waaaaining

August 25, 2005

It is *pouring* rain. Sometimes it stops to just sprinkle, but then it revs up again to really dump. My poor bike is out there getting drowned. I need to remember to bring it inside. And work myself up to going for a walk in the waaaaain.

Weigh-in day today, nothing exciting for me, but Ted has lost 24 pounds since the beginning of April, and 41 since his highest weight. I’m very impressed. :) He has, the last couple of days, suddenly been feeling skinny. (Svelte is his word of preference.) He has a t-shirt we got in Hawaii that says, “Never trust a skinny chef,” and it makes him ever-more smug as he shrinks. :)

The electrician came over this morning to put up our new lights. The light in the kitchen used to look like this:

And now looks like this:

I think we need a couple more lights on the track to brighten it up some more, but as Shaun said, it looks much homier and less industrial now, so I think that’s good. The ceiling obviously still needs to be repainted and stuff, but I think it’ll look nice when it’s done. I hope it’s enough light. *fuss*

Um. What else do I know? Not very much, really…

  2. Shaun’s correct. And if you paint that ceiling with a semi-gloss white ceiling paint, it’ll reflect even more light. They have this cool ceiling paint that goes on pink and dries white. That way you don’t miss spots.

  3. Yup. I never thought I’d say it, but Shaun is definitely right on that one.

    And so’s yer mah, though I *did* think I’d say that one. Yer mah is often correct.

  4. You could also order those little spot lights for under the cabinets that they sell thorugh IKEA for areas what get less light (like corners).

    Looks good, though. :)

  5. I’m with Mony — undercabinet lights now, so you can have light exactly where you need it when prepping. And then maybe a pendant over the peninsula.

  6. Yep, I’m with Robert and Mony. Pendant lights are so cool! Lovely kitchen ;)
