A Kitchen Behemoth

I am going to try a new tactic to help me be productive today. The kitchen MUST be finished today. Who can cook when the kitchen looks like this? NOBODY! The problem until now has been the cabinet space. As I explained to the girl in Home Depot last night, they made the kitchen look really nice for a cheap apartment. I was completely taken in by the pretty colors and nice looking countertop, not to mention a garbage disposal AND a dish washer! We'll take it! However, if you look closely at the layout you'll no doubt see immediately that the only normal sized cabinet is under the sink. Who wants to store pots and pans under the sink?! So, all I could do was wander around, lost, for two whole weeks saying "but I don't have anywhere to PUT it when I take it out of the box!"

Enter my new best friend: the Behemoth! We found her at Home Depot last week and finally were able to buy her last night. Yes, Dad, she DID fit into my Fit! Sort of. We won't go into the details of how because it was a little dangerous and left me praying that no police officers would get behind us during our 1.5 mile drive home! (They didn't!) She was even light enough that I was able to help get her into the house! Anyway, I now have somewhere to put my stuff so it is off to the kitchen. It is tempting to continue wasting away the time the way I have been for about two weeks. So, I am taking before and after pictures. I am posting this post this morning at about 9:45 my time and am hoping to post the after pictures no later than noon! This way, I will feel extremely ashamed of myself if I can't post those after pictures! Thank you to anyone who is reading the blog for helping me stay accountable! The Behemoth:
