Work today has been insane. It's warming up, so everyone is calling in to get their a/c's checked. It's not even that hot yet, but I guess that doesn't really matter to them. It amazes me how angry people will get when they're a little bit uncomfortable... *sigh*...
The Snooks' kitchen is coming along nicely (and quickly!). I have pictures from the whole process, so I'll try to post them soon... I keep meaning to, but I keep forgetting :P. When I got home last night, the cabinets were all installed, the island was put together, and it looked like they were ready to put the appliances in. I think all that's left is for them to vent the range hood, install the granite countertops, appliances (hopefully today), tile backsplash, cabinet trim, and just a few other finishing touches with paint, lights, etc. It sounds like kind-of a lot when I write it out like that, but they've done quite a bit of work in there already. I think it's going to look pretty nice when it's done :). It makes me want a house of my own to fix up! I'm sure that'll change once I actually get a house, though ;).
I saw my first scorpion yesterday when I was getting ready for work. It was on the floor in the basement. I freaked out a little, because I was getting dressed in the dark and I could barely see it. I yelled, Jason woke up, then he jumped out of bed and killed it for me. It was probably only about an inch in size, but it was still freaky. The spiders down there are a whole different story... those things are HUGINORMOUS!!! The last one I killed had about a 3" wingspan and that's not exaggerating. Compared to them, killing smaller ones are a walk in the park, but I still tiptoe around the bathroom... and pretty much everywhere else in the basement, just because I don't want to get close to one. I think they're wolf spiders and I don't know where they come from, but I really hope they don't crawl into our stuff in boxes and come to our house with us. Bleh... *shudder*.
Well, I apologize for a not-so-interesting post, but it's about all I can think of right now. Hope you all have a great day :).
