Grrr...I say GRRRRR!!!!



Okay I am grrrrr..ing because I just talked to the cabinet people after I had to email them again to get someone to call me that was supposed to call me. Anyway, the conversation basically went like this.... When are you and Ryan free to come for an appointment because we don't have your kitchen design drafted up but that doesn't take long. This guy tells me he has to talk to his drafting department to see if they can get it done by monday or tuesday of next week. Keep in mind that I was originally told that we would be done in 5 weeks. You may be wondering when the 5 week deadline is done....ya you guessed it! 5 weeks is next tuesday....friggin cabinet people! He then calls back and leaves me a message saying that he can't meet until Wednesday and that we are looking like we will have the cabinets the first week in november. NOVEMBER!!!!!!! I know that it is only about 2 weeks that it has been pushed out ...but no apologies...nothing from this guy (which was nice btw) and he told me that I was the "squeaky wheel" in a joking sarcastic tone. He hasn't seen squeaky yet. I WILL be his worst nightmare if he doesn't get our friggin cabinets in now. I am so past the point of being patient and nice with everyone (as you can all tell.... I am at my breaking point). The kitchen has been completely removed, gone, none existent, zilch, zippo.... for probably almost 2 months. We eat out or get take out for every meal. Sorry for such a negative and ornery post but I needed to vent so that I won't yell at the cabinet guy. The only thing I wish they would of done is let me know that we weren't going to hit the 5 week deadline....I guess there are some communication problems between some of the groups at that company. LAME LAME LAME... I wish I had my cabinets in now... I don't want to wait any longer.

Okay I know I just did a post similar to this one but unless you all want to hear about my house again then this is what you get. :) I will post soon enough about the house I am just too lazy and tired these days to get the pictures off of the camera.

Okay here are 7 random things about me. Enjoy my random-ness.


1.I eat ice cream with a fork. It is not a make or break situation….if there is only a spoon in which I must eat my ice cream then so be it but I would definitely prefer to eat it with a fork. Now here is my reasoning…. If you eat it with a spoon there is always some ice cream that gets stuck/frozen to the spoon which takes extra effort to get it out.

2.I am in the process of trying to see if one of my kitties (Tipsy) is smart enough to be an outside kitty. She is driving me nuts being inside and begs constantly to go outside…but I am afraid that she will have a hard life outside…you know cars and other mean cats and all.

3.I love love love Halloween….it seriously is one of my most favorite holidays…mainly because you get lots of candy and get to decorate your house in way cute Halloween stuff which includes lots of skulls which Ryan likes. Plus there isn't all of the hype that x-mas usually has about gifts. I like Christmas don’t get me wrong but I have always had a special place in my heart for Halloween.

4.We have about a billion cars at our house right now. We have 3 daily drivers and then 5 others that don’t drive that will be restored one day including my new little Austin Healey…hooray for me. :) I know I am spoiled.

5.I swear I am getting carpal tunnel from painting sooooo much. I painted my kitchen and all of the trim/casing for the house this weekend. The following morning I had a hard time moving my wrist. The worst part of that is that I am not finished painting. Ugh I still have one more coat to paint in the kitchen and then the remaining base boards for almost the entire house. Wish me luck that my wrists don’t fall off.

6.Like my friend Tiffany….I fall asleep to almost every movie that I watch not in the theaters. If I am in the theaters I would say that I have about 95% chance of not falling asleep. Now if I am watching any movie new or old if I am at my house I am always asleep about 30 min into the movie. I try so hard to stay awake but it just does not work.

7.The last random thing about me is that I am excited for the snow to come so that I can go snowboarding with my hubby. Ry got a new board this year so it will be very fun this year. I am actually getting good enough that he doesn't have to wait for me every few hundred yards…he only has to board slower than normal now. Which means that I am improving because is actually a pretty okay boarder…hooray for me!
