I think I have over 150 to 200 cookbooks. I don't have all of them unpacked. I think some are still sitting up in the attic. My important ones are unpacked however and I think they number in at least the 75 range. I have a hideous corner by my itty-bitty kitchen. It has my cookbook shelf and my stereo...a REAL stereo with a record player. There is also a large green storage bucket filled to the overflowing with vinyl records. I don't have anywhere to put them! I need to find some kind of shelf that will accomodate my vast and ever-growing collection. Also sitting in the corner is a broken drawer from my kitchen cabinets. <sigh> I really need a kitchen make-over. I did finally take down the wall paper and put one coat of very light lemony yellow on the walls. It really needs a second coat. I also had taken all the cabinet doors off. My original intent was to paint my cabinets this very sunny, bright yellow. That fell by the wayside when I lost my job, my ceiling in the dining room burst and then I got a new job 114 miles away. The kitchen now makes me sad. We have lost the hardware for the doors somewhere when the disaster of the ceiling cave-in happened. I don't even know what to do with it anymore.
GOSH! Somewhere in the midst of typing about something inane as cookies, my thoughts took a drastic turn to the meloncholy. I don't totally know how that happened.
I guess I will log off for the moment and go get my cookies out of the oven!!
