- Last night I had a moment of inspiration and I knew I’d have to capture it before it went away. So I opened the can of paint that has been sitting in my living room for about 4 months and transformed my kitchen from this:
to this:
- OK, maybe “transformed” was a bit of an overstatement, but this morning was the first time I walked into my kitchen and felt like it was welcoming.
- So usually the only time our little state of Rhode Island gets any press is when it’s being used as a unit of measure. Like the iceberg that was floating around Antarctica in 2002 which the Associated Press described it as, “about the size of Rhode Island.”
- But the other day, while watching A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila on MTV (don’t judge; I feel dirty enough already), I was a little distressed to see that there is a contestant from our fine state competing for said shot of love with Tila Tequila. This guy:
Michael B. is a pizza delivery guy whose bed is his mom’s couch. And he admits that he has no game (what a shocker). Where oh where was this guy when I was single!?
- In any case, I sat through the whole episode of A Shot of Love. And it actually made The Bachelor look downright tasteful.
- OK, I’m not trying to pick on defenseless guys here, but I was looking at some gossip sites over the weekend and I was thinking… if Steve were to leave me and I had to start dating again? And I showed you a picture of my new boyfriend? And he posed like this?
You have my written permission (nay, I plead with you) to knock some sense into me.
- Is anyone else a little Seinfeld-ed out? Don’t get me wrong, I am literally one of the biggest fans of the show. I have seen (and can recite lines from) every episode and I own all of the available series DVDs. But every time I turn my television or computer on lately, I am bombarded with all things Seinfeld. Deceptively Delicious is all over EVERY blog, it seems. I’ve seen Jessica Seinfeld hawking the book on the Today Show, Oprah and LIVE with Regis and Kelly.
I’m sorry, but with the last name Seinfeld, did Jessica really think that her book wouldn’t be a huge hit?
- And just when I thought I could go back to getting my Seinfeld fix in 30-minute increments twice a day through re-runs on TBS, Jerry Seinfeld has virtually taken over NBC to promote his upcoming Bee Movie. The network has even gone so far as calling itself “N-Bee-C” when it
bombards us withairs its 30-second “TV Juniors” clips to promote the movie. Please make it stop!
- I guess that’s enough Monday morning crankiness for me. π It’s just that I was up late last night celebrating the Red Sox’s ALCS win and I’m a little tired today! Go, Papelbon, go!

LOL! Great post, Jane! I’m glad I’m back home from my trip so I can catch up on my fave blogs! π You always make me laugh! BTW, I like how the kitchen is looking! It’s always neat to see the before and after photos to really see the transformation. Can’t wait to see what you do next! xo
1. Kitchen looks much warmer!
2. I was just griping to my mum about the whole Seinfield thing! It’s MORE than a bit much! UGH!
3. YEAH Red Sox!!! I’m not really a baseball fan, but anyone other than the Yankees makes me estatic!
Fun post. The kitchen looks great! And the Rhode Island site cracks me up and I have never even been to RI… :o)
My oldest, Caleb, is a Red Sox fan, so he is thrilled about the win last night. (Hubby is a Cubs fan, wish that had turned out differently this year.) But anyway, Caleb is also a New England Patriots fan. No sure how an 8 year old from the Midwest, with a father that roots for the Cubs and Steelers, that has never been any further north east than Cleveland, becomes a New England sports fan…but all the same, it did happen….lol!!! :o)
After one of those awful “N-Bee-C” commercials the other day, my husband turned to me and said “Was Jerry Seinfeld ever funny or did I just think he was?”
Ever the supportive wife, I said “You were just drunk.”
I grew up an Indians fan but I just don’t have time to watch hours of baseball like I used to. We did really get into the division series and the league series though. I’m sorta glad the Indians are out….I can’t take staying up late watching ball anymore! π The Indians handed the Sox their games. How stupid could they be with some of their errors? Blake and Peralta running into each other and missing the fly ball? (eye roll) Go Sox! I’ll root for American League for you, Jane.
The kitchen looks great! I am so over the whole Seinfeld thing too. And I’ve seen some of the recipes in the book and NO kid would ever eat them.
I’m a color junkie! Every room a color I say! So I like what you’ve done to the place Jane.
I’m thinking you need XM radio. Yes you do. Or put Bridget Jones in the DVD and spend the day laughing like a madwoman! Speaking of…did you notice GiGi is back in town? xo
Love the changes in your kitchen!
My husband is the Seinfeld fan in our house, but I agree with you on the cramming it down my throat feeling. Bee Movie just doesn’t look all that great to me. Part of me hopes I’m really wrong about that, but the mean Go Away Seinfelds! part of me hopes it tanks.
I think I’m cranky too.
You did all that painting last night? No wonder you’re so tired today! Looks great!
Sadly the Yankees are down and out! π¦
Well, I will gladly slap you if you are forced to find another man and bring something like THAT to the Pinks and Blues family! π I am sure my slap would not be your first nor your last. heehee You have a strong network around you that will be glad to smack you around a bit if you were to go there.
I am sorry to tell you that I want the Seinfeld cookbook AND I want to see the Bee movie. I have had to take a break from the sitcom b/c it is everywhere but I must not be as saturated by the media blitzes. Hope you recover from your Seinfeld-mania soon! π
You had me laughing all the way through your post! HAHAHAHA!!
I *love* Seinfeld, but the bee movies are getting on my nerves. Funny enough, I just got done writing a post about a batch of brownies I made from Deceptively Delicious (for Wednesday’s post). I’ve made quite a few of the recipes and have really enjoyed them. But yeah – I doubt she really needs the publicity. I’m waving both arms in the air yelling “I’m writing a cookbook too!!” Of course, I’m just a blip on the radar compared to her. Probably not even a blip. Sigh. One of these days . . .
This is one of the (many) times when I’m glad I don’t have cable. Oh sure, I watch tivo’d stuff through my ex’s slingbox contraption, but I don’t just flip channels on live tv – so I miss all the tv shows, etc. over-talking about every.single.issue – like, say, anna nicole, or paris hilton – and to be honest, although I’ve seen the name perez hilton, I haven’t got the slightest clue of who she is or might be. Yay for me!
Kitchen looks fantastic! I’ll have to admit I’m intrigued about that Seinfeld cookbook (my daughter is a TERRIBLE eater) but at the same time repelled, because it does have a Seinfeld associated with it, and how much money do they really need?
I know, I’m a bitter, bitter woman π
I love the color! Li-Lo’s new beau is a lam-o…. and Don’t feel bad for watching Tila Tequila… I am totally hooked on “america’s most smartest model!”
I have to admit I got a kick out of “Seinfield Vision” on 30 Rock.
The kitchen does look warmer. Shot of Love…oh boy, I’m with you on where was he when I was single…never seen the show, but I’ll take your word for it.
Fab kitchen make-over!
I’m so with you in teh Seinfeld thing, I’ll actually post something about it today.. something that I find really interesting about the book… not in a good way!
You are too funny!
But . . . the kitchen looks great!
WooHoo! Painting a room feels like such an accomplishment! You go chickie!
