Remember that my kitchen would be done by Christmas? They did finish the construction part on time but we hit a snag with our range. First, the shape of the range did not fit into the cutout made in the island. Second, the tile and cabinets made our range too tall. Third, Hector discovered that our gas range has an electric oven. I saw this fact on the manual and didn't think anything of it but when Hector was going to hook up the range he noticed that it was different. We have a 120V outlet and the oven needs a 240V outlet. He assumed that since it was a gas range, it should be a gas oven and I just didn't know any better. So finally today, we are having another electrician come out to change the outlet. I'm still not sure what is going on with the height problem on the range but the latest I heard is that the granite people are supposed to come out again to make an edge.

Hector was overnight call so he has a 3 day weekend! Yeah. I can see him playing Zelda on the Wii waving his sword around. Gotta get out of the way. Maybe today I will hit some furniture stores and look for a sideboard table and some chairs. We don't have any definite plans for New Year's eve because Hector has to work the next day but we'll see what happens.

Oh and we never did get the DirecTV HD hooked up the other day. We waited until 11:30am and had to call to find out that DirecTV is out of satellite dishes so we have to wait until January. Well, it would have nice if they had called us to let us know instead of waiting around all morning. Bah.
