I don't think so, cuz my daughter had it up on the backsplash and it did not get dirty.

OMG! My kitchen looks like a war zone.
First I was going to fix pork chops for dinner - then we found the waffle iron when we were rearranging the garage, so we decided to make waffles. Well, the flour in the pantry IN A PLASTIC BAG, had weevils, so I got the flour out of the trailer which was weevil free. Homemade waffles (the recipe that I use) require beaten egg whites, so that means more dirty pans. Then I heat the waffle iron, grease it and cook a waffle. OMG! the waffle stuck to both the top and the bottom of the iron - I have stuck on waffle on BOTH SIDES! Oh, before the waffles, I cooked some bacon in a bacon fryer skillet with a heavy glass square that sits on the bacon to keep it flat, that Brooke gave me. On the second batch of bacon, the grease started bubbling out all over the stove!!! OK, now we are having pancakes since the waffle iron is a mess and I can't get it cleaned up till it cools off. So I heat up the pan for the pancakes, but it gets too hot and the house is full of smoke. The first pancake is kinda burned, but I like it that way, so OK, I'll eat it. Now, I'm being real careful to not get the second pancake too brown, so when I turn it over, the top is still goopy and it slings all over the stove. I QUIT!

I did find a border on that sight that i liked, but would rather have the picture on a full tile and not as a border.

WHOOPS! I was wrong, it is tumbled limestone! I just talked to my daughter who was laughing hysterically about my kitchen mis-adventures this evening. She said it was eighteen cents a 4 inch tile. It does have holes and uneven areas that even out some when they grout it. They sealed it really well and she cooks every day, and it looked great.

So far...haven't done much except for laundry and cleaned the kitchen. I'm trying to update my IPad, but it's not letting me for some reason. I have version 4.3 and it wants to update to 4.3.1 and it says something about being 'timed out'. So I guess I'll have to figure out what to do next. I did talk to the guy at the phone company who I have my DSL with, but his suggestion didn't work out.
Mom is going to my older brothers house for supper and won't be home until 7 or so. By the time she gets home it will be time to get ready to hook up for her dialysis.

I'm glad you had a little time away from mom today!
Well, I made baked pork chops, buttered corn, and rolls for dinner without one bit of smoke or slopping anything across the kitchen. That's progress!

I really wish I liked cooking instead of feeling like it's a chore. Maybe if I could just get someone else to clean up the mess.....what am I thinking...must be dreaming again...lol

Janet, I would enjoy cooking more if I didn't have to clean up the mess too. I hate cleaning up the kitchen. Gary would do it, but I just don't want to ask him and he doesn't offer, so I do it. It's not so much though, with just the two of us. We go out to eat or just have sandwiches or pancakes sometimes too. I'm tired when I come home and really don't feel like cooking. I'm lucky though, Gary is not picky at all, if I don't feel like cooking, it's OK, if I want to go out, it's OK with him too. Couldn't ask for much more - except maybe cleaning up the dishes after I DO decide to cook. LOL!

I'm starting my diet today. I'm having my coffee with 1/2 and equal and a tsp of half and half. Not terrible. Then I have their scrambled eggs. I hear that frying them up makes them taste better, but I want to try them microwaved first. Morning snack is a shake, lunch is soup, afternoon snack is a bar, (no, not going to a bar...), dinner will be turkey burgers, spinach, asparagus and mushrooms, and PM snack is a shake I think.
I have to add some fats, so I am opting for 5 black olives today. I'm not too sure what else needs to be done. I'll learn as I go along. So...wish me luck! I weigh in at 150.5 lbs this morning.

Let us know how your new diet works out Judy! I want to lose some weight too but I just don't think I could cut down my food I really need to exercise more!
Last night after work, Scott and I drove to a sketchy neighborhood to pick up a sewing machine I found in online classifieds for $25 I made Scott come to the door with me, and a tall, skinny lady with missing front teeth answered. The overpowering smell of marijuana hit us as soon as we walked in the door Luckily, she had the sewing machine right there, and I handed her the $25 and we left! She said it worked fine, just didn't have a needle. He neice lived with her and her parents had given her the machine but she never got into it and she didn't live there anymore. We tested when we got home and it seemed to work well! I just need to buy a needle for it. Not too bad for $25! I've been trying to go to bed early because I'm always so tired in the mornings, and halfway through the day. Last night I got into bed around 9:30, and fell asleep before Scott came in at 10:10. I woke up this morning, wondering how much longer until the alarm was going off. Then I saw it was only 3:00. I wasn't tired at all! I did fall asleep though, and at 4:30 woke up again and thought I'd just lay there until the alarm went off. Well, when the alarm went off at 5:45 I had fallen asleep again, and it was so hard to get out of bed! Maybe I should have just gotten up at 4:30 when I woke up naturally. Now it's mid-afternoon and I could go for a nap again! I always get super tired when 3:00 hits.

Tonight, our friends are coming to stay with us We just found out last night so I was doing some last minute cleaning, and will do more when I get home from work! I'm pretty excited to see them though After they leave tomorrow, we don't have many plans for the rest of the weekend. Hopefully we can relax!
