Well, who knew? This year I have been discovering previously hidden talents that I possess. First it was pizza making, which expanded to include breadmaking. Now it is tiling. Granted, this is a genius talent that I will probably not be exploring further, as it is a messy talent that doesn’t get you hot, delectable bread at the end, but nevertheless it’s a nice talent to have.

So here is a before picture of our kitchen:

And here is an almost-after:

We have, since I took that after photo, grouted the backsplash and finished everything except for the finishing edge. But still. Vast improvement. And I have grout under my fingernails. Still.

Last night we went to George’s school fair and I managed to not win at the goldfish game, the ring-around-the-two-liter-of-Diet-Coke game, and the plant game. Hmmph. These are talents I do not possess. See, I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m not good at everything. It’s okay.

Got my ticket to visit Ellie. Just two months (ugh) til I get to see her again! Yay!
