What a good day. Okay so last night, I heard back from Leslie, yes another Leslie, my customer service rep at the publisher about my files. She said I did fabulous loaded them correctly and if there are no mistakes she will be sending me my proof by Wednesday. Now I am starting to get excited. We went to the house today to do some work. My brother and father came down to help. My brother brought his dump truck, yes I have a brother with a dump truck he is an arborist and so needs one for his business and together with them and four friends we emptied the house of all the debris we have been collecting. We took out the old kitchen so now the big dreaming has started on what the new one will be like. We also lifted all the old tiles. What a job that was. There I sat on the floor a hammer in one hand a chisel in the other, lifting these old tiles, hard work, dirty work, but it is finally all out. So literally now the finishing jobs can start. We decided today to run our new hardwood right into the new kitchen so I will have hardwood in my kitchen! We stopped on the way home to look at new tiles, backsplash tile, and counter tops. Saw some beautiful travertine, marble, and granite, it is going to be hard to pick. And tonight we are both tired and have decided it is going to be all us time. No house talk, no work on the cookbook, website or advertising distribution lists, just us and left overs for dinner. Whatever we can scrounge in the cupboards is dinner tonight. Somewhat ironic I suppose considering I just finished a cookbook last night but sometimes leftovers are fine and being together is more important than cooking a meal. Taking a break from everything and trying to unwind and relax after the last three weeks. I need it, he needs it, we need it!
