Thursday Kitteh Blog (12/31/2009)

Whee! It's the last kitteh blog of the year! I know that a lot of people had a rough year and are really excited for the new year. Me, my year wasn't so bad. Seriously, I can't complain a lot, so I won't.

It did take a while for today's photo opportunity to present itself, but eventually this evening, it came along in the form of a new piece of furniture in my kitchen/dining area. I've been wanting a baker's rack to put the microwave on and have cookbook storage, and today mom found one marked at 50% off it's regular price ($99 from $199) in the J. C. Penney flyer, so off we went. (On sale through Sunday 01/03/10 for anyone who's looking for one of these).

In this picture, Meredith is examining the box which is on the table.

'Stache needs to see things from a much closer piont of view. She might be near-sighted or merely nosier than her sister; it's hard to say.

A little while and some effort later, the assembled (actually unfolded and bolted, it was easy) and loaded baker's rack in my kitchen, or technically kitchen adjacent.

I actually already had a good amount of counter space, but moving the microwave onto the rack gave me a crapton more. If I were so inclined, I might be able to make a groom's cake in the shape of a snake (you get bonus points if you get the movie reference for that).

The breadmaker on the bottom actually belongs to mom. It's here on a temporary visa while her kitchen is being remodeled. Once it's gone, I'll probably start looking for some small, modular wine racks so that I can use the large space at the bottom for storage for the vino.

That's all for now. See you next year!
