Illuminated!

My kitchen is fairly dark because light sources are these tiny little inset bulbs in the ceiling.  Not even legit light fixtures.  In the evenings (and 70% of the day in the winter) it’s a gloomy place to be; especially if you’re in the workspace corner.

Over the past week, Joey and my pops installed some under counter lighting which has really improved my life.

Here you see before:

You can’t really tell how dark and glooms it can get in here because Joey took this at like 11:30 this morning.  Mr. Sunshine was all up in my window’s business so it’s fairly cheerful right now.

The big takeaway I have from this photo is that I have GOT to get that cheesy scallop deal ripped out from above my sink and replace it with just a regular old board.

Country.  UGH.

Anyway, here’s my new and improved (and blindingly well let) workspace.

Looks much better, right?

(Oh look, I’m missing the 1/3 cup which should be hanging on its hook above the stove.  Wonder where that is…)

She’ll be a real big help, I’m sure.

We’re having the students over this evening to watch a movie, and Joey needs to get the lawn mowed before they descend upon the backyard.  We were sitting at the table drinking coffee, finishing breakfast and discussing the plans of the day.  We have Big Plans, Internet.  BIG PLANS.

Joey said, “I’m going to go take Analie and get changed into my work clothes.”

He returned with the baby….dressed in his work clothes.
