Psst. Hey. Hey, do you hear that noise? Yeah, that noise. I think it’s . . . well, I can’t be sure, but I think it just might be the sound of A THOUSAND FUCKING ANGELS SINGING A GLORY-FILLED HALLELUJAH.

Can I get an amen.

newkitchen2.jpg

Oh baby, oh baby, that’s right, show me allllllll your storage. Show me how you hold alllllll my pots and pans and boxes of brownie mix. Oh yeah.

Old Kitchen, I’m sorry. We had some okay times. But I’ve moved on. It only took 39281475 months, but I’ve moved on.

How did I spend my weekend? Cooking various fattening things, including Swistle/Quaker’s Oatmeal Scotchies (laptop as recipe book! GENIUS, as long as you don’t get cookie dough on the case. In which case there is nothing to do, you must lick it clean). I never thought I’d be so excited to use an oven, and you don’t even want to know what I did when we turned on the dishwasher for the first time. It may have involved an unfortunate dance move featuring a vigorous ass-slapping manuever.

Oh! As if that’s not enough excitement for one weekend, BEHOLD:

I’m . . . sorry, were you maybe taking a sip of a beverage just now? Sorry about that. Here’s a tissue.

JB’s fancy new hairdo is the result of a very successful fundraising activity his office is doing, where individuals raise money and the company matches dollar for dollar. Thanks to his promise that he’d spend this week sporting a red-dyed mohawk, he and one other coworker raised about $5,000 total. JB’s donating his half to Fred Hutchinson Research Center. Not bad for a guy who appears to be trying really, really hard to look like Chuck Liddell.

I can’t begin to express how jealous I am of your stove. Congrats on the kitchen finally being functional!

My first thought at seeing JB was, “Man, I bet Riley would look adorable with the same hair.”

JB’s kind of naughty-hot with the mohawk. Is Riley asking for a style like his father’s now?

Your kitchen looks awesome. Like something out of a magazine, no shit. Will you be posting photos of the breakfast nook area? I’m really looking forward to see how that turned out too.

JB is such a good sport. The look is actually kind of hot – maybe he should keep it? And as for your kitchen, you are the luckiest person ever. Very nice, although those gorgeous appliances will soon be marred and scarred by sticky fingerprints and dents created by toddler vehicles! Enjoy and have a cookie for me.

Bianca: there is nothing yet in the nook except piles of debris. Hooray! I mean, SUCK. We are having a hell of a time finding furniture we like.

Breckgirl: I hesitated about doing stainless for the fingerprint reason, but after you polish it a few times with the special goo (mineral oil?) it sort of builds up a resistance to sticky little hands.

Beautiful, Linda, just gorgeous! I am compulsive…I kept scrolling down hoping you had taken that Nikon 70 and opened all those drawers and cabinets so we could see all the configurations…but then I realized that maybe that would be an invasion of privacy…so I will just have to guess what is behind each and every drawer and cabinet…maybe I should have been a kitchen designer! It’s very pretty and sporty looking…I am sure those brownies and scotchies will taste ohsoexcellent coming out of this kitchen! Thanks for sharing! Well worth the wait, right?

Mmm, kitchen! But WAY more importantly? JB and I are BFF now, cause I shaved my fool ass head ALL THE WAY last week for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I kinda love it, but even though she lives 800 miles away, my mother is officially not speaking to me. Hee. Go JB! Bald is Beautiful, Baby!

PS: Does JB love it like he’s looking like he’s loving it? I can see the thought bubble “Chuck Liddell can suck it, suckers. I’M bringing sexy back!!!!”

Hey yeah cool, a kitchen and all that. But OH MY FUCKING GOD! Just when I think JB can’t any cooler he busts out a mother fucking mohawk! Felate him for me now, I demand it! God damn that is bad ass!

