Object Of My Desire

A restaurant grade range. Not that I have any room for it in this kitchen. And I'm truly not interested in the many thousands of dollars it would take to remodel the kitchen to include this type of range and a larger fridge etc. Less expensive to sell the house and buy something with a new range already in it. Because, as my friend K says, there's nothing wrong with the custom kitchen I have right now. It's just not MY custom design.

This little piece is less than 8 by 10 inches. I have another with an Airstream travel trailer but couldn't find it. That one is my real favorite. All silver and compact. Ready to roll.

Yesterday's weather was fantastic. 47 degrees, clear blue sky and sunshine warm enough to get me to sit in the sun, sans sweaters and fleece. Recharging the batteries of my soul. Riley chewed sticks and cooled off in the vernal pond. A good day.

Later I reheated the leftover slices of breaded fried eggplant and topped them with pizza sauce and Provolone cheese and served them, golden brown and melted, on top of leftover pasta. I also made salads with whatever was in the veggie bin. A good dinner. Then we watched television. NCIS, Lost & Good Wife. No book reading.

Tomorrow I have an interview at another retail greenhouse/garden center about a 30 minute drive from home. In filling out the job search log for unemployment, I did manage to get one interview. Tomorrow is the day. The job site is near the Freeport Cafe so G and I will be having a late breakfast or early dinner there before or after the interview. Life sometimes gets complicated, just when you don't want it to be.

Today the sky is overcast, I am saddened by deaths in families of my blog readers, introspective
and quiet today. It may rain. It may snow. But the sun won't be shining.

The next Colorplay set of colors has been published. German car colors from the 80's. Brown, orange, red, yellow and green. Chartreuse green rather than the pea soup green the Germans
preferred. We had a milk chocolate BROWN Mercedes as a company car. Ugh! The exact "tone" and intensity of the colors isn't specified so I can modify the colors to my own tastes. I have a bottle of bleach on the sink counter and some brown and gold yardage on the steps leading to the second floor. I think I will splash bleach on some things. This will be quite a challenge. For me. Color wise.

Riley is asking to go out. I need to have some breakfast. Bleach some fabric (see if it will react to the bleach) and write in my paper journal. Make a paper collage? A Doodle? Something.

Nice collage yesterday and this block is great. That fabric is Yum.
Love those professional ranges. My friend T has one. With James married soon-it will just be us two so I hardly need that anymore. Nice dream though. Our weather is warm as well. Snow showers mean nothing at this point-gone in an hour due to warm temps. Neighbors forsythia bush is blooming. Something to make me smile just looking at it.
I hope the interview turns out the way that pleases you the most.

Can't wait to see what comes of the Colorplay selection of colors. They are really not a favorite here but all of these women(you too) are so talented I have no doubt that wonderful, innovative things will evolve from it.
