8:50am
I got an email from PepBoys saying my
rebate was on it's way. Here is what it said:
"was mailed on 01/07/2011. Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for your check to arrive"
Makes you wonder if it's being sent
by pony express!!
------------------------------------
10:00am
Eating breakfast then will head out
to the train show at the convention center.
Sounds like fun with all this snow!
Taking my camera along since
we haven't been to this show before :0)
We gave Christopher a choice, either
the train show or monster trucks and
he chose the trains, go figure.
Today I'm going to throw some
homemade chili in the crock pot
when we get home. Sounded good
on a cold day!
I also have another inspiration for
another jelly bean cupcake.
Here's a hint:
.
.
2:40pm
Back home and got chili in the crock.
2 cans red kidney beans
1/2 of a large can leftover crushed tomatoes
jar of salsa (green & red bell peppers, tomatoes & onions)
1/2 onion diced
1/3 - 1/2 container V8 vegetable juice
1 pound bob evans maple sausage
chili powder
salt & pepper
Serve with shredded sharp cheddar cheese
& oyster crackers.
-------------------------
Train Show
We had to park about 2 city blocks from the
convention center to get to the train show.
The truck said it was 19 degrees out
and that didn't include wind chill, BRRR-
BRRR and double BRRRR!!!

Kendra, since you are the only one
that has seen my home...Whaddya think?
I had always wanted to see what
our living area would look like if our
kitchen walls were knocked down
and made into a more open floor plan.
I found a photo of a house like ours
that has those walls removed.
It's a house on our street for sale.
Doesn't it look so much more spacious?
I don't know if I would like the long
counter where it is. I was thinking more
of maybe an island in the middle of the kitchen
with storage cabinets underneath.
This way you would still have two ways
to access the kitchen instead of just one.
So imagine the cabinets pushed over
more into the kitchen and a little shorter in length.
It would give the dining room more space
because it's too small as it is now with our table.
And hey lookie, there are hardwood floors
underneath this carpet. Everyone keeps
saying they have hardwood in their
homes on the street.
Why is it my honey can't get the same
visual as me? Isn't that how it usually works?
He's afraid I'll loose cupboard space.
What cupboard space would I be losing
I have no upper cabinets on the walls
I want removed.
I know I am thinking too much at the moment
but got excited when I saw photos that
showed another home with the walls removed
which showed there was no load bearing walls
to worry about!
It's just a vision so who's to say if it would
ever be done. I'm sure everyone thinks
about what they would do different about
there house.
