Just wanted to post an update. I am still without a laptop....probably until after the 13th. I'm getting a discount through a friend's educational discount, thank God! A nice Macbook Pro, so hopefully worth the wait.  I woke up yesterday with high hopes because my kitchen was finally going to be done. But the worst thing happened, my contractor turned out to be a greedy man and didn't really have much knowledge placing IKEA cabinets. My friend had assembled them and they just needed to be hung. Anyhow i fired him and it was a big ordeal, he wanted all his money but i only paid him for what he did. He literally left my kitchen about 55% done. i was devasted, but glad that he wasn't going to be touching any part of the cabinets anymore. Today my bf has spent all day installing the rest of the kitchen and will go into tomorrow. Then countertop guy will come by monday finally to take measurements. So far i've taken pictures of everything and when i get back onto a fast laptop i will post some. Thanks for all your comments they keep me going. Have a nice sunday everyone!
