First off, we celebrated Eric's and Paige's birthday on Friday. I don't have any pictures but Eric wanted a Key Lime Pie so I tried a new recipe I found on Pinterest. I don't have any pictures but it's definitely a keeper. I guess that's my excuse to make it again. I need pictures. I made a cheesecake for Paige, no new recipe there, just the one Dodo always made. We went out to eat and then came home for dessert.
That kitchen faucet I ordered (and even paid for faster shipping) before Christmas that's been sitting here since around December 24th? It's not sitting in a box anymore.
The old one came out easier than expected. Not that it should have been difficult but, I know how things go around here. There was very little foul language during the installation. And the uneven holes in the granite that I was worried about? We were able to adjust the deck plate a little to help.
Oh, there is a soap dispenser taking the place of the old sprayer and there is a bottle of Softsoap right there. I forgot to pick up a refill jug at the store.
Guess what else was delivered and assembled? The rocking chair.
The instructions started off a little demanding. I must? Really?
But look at me, they probably wanted me to open this packet at the ziploc end too.
Well they showed me. I had to read the instructions... several times, and then I had to get Cosme to come in and read them too. I finally got it done.

Oh, and I did one more thing. The new faucet inspired me to call someone to come look at the dishwasher. They're coming today and it ISN'T Sears. I hope it's not going to be another $400. I was already burned once. Anyway, I'm hoping it'll help out with me staying on the right track of cooking instead of picking up. There's only one way to find out.
I checked off a few other things over the weekend but I'll share that tomorrow. It wasn't anything big, just little things. I didn't do laundry so that's what I'm working on now.
