    All up, we were 6 weeks and 2 days without a working kitchen. Original HN salesman said it would be “three weeks.” *sigh*


    @Alacaeriel Nice! Damn, that’s so much faster than ours. I’m impressed…


    @Alacaeriel Washing up in bathroom. Paleo diet no problem; meat & veg easy to cook w/ hot plate and microwave!


    Well, shit. Only big burner on induction cooktop works. Sparky has wired it up wrong. But @dancingman got it right before!


    @dancingman !! That would be fantastic. And if it’s the electrician’s stuff-up, we can bill him for you. Happy to cook you dinner too!!


    @dancingman You free at all on the weekend? We can work around your schedule…


    Sorry coworkers – no cookies tomorrow. Spent the whole night moving fridge, cleaning, and unpacking kitchen. Monday I promise!


    @knitness Because mine would be better!! 🙂


    @chewxy Yeah, it’s a thing I do. Want to thank them for being flexible during the renovation. 🙂


    Interesting. This morning all induction burners are back to working. Can’t reproduce failure. Maybe overheating? It’s a mystery.

    Taking a four-month old to a hatted restaurant and then bitching? No sympathy from me. Get a babysitter. You are the problem.


    @redambition On the Herald. Claiming restaurant told them to leave. Only seats left were at the bar! What idiots.

    Sorry coworkers – no cookies tomorrow. Spent the whole night moving fridge, cleaning, and unpacking kitchen. Also, the electrician miswired our cooktop and it stressed me out. Monday I promise!

    Call Me Maybe – THE SUPERCUT. This is awesome. I am such a sucker for catchy songs.

    13 Untapped ’90s Fashion Trends – Oh good grief. I still sport an embarrassing number of these on a near daily basis.

    Subjecting the entire office to “Call Me Maybe.” Suddenly I’m in a very good mood. 🙂


    Wow. 50 Shades of Grey got real embarrassing to read on the bus *real fast*.


    @imdominating My coworker and I wanted to see what the fuss was about. I used a gift cert, so didn’t pay actual $. 🙂


    @knitness Pretty much!!


    The plumber is here… 45 minutes early! We’re going to have a working sink and dishwasher within a few hours!

    @drkknits I think he died when a cave bear ate him, so you do what you need to. 🙂


    Sparky is here and things are being connected. We may actually get to use our cooktop and oven tonight!!


    @aimee_maree I did for a while too. It’s like an MC Escher suburb.


    @Alacaeriel I do not understand why contractors can’t communicate or be places on time. Commiserations!


    Power points and under-cabinet lighting and functioning appliances? It’s like a dream come true!


    @Buttontreelane It’s gorgeous! You did an amazing job.


    @eileenDCoE Aren’t they vego? ARE YOU BECOMING A MELBOURNE HIPPIE?


    @that_alison Very cute! Did you dye your fingertips blue like we did? 🙂

    POWER! Electrician has done his final hook-ups. We’ve now got power outlets, working appliances, and sweet under-cabinet lighting. We can actually start moving stuff back into the kitchen! Plumber comes in on Thursday to hook up the sink, and then we will be all done except for splashback and painting…


    Why is my timeline blank now? Did Spotify do this?

    Cupcakewurst – DEAR GOD, this is going straight to the top of the ooky Halloween foods list!

    The kitchen benchtop is going in, people! It’s really happening!


    First half of benchtop going in! http://t.co/lt1y1Yiu


    BENCHTOPS! So very happy. After plumbing/electrical tomorrow, it’s nearly all done! http://t.co/bq8uV3uv http://t.co/5TfL8rmi


    Bugger. Plumber can’t get out until Thursday. A few more days…


    Last week I guessed it was the calm before the storm. Turns out I was right…


    As a friend said on FB, I wish I had lots of money to donate to Notre Dame, so that threatening not to would mean something. #disappointed


    Let’s look on the bright side: it’s @kunaal84’s first day at @sitback today!


    I may have just bought the Kindle edition of, ahem, 50 Shades of Grey. Anybody else read it? 🙂


    @AusVintageGrrl Oh good. Glad you’re feeling better – even if it is drugs!
