Happy Friday, Chi-town! What a beautiful day, I sure hope this weekend is just as nice!

SLO..Big, big, huge congratulations to you!!!! Way to go!!! You need to take some pictures for all of us to see...

GEFFRIC...speaking of pictures, your kitchen pictures look great..nice remodeling job (and I like the fur-baby in the pictures, too! )

BUNCHKIN...do you have a lot of neighbors at your block parties? Does the village close off the street when you have it?

MAC..congrats on your college son's graduation, as well. Sounds like it may have been a little rough for you..you are in my thoughts

KIM...I'm sorry the healing is going slowly for your husband...I know I've said this before, but please remember to take care of yourself, too.

A special hello to all of Chicago...enjoy the weekend!

ok, green light out debbie. time to hit the hay.......

Let's try this again from Photobucket

pretty kitty.
i'm a cat person also

yep that is pergo.. they installed it over the exisiting floor ( not sure if that is how it is supposed to be done) and the boards just lock in place.. it took him 1/2 day to install..

i had to go back and forth 5 times for the before and after views.
beautiful kitchen!!

[KimRaye]

Kim - Thanks for the congrats
I'm sorry your poor DH is home until June 5th. Is he still in pain? I will send lots and lots of PD his way

Kim I hope all goes well for your DH at his next appt. Although it would be nice for him to spend some time with Kelly too!!

KIM...I'm sorry the healing is going slowly for your husband...I know I've said this before, but please remember to take care of yourself, too.

Thanks Sandy! Continued Congrats on getting your store opened! DH has pain some days. We can't really determine what causes it, specifically. Activity is probably the reason tho.

Thanks Nicole! I agree that even a week home after Kelly gets off would be great! It might just happen tho. Were you in my 'hood today, by ANY chance? I saw a woman today with kids that weren't yours but, my gosh, SHE looked just like you!

Thanks Donna! I'm doing fine tho.

since you posted waaaaay after i did last night, you didn't have a red light on then....

ok, green light out debbie.

mac, my light should never be green, no matter what time I post. I have 'invisible mode' because I leave my 'puter on 24/7 and I don't log out of the DIS, so I don't want people to think I'm ON and HERE when I'm not. I'm old and lazy - invisible was easier.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

 

[HERSEY]

Geffric very nice kitchen. Your cat looks similar to my Athena. I put down Prego-like laminate not to difficult once you get the hang of it. My friend's husband and I did it for the kitchen, dining room and living room.

Kim Glad to hear you are doing well. Is Kelly in countdown mode? Alex
is only cause he will be a big dog next year. Middle school you know

paintnolish Was that rements of an old well or current one.

Slo WOW your opening is just around the corner.

I'm forgetting what I wanted to say. The dogs got me up to early. I'll be back after I have more coffee.

 

[slo]

Kevin is staying home from Indy today so he and his dad can make the countertops for the store. That will be great to have that done, because the showroom will be finished then


Bunchkin - I'm sorry you are having problems with your goofy neighbor again I'll never forget when you said they had porn (or something like that) on the tv at night when the kids could see it What did they do for you and Tony to confront them?
**I will definitly let you know when the store is open, but you can come before that too. I have 75% of my wood samples, and I am now waiting on my matboard samples, metal frame samples, and the wood frame samples from this company I'm getting the mat and metal samples from. Once I have those, I can take orders

Becky - Thanks for the congrats!!!
**You should get yourself a GPS - I think you would really like it.

geffric - I love your pictures!!!!!
**Is that the kitty you got after your other cat passed away? Very cute!!!
**The kitchen looks amazing!!!! Congrats on getting that done - it's a HUGE project. I love everything about it!!!!

paint - I'm glad your home inspection went well I hope those homeowners fix the one problem for you so you don't have to worry about that.

Donna - Thanks for the congrats!!!
**I do have some pictures in the camera, and I will post them after I take the final pictures of the store. This way you all can see the project from start to finish

Mac - I hope you were able to finally get to sleep last night

Kim - Thanks for the continued congrats
**Does the green light go off when you aren't online? If not, then my green light is on all the time too

HERSEY - The store opening is just around the corner I'm so nervous about getting everything up and running in time.



Well, I gotta run and get myself ready for the day.
I was going to meet my friend today, but I'm now meeting him tomorrow. I figured it was easier that way, because then we are not tripping over Kevin and his dad. The store is a decent size, but it's not that big either So, since I"m not meeting Matt today, I'm going to do alot of house cleaning today - I need to get an early start


Have a great day today everyone!!!

10,000th

Congrats on your 10,000th post!! I've never been a really frequent poster. Back in the old days, I might post a dozen or so messages a day. So, I would do a slow and steady path towards 1,000 posts. It seemed like every time I'd hit it, Alex would upgrade the boards and I'd lose a bunch of them. LOL!! For a few years, I just accepted that the board upgrades were for the sole purpose of screwing up my post count.

i see your light as gray blue. i use safari maybe that is why.
i am also in the invisible mode but my light shows up as red.


if this was the only thing in life i could not figure out, i would be happy

 

[macraven]

pictures don't show how nicked up and scratched and in general bad shape the cabinets were..

So this is the remodeled kitchen

geffric, you know those pictures that are in the sunday paper where they show you two of them? they say, look at the second picture and name the 6 things that are missing from picture one.

i kept doing that this morning and for pic #2, it has a phone on the counter but not in pic #1.

ok, what do i win?

[geffric]

GEFFRIC...speaking of pictures, your kitchen pictures look great..nice remodeling job (and I like the fur-baby in the pictures, too! )

thanks.. yes that is the "new" furbaby " she is such a sweetie

Geffric very nice kitchen. Your cat looks similar to my Athena. I put down Prego-like laminate not to difficult once you get the hang of it. My friend's husband and I did it for the kitchen, dining room and living room..

WOW I am so impressed that you did it yourself.. you are so handy..

Congrats on your 10000Th post

Congrats SLO. When does the store open? Soon isn't ?

Good evening all. Just a fly by HI!!! Trying to say hello before the boards go down. Not too bad at work today. Just long.
Bunchkin, did you go see Shrek today? How was the movie?
Geffric, great job on the kitchen. Love the floors.
Well, off to bed I go. Early day tomorrow again. At least on the weekends there are no lunches to prepare and i don't have to worry about the kids and the dog.
Night

 

[HERSEY]

Good morning everyone. Wow was yesterday a great day or what! I worked in the yard, got almost everything planted. While I was cleaning up I forgot 1 lone plant I was too tired to plant it. Today I'll go and plant the poor thing.

Bunchkin If you went to Shrek how was it? I've hear mixed reviews

 

[slo]

The weather guy just said the forecast was going to be the opposite of yesterday What is that suppossed to mean? I guess I will soon find out. I wanted to do alot of planting today, because my friend now can't come to the store until Wednesday. I really need to get these flowers in the ground


HERSEY - Forgetting a plant is something I have done many times too. I normally see it after the gloves are off and everything is put away. I hope your able to get it planted today.

Crissup - Thanks for the congrats!!!!

Mac - Thanks for the congrats!!!

geffric - Thanks for the congrats!!!
**The official store opening is June 11th, but I am having a ribbon cutting and reception June 8th in the evening (this I'm stressing over the most I have to get invitations made, plan how much food to have, plan on what's going into goodie bags, make a lot of phone calls, and get the store perfect for it. )

Debbie - Good luck with your ebay stuff

Tiggerrnnnnn -



Well, I gotta run and get some housecleaning done. I was going to do it yesterday, but I ended up being at the store all day I'll talk to you all later!!!!

Have a good day!!!!
