I’m contemplating trying to blog every day this month both here and on Cook Local. You see, it is NaNoWriMo again (national novel writing month) and every year I lament that there’s no way I’ll be able to participate. i just don’t have the time.

But I think I can blog every day, even if I just short little posts. I’ll use it to get back to my personal blogging, and to do more with Cook Local. I’ll try some new things, try to build a community around Cook Local, and just get into the habit of writing more. I really want to get back to writing for pleasure (and not just for the blog). I’d like to get back to writing fiction.

But onto today’s post. Things that annoy me. I’ve decided that over the next year, I’m going to try to get rid of the things that annoy me most in my life. (No, John isn’t going anywhere.)

The first of those annoying items is gone as of today. We purchased a chest freezer and now the freezer attached to our fridge can be easily opened and closed. We can find things in it and we’ll actually have room for ice now! Yay!

Our sink

Next up is the kitchen sink. We need a new faucet because the current faucet it way too short and ends up spilling onto the backsplash all the time. It isn’t long enough and the water ends up running onto the division between the two sinks and getting everywhere. Plus, I’ve got to lean way far forward to get to the faucet.

I could use some help though. Anyone have an idea as to what to do with this area behind our sink? It collects water and gets very dirty. We’ve taken to putting a dish towel behind there all the time to sop up the water.

Also, any ideas for faucets that would work? We’d love one that is high and curved or one that has one of those extensions that can be used by hand.
