Adventures in Home Ownership

I have spent the better part of the last three days cleaning my new kitchen and it's still not done... I have about 3 cupboards left to go. There is a surprising amount of filth in what, at a glance, looks like a fairly clean kitchen.

I have a theory that was confirmed by Alexi's mom this evening as well... my current kitchen may be disgustingly filthy but at least it's MY dirt. I am okay with my own filth. I have twelve years of living to remove when we make the final leap to our new digs. I like to think I am a fairly clean person, but like I said, there is a surprising amount of crud to be found whether you know it is there or not.

Our new kitchen has been one little surprise after another... nothing disastrous, but I found broken lightbulb glass, a few water damaged drawers, and syrupy stickyness where I did not expect it. There is a child saftey locking doohickey on the stove that I find difficult to unlock so that will be coming off and I found a pretzel that look unmolested by rodents, which I take as a good sign.

Ron and Alexi tackled the fridge, Goddess bless them! They even found a piece of meat in it, but it is now like new! And bonus! I found the tray under the stove was full of baking pans. Some of them are even worth keeping!
