How Would You Fix This?

Did everyone have a great weekend? The weather has been amazing, so we spent quite a bit of time outside. I also watched the premier episode of Downton Abbey Season 4, available here.

I won't tell you anything, but I will say that once some of your favorite characters leave, things never seem to be the same.

Let's talk kitchens. I was stalking a few Florida homes on Zillow, and I ran into one that was semi appealing....great location, nice street, good flow....and then I was hit in the face with this.

The Kitchen. I believe this home has sold, so this is a hypothetical question....

How would you fix this kitchen if you were on a budget. Obviously, if money were no object, we could gut it. 

Go for it, what would you do?

Do you ever look at a home and redesign it in your head?

 

Schedules & Links

School has finally started for both my kids. We are always the last to get out of school, and the last to start up again. Next summer will be really short for them because they get out at the end of June in NJ and the Florida schools start back up in August.

I like being on a schedule and I actually think my kids do better on one, too. I'm going to be thinking of summer while I fill out the endless stack of paperwork that comes home the first week of school.

I thought you might enjoy some television talk...

If you haven't seen the preview for Downton Abbey, here it is. 

The sneak peak for Revenge is also out and Emily is in a wedding dress!?!

The Scandal Season 3 promo is out. Looks like a great year for this, too.

I'm also looking forward to Bethenny's Talk Show. It's filming in NY and you can get tickets here.

Please help me out before you go, what's for dinner in your house?

I hate that question.

Have a great weekend!

 

Binge Watching Television

Without a doubt, I am certain your weekend was far more interesting than mine. I had every intention of clearing out all sorts of areas around my home. In fact, I was certain my paper shredder would start smoking from overheating. 
I had it all figured out....I would painstakingly go through all the old files my husband hoards. I would assure him that there is no possible way we would need to know which antibiotics our daughter took twelve years ago!
I would show him how we are never going to use those old cell phones because they don't even make that brand anymore.

None of this happened. Not because I did not have the never....I have plenty of that... Because I read Taylor's post and was reminded of Downton Abbey.

Yes, brace yourselves...I was one of the three people on earth who had not seen the series. I decided to try an episode or two out.
It was definitely interesting until this guy showed up.

And then it became 'must see tv'.

After this encounter in episode 3, Mary had some real problems to deal with.

All I could think about was..."What about Mary?" 

I am happy to report that I spent the entire weekend finding out. I became obsessed with these two.

Same girl, different guy....we all had a little 'Mary' in us, when we were single and dating...didn't we?

I finished Season 2, and left them like this.

I have one more season to watch, and then wait endlessly until January 2014 when Season 4 arrives.

If you have never seen it, or want to revisit it for free...this site has all the episodes. 

I haven't watched this much binge television since this one

Have you seen either of them? Do you binge watch?
