Things I have to much of are weird, number one is honey! I have about 8 jars of honey, all different, all wonderful, but who the &@$% needs that much honey? Then sugar I have: brown sugar, raw sugar, white sugar, icing sugar, castor sugar, palm sugar, rose petal sugar, lemon sugar and that is the sugar I know off the top of my head! Sugar I use different kinds in baking, but still, it seems a little excessive. I used to have 9 types of flour too, but I had to throw a bunch out as it goes weird, especially almond flour and coconut flour.

Funnily enough food wise, I buy mostly just enough for me for a week, lots of fruit, some veggies, yogurt and a loaf of bread, then whatever dinner is that week. This week dinner is baked potatoes and broccoli. I rarely get tired of eating the same thing, even packing my lunch daily for work it is pretty much the same: salad, fruit, egg, cheese and sometimes crackers or bread. This week I went by Holeman and Finch bread shop and got ciabatta bread! so yummy! but I treated myself to a small thing of pimento cheese from them as well, so that is in lunch box.

Morning

Up at 7:20 this morning to go walking with Andy, funny how it is July and still not a billion degrees here in Atlanta. Normally it would be awful, but lately not to bad, not great, but not awful.

I need to get some work done on my house, I have a vision, vague, of what I would like, but I need help, someone who can plan it out and then a recommendation for a contractor. I think I want to go for the Martha Stewart cabinets in the kitchen, as I looked at Ikea, and the cabinets just felt so flimsy. Then I would like to redo the floor if I am doing cabinets. I do not have enough artistic vision to design and say this will look good. But, finding a designer/contractor/renovator is hard. I have used Kip, and I liked him, but he is a little out my price range. Making my house more open plan would be great. Two years ago I got new windows, and that was a great, I love them a lot!

Work is work, summer is not super busy, but I wish I could do more at work, sometimes the fact it is owned by two people, who do not want to grow, makes life hard :(. But, I still love seeing records every day. I would like more money though, that would be awesome. I am not sure what I could do part time to make more money.
