kendra.e's Profile

yay! I have been looking for a small grill and both the Eva Solo grills, but am too cheap to get them. The Charcoal Bucket Grill looks good, but I worry it would get too hot for our deck. We used to have a Weber grill, but we got rid of it when we moved, and again, not really wanting to catch the wooden deck on fire.

I have been looking at the Cobb grill, which claims it does not get too hot to touch http://www.cobbq.com/shopexd.asp?id=63

but my neighbor upstairs swears her big green egg is the way to go.

has anyone tried either of these?

I am not really finished, but I have to say this has def been a great thing. We have had dinner every night at the table, so finally getting kitchen chairs really has transformed how we talk over dinner. I also have to say while I think I denied having any problems working together with mr. kendra.e, we have had a lot of discussions about what kind of furniture we each like and hate and are still working that out, but it is kinda nice to have a place we both love. I'm going to try to post some pictures of the awesome room this weekend, as it is right now. Not perfect or finish, but much better than when we started!

muh! I don't know what we are supposed to be doing, but clearly we aren't doing it! I'm still hanging in there and while I won't be done by next week, we should be pretty darn close. We spent the day putting together furniture, then taking 6 boxes of books to a thrift store, and then tomorrow we'll sort through some more stuff. I'm so excited, even if I am not on schedule!

Not that pretty but we used this thing from the kids dept at Ikea for a long time to separate the bottles and paper and kept twine and bags in the bottom. You can get dif size bins, and in dif colors.

I saw these pencils on another blog a couple weeks ago and thought it was neat idea, like I after I'm gone I still might be involved in writing a bunch of grocery lists or a term paper or a great novel or bad poetry if anyone still used pencils. I would also enjoy being a bunch of pencils next to the terminals at the libary so people could use me to scrawl down the numbers. I also would not mind being used for doodling.

I feel a bit behind and stuck, and am going to be away part of this coming month and really need to get some stuff done.

Stuff that is done:

-put feet on kitchen table legs, then ordered a dif set that looks a bit better and put those on.
-made dinner every! day and sat at table (I actually forgot one night and started eating at my desk, and then saw mr.kendra e was eating at the table and felt a bit bad)
-ordered futon cover and blanket for awesome room
-put some placemats on kitchen table and got new lamp for it off ebay
-moved tile table outside to cafe gazebo
-spent 3 hours on friday afternoon sorting through papers and organzing them into boxes. Managed to find the one piece of paper I have been looking for for 3 months.

That's it really! The dumbest thing was that we went to ikea yesterday to get some furniture; I seriously can't stand the crowds, and tried not to get distracted by things I don't need. I haven't bought any big furniture there in awhile and when we got back to the basement warehouse bit realized we had to go back up to the dept and get printouts for some furniture, and I just could not take it and decided just to get it online since we would have to have it delivered anyhow. Got home and discovered those things are no longer for sale online, gah! I think I might just try to get mr.kendra.e to go back together because I don't want to spend any more time dreading future trips to ikea. Did get some lingonberry jam tho and some cookies.

I just took a break from the awesome room to deal with the two boxes of clothes in my closet. I am finally getting rid of a sweatshirt I bought on vacation when I turned 21, the sweater dress I wore to my 10th reunion, and a hands across america tee shirt.

ARobin, that's it! Thank you so much!
