your new kitchen AND your books.
Have a wonderful week.
