Poor Bird

I got this in an email:

'This will truly drive you nuts. Check it out.

This morning we found a bird trapped behind the lace curtains of our garage window. K freed him quickly, but it was horrifying to think how long he had been there. M sometimes leaves the garage door open. Poor thing was so stressed he dirtied the window with his droppings.

I went down to Lowe's Home Improvement store to look at bathroom cabinets and discovered that special orders take about 4 weeks. It's sort of like ordering a kitchen, you match up the modular cabinets according to the length you need. So you choose your style of cabinet, and your finish colour (always learning). There's also mirrors, and lights. I like the new cultured marble, granite and stone countertops, and they may be less expensive than the real thing. I should go down to a real bathroom store one of these days, maybe to look at the light fixtures. We also have to choose tiles. I loved the travertine stone tiles at the hotel in Jamaica.

I've been cooking a lot of chicken breast this week, trying to eat less red meat. Apparently some study has shown that people who eat red meat don't live as long!

  1. Ha! It guessed right the first time (but I clicked on the number). It didn't guess the next five times I tried it though (though I was trying to make it guess wrong--bad sport I am!).

    Poor little bird. I am glad you were able help it back out. Think of the story it must be telling his friends. "Yeah, and like, I was totally stuck in this place, and yeah, there were some people who were, like, totally stressing me out... yeah, right? Yeah."

    Can't wait to see what your new bathroom will look like! Decisions, decisions. :-)

  3. I know I heard the same thing about the red meat as well. I dont eat very much but boy do I enjoy a steak every now and then. I could never be totally vegetarian. I dont eat much chicken either now and tend to eat a lot more fish. No pastas, rice, potato either.

  4. Lilly can't believe you don't eat much chicken either, you're more vegetarian than you think. No rice, pasta...you must then eat some bread?
