wimmhtw* 6.4

1. Got more done in the kitchen this week. Still not completely done, but it’s looking (and feeling!) so much better. Set aside some things to donate and just made some space, so cooking and baking should be less stressful for us. I just need to finish up that one last cabinet, and we need a new refrigerator, and then the kitchen should be supercool! (Yes, that’s a refrigerator joke.)

2. This season of Top Chef has been amazing. Seeing the chefs from around the world has been fascinating, and last week, as they cooked on Alain Ducasse’s boat, as they met the man himself, was so moving. I am excited to see who wins it this week, and I will be interested to see who takes over as Padma exits. I’m sorry to see her go, as she has added so much to this show through the years, but it does create a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for someone else (I’m hoping for a former contestant, as I think there are several who would do an amazing job as host/judge).

3. Several weeks ago, I got a new phone, so now instead of spending time being aggravated with my phone or how slow it is or how little memory I have left, I can just fill it up with books and audiobooks and podcasts and games and not have to worry about it. There is lots of memory, the battery lasts a long time, and I am a happy camper. The little kid in me is thrilled that I can carry around so many books in my pocket, plus some games, plus a way to get any question answered at any time. We are living in magical times! And that makes me happy.
