raving and picspam (because they go so well together)

Dear Capitol One
I knew that you being the ONLY credit card who didn't have a confirmation number when i pay you on line was going to bit me in the ass. I even emailed a complaint about that months ago. Sure enough last month I paid you off. This month I get a bill from you saying i never paid. I, of course, have NO proof that I thought it went through because you have no confirmation number you bastards. Oh and if you want to know where the head of your customer service man is, look inside my stomach. I bit it off, tasted like curry. I don't need someone who keeps apologizing. I need someone to tell me how you managed to fuck up an online payment.

and now, picspam because i need to be happy.
The parents redid the kitchen, (mom and dad cut the ceramics for the wall and floor, the counter is quartz...) kitchen

*gives you plum wine*

*gives you some chocolate for good measure*

congrats on the word count. is this for red skies? i forget.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

It's for ficfrenzy which is like a mini no pressure Nano that happens every few months. So the word count is a mishmash of everything I'm writing but 80% is one specific FMA story and Red Skies

Wow, your parents' kitchen looks great! They really did a fabulous job. And I think we have the same toaster - a 4-slot bagel one, right?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

boy yo have a sharp eye, yes that's the toaster

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Hee - Yeah I do. I'd know that toaster anywhere. It's the nicest one we've ever had.

It's weird how when you buy something, you start to see them everywhere - not that more people have them, just that they stand out more. The same thing happened when we got our Roadtrek. As rare as they are, I started seeing them everywhere.

i know what you mean. Mom just got that one. she loves it.

That kitchen is so nice, I really like it, especially the floor.

Love the morning glory although I know some varieties can be invasive.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

this is a hybrid so it's a lot less invasive than the wild varieties but yes, it can be bad

The cabinets are Craftsman/Mission style? And look, the electrical outlets are up where you can actually use them, not half buried behind the counter backsplash because the carpenter and the electrician didn't get together on their measurements before the counter was installed.

The morning glory looks happy. I killed all my convolvulus by overfeeding and overwatering them. Go me.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm not sure of the style. Dad's an electrical engineer...and yes he had to practically bitchslap the cabinet guy to get it done right. The guy almost walked out on the project (nice contractors you have there Lowes...or Home Depot)

it's a happy glory. poor convolvulus

VERY nice kitchen! and the flowers (and the view of the mountains...)

spectacular pix; thank you.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. glad you liked it. That's Smitty's hill. I used to play tag the cow over there the hill my parent's place is on is just as high, perfect for sledding

[rahirah]

They did a beautiful job on the kitchen!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i think so. thanks
