Days 37 and 38 - the view from up here

Good morning everyone! The breakfast bar is IN! After a year, I can finally say I'm writing to you while sitting at my granite breakfast bar, laptop and coffee at hand. Bliss! The delivery happened yesterday morning, and it was very easy to install, more than I thought! The whole thing was done with minimal mess, in about 20 minutes.

I LOVE IT! I am writing to you from it now, but there's a slight problem. My parents gave us two bar stools - but theirs were used on the opposite side of their countertop, which is a different height than our bar. We need stools or chairs that are bar height. Therefore I'm sitting on a stack of three cookbooks. I look ridiculous, and have been laughed at by Dennis several times. Nevertheless, I'm happy, and the view from up here is lovely.

The rest of the weekend you ask? Done. House is clean, laundry is done, and it's time to relax for the rest of the day/evening. Dennis is making homemade red meat sauce - and I got a promise for a "tidy cave" entry about it later! I'm going to a little cooking when he's done. Just to get a jumpstart on the week. Ooooh, also - I'm going to pick out my clothes for the week again. Have you tried this yet? I didn't do it last week and my mornings were way more stressful! I recommend it highly!
