I thought this year’s Oscar Academy Awards is one of the more entertaining Oscar show for a while. I really enjoyed Hugh Jackman and his dance and song performances, especially the one with Beyonce. The past Oscar awardees eloquently and sincerely presented the “Best Actor/Actress/Supporting Actor/Actress” awards. I definitely enjoyed watching the fashionable attire of the actresses.
American Idol
My nightlife is exciting again. I don’t need to go out or meet new people for excitement. All I have to do is turn my television on by eight and my favorite shows are on again. I have a full schedule starting with Desperate Housewives, then the Bachelor, American Idol, and Grey’s Anatomy. On two days out of the week where I don’t have any favorite show on, I usually watch movies through Netflix. With this down economy, I try to save money by not going to movie theatres. Movie tickets have gone up quite a bit this past few years. Movie theatre popcorn and drinks added to the movie tickets make movie going an expensive treat. Unless the movie has great cinematography, I would rather wait a couple of months and watch the movie in the comfort of my old couch while wrapped in my soft throw blanket.
DIY Kitchen Cabinet Renewal
I knew that staining the kitchen cabinets would be a huge undertaking, but since I was tired of staring at my old and faded kitchen cabinets, I decided to stop procrastinating. Luckily, I have some stain and brushes hidden away in the garage. Early in the morning, before my kids woke up, I decided to get all my materials. I got the stain, brush, sanding paper, and an old rag to wipe off any drips or mistakes quickly.
First, I removed the handles from the cabinets. Then, I wiped off the kitchen cabinets, lightly sanded the cabinet doors and frames, and wiped off the cabinets again. I used a brush to stain the cabinets. Using a brush is easier and a cleaner method.
The following day, after the cabinet stain had dried, I attached the handles.
The job was not easy but it sure feels good to see the finished product. I’m not a professional, so there are a few touch ups that I can do in my spare time.
