The Mid-Century Kitchen
when i bought my home this spring, i vowed that i would use my $8,000 first time home buyer credit to go back to school, pay my mom back and re-do the horrendous kitchen. going back to school - check. paid mom back - check. redo kitchen - .....
so the kitchen remodel is turning out to be a bigger task that i thought. why i thought it would be simple, i don't know. i tend to take on tasks that are much larger and more difficult i anticipate. "sure i can re-do the kitchen myself, how hard could it be?"
since i am certain i am not the only person in the world who does this, at least i hope i'm not, i've decided to chronicle the obsticles i encounter while trying to turn my relatively modern kitchen into a 1950's marvel.

Tuesday November 25 Spotting
to give you a little background, i walk dogs for a living. i've been doing it for a couple months now and am still not sure how i feel about it. i mean, i do have a college degree (that cost a lot of money) so it would be a little more rewarding if i was using it, but surprisingly enough, dog walking pays really well plus I get to be outside all day. that being said, Walking dogs is very solitary work and I spend a lot of time thinking or looking at my surroundings more closely than most people do. i walk the same routes every day and notice when something changes. which is why i was so excited today to see that they got new trash bags at the university of maryland's law campus. they're a really nice shade of seafoam, more of a smokey mint green. when i noticed them, i couldn't help but smile and thought to myself "how would i describe that color in words? it really isn't a seafoam, true seafoam is a little more..." and there it was. a woman walked past me in dictionary definition seafoam colored pants. sadly i did not have my camera. but i did have my camera last week when we got our first snow flurry. notice the seafoam houses in the background...
