Baby It's Cold Outside...

Or should I say, "Heat Wave!" The weather in Kansas City over the last couple of weeks has been up and down on a daily basis. Take last week. We had days where the high was 3 degrees. Yes, 3. No snow, just sunny and cold. The next day, the cold front moves out, and it's 35 degrees. Building on that, the next day and it's now 60! A 60 degree day two days after a high of 3 simpy feels like summer's just around the corner! Not to be undone, a new cold front moved in, dumping a couple inches of snow and dropping the temperature back into the 20s. The next day ushered in highs in the 40s, melting all the snow and again feeling spring-like. My immune system has decided that it's had enough of the drastic up again/down again temps and is waving a white flag against the cold that's moved into my body. And let me confirm, having a cold while trying to finish a major remodel like we're in the final stages of isn't fun.

Last night we were supposed to get a lot done, but ended up only figuring out how to drill the holes in the top of the wall cabinets for the cabinet lighting we bought. We only have 4 holes to cut (as we are only doing this in the cabinets with glass fronts and glass shelves) but we made it through 1 cabinet before deciding it was time to call it a night. Tonight's Joe's late night at work, so we're hoping to finish the last three and get them hung before it's lights out.

And for the record, I did take pictures this morning. Unfortunately for you, though, the camera had been in the car over the weekend, so when I brought it inside, the lense fogged up. The resulting pictures look like you're seeing the kitchen through a haze. I've opted to wait until tonight to retake the pictures and post them so you can see the kitchen the way it really looks!
