Said smoothie and its mess.

Soooooooooo......

That blender I was talking about the other day. It just so happened I took it out cans of pineapples and peaches and threw in some ice. There was no traditional blender mess with the cap flying off. I mademy first cup and downed it because it was tasty.It was the second cup that got me......

Half a blender full of smoothie left and an ice chunk blocks up the spout, instead of swishing the smoothie, genius me tips it halfway over........

And spills pineapple-peach smoothie ALL over every piece of the new 30 THOUSAND dollar kitchen. The new tiles, cabinets, appliances (which were behind me....), the wall and trim (both newly painted), and the countertop that had just been put in a few hours before. That smoothie made it four/five feet away into my window screen and onto the sill....... All of this with my mother sitting and watching me. I thought I was going to DIE.

WTF would you spend $30,000 on a kitchen!? Maybe if you really like being in the kitchen I guess...

Hey, look at my parent on that one. Umm, figures off the top of my head:

New flooring and tiles: 2k
New cabinets: 15k (that includes moving our plumbing for the sink and builing a mini wall if im not mistaken)
New appliances (including washer and dryer): 6k

A lot of money went toward things like paint, trim, installation and building fees and such. Plus random CRAP they ended up getting sucked into at the store.

Just make your internal voice have a Russian accent and suddenly the title makes sense.

In any case, 30K sounds like an awesome kitchen. Me being a cook, I can understand why you would want to put some money into it.

No one in my family is really good at cooking but out kitchen used to be so small if you turned in a circle you could pretty much use every counter surface. I think I might be getting the pictures of the kitchen on to the computer soon, it's a lot bigger.

$30k is not that much for a full kitchen remodel. Especially for a medium to large kitchen.

I was going to say the same thing. Many people spend $50K or more if they gut and start over. We just finished ours a couple months ago and having a new stove is way cool.

Our stove/oven is one of those two layer ones which isn't so bad except the whole edging around the stove gets super hot as it heats up. It seems like kinda a big flaw in the engineering.

So what did your mother do?

Also, don't leave the oven on too long, before your kitchen goes up in flames

As stated I thought she was going to kill me but she was laughing and joking and makin fun of me the whole time we cleaned up. I couldn't find the new mop so i had to grab a rag and clean the floor like Cinderella. She laughed so hard at that and grabbed the camera. At one point I ran backwards into her but thought it was her trying to kick me in the butt and turned around with this horrified look on my face.... she caught that one.XP