It is my opinion that mohawks are the most manly hair style a man can possibly sport, with long greasy metal/pirate hair and flat tops coming in a close second and third. Mohawks say not only do I not give a flying fuck what you or anyone else thinks of my fashion dammit, I could also kick the living shit out of you and all your friends. (who are way too pussyfied to ever even think about getting a mohawk) I used to have a mohawk. I loved it. I had to get rid of it when I got locked up because no matter how awesome they are, judges and huge black men hate them. And just cause your hair says you can kick someones ass, doesn’t mean it isn’t lying it’s stupid little white ass off.

And he kind of does resemble Chuck Liddell. With that freaky smirk he could be Chuck’s evil little brother maybe.

And it just now struck me, if your kitchen has been out of commission this whole time, how come JB didn’t just force you to switch to a diet solely comprised of items you can grill? Cause you can cook just about everything worth eating on a grill. Trust me, I’ve done it.

Below you will find a link to my flickr site…where you will find a photo of my husband and his “fundraising” mohawk. At least, that’s what he told the CEO of his company after he got a wild hair up his ass one weekend this summer and styled his hair so beautifuly. The CEO bought it, and my husband walked around at his sales job, in his suit…..with a mohawk..for over a week.

Yay, kitchen’s finished! I visited my folks in the Carolinas this weekend and conveniently forgot they were redoing the kitchen. I can imagine your plight so much better now, after gaining a bazillion pounds from eating every meal out and lamenting the absence of my dad’s fabulous home cooking.
Oh, and don’t tell my parents, but I like your finished kitchen way better than their plans. Shhhh!
Congrats, cook something yummy!

I think that stainless steel fridge is missing something…. something like the FRIDGE FARM, one of the most annoying toys ever made. Don’t forget to put that back up! HA.

The kitchen looks great; I am, like everyone else, totally jealous.

Whoever said Travis Bickle on the hair, I’m with you. But that’s awesome of JB to go mohawk for a good cause.

Both the kitchen and the husband look scorching by the way!

Amen! Yay, you have earned your ass-slap dance! Plus, your new kitchen looks completely terrific. You guys have good taste. Glad you’re finally getting to bake, too.

Also: JB manages to make that mohawk look somewhat cool. Weird.

Hey im new on the forum, conscience-stricken I begetn’t introduced myself. I’ll get to it, Basically I’ve got extremely obvious ‘s breadth, but I don’t like it extremely much. Its many times been relative to 2-3 inches extended and if it gets any extendeder than that it goes frizzy and big. I was wondering if there is any way of lankyning the whisker a lot without shortening it too much. The barbar many times sheers it when I go but they say they can’t do it any more and im neach time unwavering why. My braids is extremely obvious and as a upshot definitely relentless it doesn’t eclipse cascade plains after a few inches.

My braids is this lenth cruelly at the jiffy, but it doesn’t lay as good as as mat and so looks absolutely disparate.(I wouldn’t participate in emo iniquitous, I barely in need of it that in the extended run b for a hunger time)

Should I go to a stylist and talk helter-skelter this to try and of a mediocre this out to get this accomplish? Or do you guys participate in any ideas?( I’d measure steer clear of gells, creams and viscid bull)

Thanks security to approve of from you.

It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers
made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

It started with i – Phone and contains now gone after i – Pad

so because of this, the flawed data. Now, movies aren’t
the thing that piracy trackers allow links too.

Movie star and singer Patrick Bruel ended up being one of France’s biggest
stars during the ’90s, first making the name being a teen idol and leading a positive
to traditional French chanson from the new millennium.
Bruel was given birth to Patrick Benguigui inside Tlemcen, Algeria, on,
may 14, 1959. His or her father abandoned the family unit when Patrick was only a
year old, and 1962, after Algeria acquired its independence, his mother moved to France, residing inside Paris suburb involving
Argenteuil. An excellent soccer player in the youth, Patrick first settled on the idea of as being a artist after seeing Michel Sardou perform
in 1975.

As good fortune can have it, acting would take him his first success; first-time home Alexandre Arcady ran an advertising
seeking a fresh man having a French-Algerian (or “pied-noir” in French slang) accent
for his picture Le Coup de Sirocco. Benguigui (as having been still called) responded and won the business.

The following year, he spent a little while in New york, where he met GĂ©rard Presgurvic, later for
being his most important composer.
