Still remodeling
Okay, so the kitchen floor, walls, crown molding, baseboards and quarter round have been replaced. I bought a pot rack to hang on the wall, and John felt that the black wrought iron would be too dark, so I spray painted it navy blue, and then I stenciled some designs and dry brushed it. It looks very unique now - very folk arty, and as soon as John hangs it on the wall, I'll take a picture.
Anyway, we were both in the kitchen this morning, and John had finished painting a small curio box for me and hung it up. He suggested that perhaps we should paint more of the kitchen red (parts of the cabinets). I had to laugh, because I had been thinking that would unify everything a lot more, so I guess I'll go to Home Depot and get another gallon of Cherry Cobler Red and mask off the molding and other parts we don't want to paint, and this time I'll use a *dark* base coat in hopes that I won't have to put coats on it.
I have been really focused on work and on the house, so I have not really been blogging much at all. I have been IM'ing and emailing, but that's about it.
So, Tregonese - please send me the link to that quiz you mentioned. And yes, I'm not quite normal, but who it?!
Okay, back to work now.

I believe I warned you home improvement was contagious. Granted, it was likely way to late by then.
Have you started eying the next room to work on yet? Soon, very soon.

Beth, check yer email for an answer to that question. Lemme know if I got the link right, or not.
Oh, and looking at the main Castle site, I see that the Armorer agrees with Jerry Pournelle, point by point, on the Iraq business. Great redlegs think alike?

Did that link work for you? Did you do any of the tests? Howdja do? (I generally get at least a B+/A- on the online Autie/Aspie quizzes.)
You seem like a very *earnest* person to me, young lady! ;-)
No, really, dinna fash yerself if you get a high score; smart knowledgeable people agree that a touch of the "A" is a good thing to have in one's brain. That would put one in the same class as Newton, Jefferson, Einstein, Wittgenstein, Tesla, Sklodowska, Turing, Hildegard von Bingen, et multiple cetera. Having a lot of it is still ok for the ones who have it, just problematic for all the regular folks who might have to mind them.

I score "high normal" but under the threshold.
