my little home improvement project

Good morning.
Yesterday, Craig went to the doctor to have his mole checked out, and it is nothing.  :-)
 And I did a little home improvement project. We finally found the light fixture's we wanted at Menard's. We got lucky, they had exactly 3 left of the style we wanted. We had a single fixture over the dining area, and it was looking bad. We decided we'd like it to match the kitchen lighting. So here's the before and after pics....

The fixture's are brushed nickel along with the track. The track in the kitchen is still white. I bought 2 more tracks to replace the 'yellowed' white one's. Will do that next weekend.
And this morning, we have a mix of rain, freezing rain, and sleet. Should be an interesting drive to work. It's suppose to turn to all rain by late morning as the temps are forecast to hit 48, changing to snow tonight, so another interesting drive tomorrow morning also. We're in that pre-spring weather when the night temps are below freezing, and the day temps are above. This is more like late March then end of February, but then our winter has been mostly nonexistent.
And it looks pretty good at work this week. I'm going in early today to put away an order that arrived yesterday. I placed it online on Monday. Love the Internet.  :-)
And with that, I off to my shower.

weekend update

Good morning.
Well, my lazy Sunday turned out different. I don't know if it was because it was a bright sunny cloudless day, but the cleaning bug bit, and I went on a cleaning frenzy. Vacuumed, washed kitchen cabinets, cleaned the toaster oven and microwave, and washed floors. Craig did his usual bookwork and laundry.
Finished the day with Mushroom Lasagna.  
Monday, we did our usual running around, and also stopped at Home Depot to check out light fixtures. I want to replace the one over the dining room table. Didn't find any thing we liked, so will try Lowe's today. The rest of the day was my lazy day, with Craig making tasty meatloaf burgers for dinner.
And it's another sunny morning today. the temps have been a little cold. Highs in the low to mid 30's But no snow.  :-)
The bump on my eyelid is finally gone, but the small one inside my lower lid is still there. Have an appointment next Monday and will see if anything needs to be done with it. it looks exactly the same as it did when I was there 3 weeks ago. No bigger, no smaller.
And Craig has a mole on his stomach that he thinks doesn't look right. I scoured the net researching it and I don't think it's anything, but he's going to call the doctor for a referral to a dermatologist. Better to be safe than sorry.  :-)
And right now, that's all the news that's fit to print.   :-)

our clean Salon

Good morning.
I've just returned from my usual Sunday morning ritual, that's right, cleaning the Salon.
And here's a few pics....

Every thing moved to one side of the Salon for floor cleaning.

After the floor drys, putting anti-fatigue mats back and then the chairs.

And more pics of our nice clean Salon.

I think our Salon still looks pretty good after nearly 15 years.

The back room where we store our supplies and mix our chemicals.

And this is a closer view of the open grid ceiling we have. I finished wiping all the grid work this past Tuesday. That's done now for another year.  :-)
Saturday ended up the busiest of the week. Next week is looking pretty good also.
I don't expect to be doing to much today. No big projects to do around the house. I think a lazy day is in order.  :-)
And now I think it's time to get Craig up.  :-)

snow

Good morning.
Winter's back, at least for a few days. I cleared the driveway when I got home and took these pics. Here's what we got.....

It was a mess driving to and from work, as it was a steady light snow all day. I had just 2 cancellations, but also received 2 phone calls, so my day stayed full. Of course, I had to work those 2 cancellations into today's schedule, so a busy long day today. But that just makes it a very good week.
Now time to get ready and head to the Salon.

it's snowing

Good morning.
Winter's back.  :-(    We got a couple of inches of snow over night, with more forecast for today. But the forecast is also calling for near 40 by Sunday, so it should mostly melt.  :-)
Work has been nice and steady this week with today and tomorrow mostly booked.
Other than that, not much else to say but have a great weekend!
