{they're here....}
it's 9 am and just like all good Germans, the boys are on time to build our kitchen. we decided to hire out help to put the right wall unit together because we do not have power tools to cut a hole for the sink, etc. and since we've already built so much of what is in this apartment we decided to give it a rest and just pay someone else to do it.
so! the 'boys' are here and i confess, they are not your typical delivery/building guys (rough around the edges)... no these two are two extremely good looking guys that not only speak the most beautiful German (light and crisp), but the younger one (late 20s) looks exactly like Steven Patrick Morrissey (you know, the Smiths from the 1980s?). I mean, I wish I could sneak a photo of him. He even has somewhat of the same hair cut that Moz had back in the day and he is tall (around 6'2") with piercing blue eyes, black hair, and the same chin, face, build... For a girl like me who is so into Morrissey anyway, I am glowing right now. Wow. I keep wanting to stick a bouquet of daffodils in his back pocket, snap a photo, and run! over to my computer to show you. I know that Door Sixteen would love it, wouldn't you dear?
Yes it's true, I have Morrissey and a younger Kevin Costner in my kitchen right now hammering away and they just surprised us with the news that the shelving that we had selected will not work (UGH) so now we just have the kitchen sink, dishwasher, and counter going in with nothing on top. But the GREAT news is that they only are charging us 80 Euro per hour and estimate it will take them 2 hours so this is amazing since at IKEA they told us it would be around 550 Euros total. Big cost difference!
...where are my daffodils.... (if you are a Smiths fan you will get the reference).
Photos to come after the boys leave!

i was on his concert in july, and was a bit dissapointed of what he is now..maybe it's ok, everything changes, but i was hoping to see this naive boy with daffodils..*sigh*
So lucky you to see this again:)!
bummer about the shelves, but looking forward to the pics!
I totally wish you had taken a picture! I love my kitchen, but I would demolish it in a second if Morrissey would come and install a new one for me afterwards. :)
Holly, did you already tried to play some sort of game of chance ?
I'm sure you would win the 1st prize. You are indeed a very lucky girl ! ;))
and i believe it's gladiolus that he's been known to dance around with.
the kitchen is looking great!
holly, my 17 year old self is incredibly jealous, and why do carpenters (or any boys for that matter) in the states look like that! if my memory serves me, i saw morrissey 7 times in concert, so i totally understand the swooning, i would have done the same. LOVE the new kitchen!! great work lil-moz!
