4:00pm on a Friday afternoon

So it is Friday. FINALLY! And it is 4pm. One more hour! I can make it! I spent the past 3 hours straightening out some company credit card charges and I have to tell you, I've checked out. My brain is done with work for the rest of the day. Well, at least until my boss gets out of his meeting and starts asking me to do stuff. Unfortunately, he usually stays late on Friday afternoons. Which means.....yep! You guessed it! I get to stay late too. Last Friday, I was here until 5:45. Which isn't really late (ask my husband who works until 9 or 10pm almost the entire month of April). But for me, 5:45 on a Friday is not fun.
So I've been thinking a lot about my kitchen lately. I really REALLY want to go ahead with the renovations. But each time I look at our checking account (which is usually once a day...it doesn't change that often, I don't know why I'm so obsessed!) I know I need to wait. Then I go back and forth on whether or not I really want new cabinets. I mean, yes, our cabinets are disgusting. But half the people I talk to give me a stern lecture, sounding something like this: "Your cabinets are REAL wood. Why would you throw those away and replace them with cheep Ikea cabinets? Why don't you just paint them?" Yes, I know we could just paint them. But that just seems like so much work! Plus our cabinets are SO gross, that I really don't think painting would help. Even painting the insides. But on the other hand, if we DID keep the cabinets, that would save a ton of money, and I could keep my pink oven. I love that oven. I wish I could buy one of these pink refrigerators too. Super cute!

I love the blue cabinet in the background of picture 2. I've been thinking about going to Goodwill and picking out some ugly furniture and painting it. The Feminist Housewife (one of the blogs I stalk) painted a table recently, a table that is almost an exact replica of a table I bought from Goodwill when I was in college. I never thought to paint mine!

Well, it's almost 4:15 now. Hopefully I'll get out of here around 5pm. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
