Spoiled, yup, I think that I am
Today is our anniversary. Last night, I took Mac out to Pachamama’s for dinner: Spicy Peeky Toe Crab Layered Sushi, Exotic Mushroom and Fingerling Potato Pan Roast, Black Bean Roasted Breast of Duck, and a bottle of 2002 Stoller Vinyard Pinot Noir. Then we shared a Dark Chocolate-Caramel Tart for dessert with a Mochachino for me. Except for the bread*, the food was great! I can’t wait until the next special occasion to go back.
Now, for my present. Here is where the spoiled part comes in. Also, this is where Mac cheated, of sorts. The first anniversary is the paper anniversary. So, Mac printed out pictures of this, this and this. All of those items will be delivered in a little over a week. So, we are going to start work on our kitchen. Taking out the tile and peeling the wallpaper will be really time consuming and expensive. I’m going to cheat and paint over the wallpaper** and leave the tile. We are going to restain the cabinets, but only take off the doors and not the entire cabinet. We will pick out the paint today, and start tearing apart the kitchen. We are going to have to cut into the countertop because our current stove is a drop in and the new stove is freestanding.
We were also not in agreement about which color to paint the dining room/kitchen. Mac said last night, “paint it whatever color you want.”
I have enough chores to keep us busy for while, but I’ll have a bigger fridge, an oven that bakes evenly, all my burners working and a dishwasher that will actually get my dishes clean and not eat my glasses. Just in time for Christmas at our house.
**So that the next owners of our house can curse my name. Heh.
