Well, what I am doing today is a project that started last Thusday. And it all started with looking for some dishes. We have some old "Hull" dishes. I think that is the name of them. Well, I was looking for them and, got to noticing the kitchen cabinets. Awful. Dark brown, just awful. So. I got some varnish stripper and started removing the 1000 coats of varnish and stain. Cleaned them right down to the beautiful wood that lay under all that ugliness.
Now- 3 days later, I'm applying a clear finsh on them. And, I must say they look 1000 times better. And the funny thing is... I still haven't found those dishes!

This sounds like the story of my life. LOL
I start doing one thing, and end up doing something else-- often a dozen other things or more in a day-- and never finish the original thing I started out to get done.
To answer Barb's question-- I've stripped all the beds, washed quilts & sheets...
And then got started again on the never ending job of getting my office/homeschool classroom organized. I have discovered that the rubbermaid items I purchased for organizing stuff in aren't going to be enough, so I've made a list of the other items I think will be enough to complete the job... and in an hour or so, since the snow has all just about melted, I'm heading to town to pick them up so I can hopefully finish this job today and get started on another room. I've been working on it now for over a week...and getting sidetracked doing other things in the house--My goal today is to finish this room.
We got a bunch of snow last night. The light kind that blows and drifts easily.
And I have a funeral video that I needed to finish (just got it done). So far today I am still sitting here in my robe, not even dressed for the day. Maybe I won't even bother. It's that kind of day. You know how it is.
I've done several loads of laundry and have a bunch yet to go.
Justin is working at McDonald's. Keith is bowling on his league. And Walt is sitting here sleeping in the chair near me
Renda, I'm eating left-over pizza for lunch. Our local pizza place makes a Philly Steak Pizza that is to-die-for! No red pizza sauce. Hooray! They use ranch dressing, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, onions, muchrooms, green peppers and steak. Mmmmmmmm

I just woke up after being up late last night because I'm working midnight shifts tonight and tomorrow night. I'm also going in to do the supper med pass for today and tomorrow as well. So I'm just reading here until it's time to get ready then I'll be back about 5 to read and post some more.

Fresh starts are always a good thing! Might just need some new dishes to go in those new cabinets now.
What are "hull" dishes?
