Falling apart and Kitchen Re-Do

We are in one of those "our house is falling apart" times of our lives. We need:
-a new dishwasher. (ours has been recalled and we will receive a $150 rebate after we purchase a new one. I suppose that's better than nothing, right?)
-2 new garage door openers (not the remote, the whole thing)
-a new screen door for our front door
-new windows
-I'm scared to have our furnace looked at because I'm afraid they will tell us we need a new one.
We did get a new computer and hopefully it will arrive today. Ours does not have any word processing on it and it's been killing me. It also won't let me leave comments on blogs--also killing me.

On another note--I have started painting my kitchen cabinets black. I'm a little scared because I would swear that the kitchen already looks smaller. I'm hoping it's an optical illusion. Anyway, see this little piece of decorative wood under the cabinet. I hate it. Always have. We had it in our old house and I hated it there too. Lots of people have them. I just hate it. Well, it isn't there anymore. I took the power saw and cut it off. It wasn't pretty and I was just sure I was going to cut my hand off, but I did it. However, I did learn one thing. You should wait until your paint is totally dry before sawing and making tons of sawdust. Oops! I think I managed to take care of that little problem too.
