On Tuesday evening

Goodness, we've got a lot of stuff. Several of my household have commented on how clean the window over the kitchen sink looks with the shelf down and the curtain gone.  Sadly for them, I like lots of clutter, and while clean-and-tidy is nice, it's not usually the way I roll.  The shelf will go back up, and while the former curtain will be re-done, I'll still cover the window...maybe this time with lace.

And third son just called from the restaurant.  They're getting rid of cans of (still good) white corn---6 pounds/can, and he wanted to know if I wanted any.  So funny.  Of course I was just laughing hysterically while he laughed in the phone.  I couldn't stop laughing, just thinking of putting huge cans of corn SOMEWHERE.  He said he'd bring home two.  Still, it makes me crack up. Anyway, they considered putting the corn into the grits (not a food I generally eat) and decided to not change the recipe.  Where the heck I'll put them, I just don't know.

Just wish I'd gotten more done today.  Did put yesterday's cabinets back in order last night, and found the shelf paper.  It's such a pretty green and white. Concentrated on the right-hand upper cabinet this morning, and got the bottom shelf painted inside, and also the trim around the window.  The upper cabinet shelves will have to wait until tomorrow.  Had to take fourth son out after lunch, after taking third (corn) son to work.  He wanted to shop, so we shopped.  Or rather, he shopped and I followed along.  I'm not much of a shopper, being more of a run-into-the-store-grab-what-I-need-and-come-back-out sort of person.  Plus we got groceries.  I must've been in a self-abusive mood.  Good grief.  Way too much shopping!

But all is well.  The kitchen will look worse before it gets better---isn't that what folks say?  But it'll be clean and you can't beat that.
