First, I saw this great spice organizer. I wish I had taken a before picture of this cupboard, but this is the after pic and look - I can see every spice that I have! I also found, as I was cleaning the shelf out, that I had some spices from at least 15 years ago. They went in the trash! I also found that I had two of some spices. I must not have been able to see them before I got so organized.
You know how you start one project and it inevitably leads to another? As I cleaned out that cupboard, I realized how much all the cabinets needed cleaning inside and out. So that is my next project. I think it will take a good amount of time to empty everything out and put it back after cleaning. I may save that job till my next self imposed quarantine!
I have also been wanting to update the look of my kitchen. I thought about painting the cabinets, but that sounded like way too much work. And I didn't want to spend a lot of money. So I decided that new hardware on them would change the look. So, I got new knobs (that match the new faucet I got a couple of months ago) and it really made a difference!
Our ward had a Halloween party on Wednesday and I really wanted to go. I mean, how often will I be bald on Halloween (never again I hope!) and I had to take advantage of that! Ken was hesitant because I was just ending my low immunity time and we knew that there would be lots of people and LOTS of kids there. But he humored me. (And I had hand sanitizer in my pocket that I used about 5 times in the 1/2 hour we were there.) He even let me dress him in costume! I had thought of several things I could do with a bald head. Mr. Clean, a Magic 8 Ball, an awesome zombie, or even paint my head orange with black facial features and be a pumpkin. But in the end, I thought this would be easy and effective.
Yeah, we were pretty awesome!
We are all set for the 5 or 6 trick-or-treaters that we get at our house. The kids don't want to climb our steep hill and a lot of the houses have a full set of stairs to get to their front door. So we just don't get many kids coming to our neighborhood. I asked Ken to get some candy and we certainly are ready! I think we are going to have lots of left over candy. Anyone who wants some, just come on by!
And last, here is a cute gift my neighbor Diane made for me. I had to take a picture so I can remember this for next year.
This week I am thankful for:
-A husband who is a good sport and lets me talk him into dressing up for Halloween.
-All the projects that I have been able to accomplish.
-The blessing of feeling so good for more than a week.
-Being able to get out again and visit with friends.
