Dark spot is an ant I fed her for lunch...it's still alive and squirming.

We've Come a Long Way, Baby
Via Two Women Blogging, this delightful "1930's Marital Quiz"
I probably got -10 for "Puts her cold feet on husband at night to warm them." Out of curiosity, I took the husband test and guessed what K. would answer. He's a slightly better 1930's spouse, despite "Belches without apology" and "Dislikes to dress or shave on Sunday."

Kitchen Confidential
From the moment I moved in, I've hated the counter tops in my kitchen. They've been coated with some sort of spray-on granite type stuff, and it's gritty and nubbly and never comes clean. Plus, it's just plain ugly:
After nearly two years of procrastination, I decided to do something about it. I decided the simplest thing to do would be to simply cover the nubbly stuff with Contact paper. I measured twice, cut once to fit the smaller counter space to the right of the sink, only - surprise! - the paper wouldn't stick to the damn stuff.
The "rock" has been flaking off in spots, revealing white counter top underneath. So I started scraping. After about an hour and a half and half a bottle of Sally Hansen Pro-Vitamin B5 nail polish remover, what lies beneath was revealed:
Not a bad counter top, really. A little stained and now scratched up from my scraping. Point of no return-I've got to cover it with something now.
Voila. Contact paper now adheres:
Much bettah. I might wait for slightly cooler weather before tackling the larger counter top though.

Brand Timeline
In response to this post, my day Friday, May 23, in major brands.
I left out some repetition. You don't need to know how many times I used toilet paper. Also, I didn't include small, local brands, like the locally-owned grocery and meat producer.
