Although it was a very busy day (by my standards), it was a very good day! First this morning we did the weekly grocery shopping and a few other errands. Then we had to hurry home for the handyman to install the stove at noon. (Finally!)
At 1pm Stacy, two of her adorable children, her sister and her son came down to visit. Nymphe (from Comments and SAHP's forum) and her two cutie pie sons also came over. The kids got along wonderfully, it was amazing. Satan definitely did not live up to her nickname (she was a perfect angel) and Fang was too cute for words. Kelly even tried to kiss him, I'd have given anything for a camera in my hands at that moment. Speaking of pictures, mine are woefully inadequate, ladies would you mind sending me copies of yours to katiefleck AT gmail.com? Thanks Nymphe for the baby fix, I could have snuggled him all afternoon! And sorry about the noise from the stove install.
So the stove is in but not very well. I know, I know, it's never enough with me, is it? *winks* They chipped my fake butcher block countertop (we weren't planning to replace it either, grrrr...) and the way they ran the electric pushes the stove out an extra 3 inches from the wall (yeah, huge gap behind the stove). Now I'm not an electrician (I just play one when it comes to replacing electrical switches, hehe) but they could have put the plug part in the huge empty spot behind the corner lazy susan cabinet and then only had the wire to run behind it. Plus they didn't level the stove, it wobbles a little towards one of the corners. *sigh* I didn't notice any of this until after they had left (they did mention the countertop chips) because I was still entertaining. However it does at least work...
