What the heck is up with Brian being so cocky already?? Isn’t it way too early for this?

Renny, the New Orleans lady, is so crazy. I can’t believe she didn’t realize how annoying she was in the middle of the night. I thought Jessie handled it fine. He was very calm and just told her that he was sleeping and she woke him up. Big deal – she was going on and on and on and on and kept saying how immature he was. Huh?!?!

April is a freak. Crying over Ollie. It’s like the first day. Oy! I can tell this is going to be a dramatic season.

The veto competition was so disgusting, but I am glad Jessie won. I can’t wait to see who Jerry nominates and who goes home.

It would be so cool if Brian was put up……

We went with the Korel tiles from Costco. Measured the area and ordered them online. We couldn’t decide on our glass tiles, plus the granite is busy enough. If you see one section shiny and another not shiny its just light reflecting from that section. All the tiles are not facing the exact same direction and it gives off that half matte half shiny look, but when you stand in front of it its all shiny. I think the flash of the camera makes it worse actually.

Barstools added. We got a great deal on 4 barstools in the style we wanted from The counter also has under cabinet lighting using the Dioder’s from Ikea which are LED lights. They are also used in our under cabinet lighting.

Here they are. Dioders.

The faucet is a Hansgrohe single handle pull out and the sink is Elkay.

We took off our old window treatments and haven’t replaced them yet. Loving all the light that comes in every morning though. You can also see the high bar section on the right in this picture. I really don’t know what to call it – “high bar.” Its where our garbage can and recycling bin are as well as our “home center.”

That red table near the window, also purchased from Ikea, was going to be set behind the couch and used a computer workstation where the display would be projected onto the tv. However, there isn’t really enough room there, plus when sitting on the barstools your legs won’t fit underneath, so we moved it over to the window and we actually think its a better spot for it. One of the things before the kitchen remodel was that we had to replace those high hat lights frequently. However the two above this picture (which you can’t see) are on a dimmer switch and we have rarely had to change those bulbs. So we put a dimmer switch on the main kitchen lights to save energy/bulb replacement costs.

The kitchen and this family room have been Feng Shui’d.

TV stand and shelf from Ikea also. We went Ikea nuts. New TV, HD receiver, Wii, and plant.

As Addison Montgomery discusses her impending departure from Seattle with Dr. Richard Webber (the Chief of Surgery at Seattle Grace Hospital), she talks a bit about her new colleagues as a way of introducing them. Then she and Sam (Taye Diggs) have an interesting encounter………

Come back tonight after you’ve watched and discuss what you think of the new show. I can’t wait!
