I've tried to write a new entry like six times now. But I keep waiting on pictures and well, frankly, I don't have the devil's idea where the cable for my digital camera is – one of those pitfalls of moving. Too bad too, cuz I have some really great shots, both of our house and of the SNOW!
That's right folks, it's been snowing up a … err … storm around here. It started Saturday and hasn't quite let up yet. We're not near blizzard yet (despite what you southerners are thinking), but we got a gooood few inches. May was quite dubious about going out in the back patio/bush area to do her business. Matt had to help her down the stairs and then she sorta fell at the bottom and just laid there. Then Matt helped her up and she made a bee-line for the warm house. I can't say I blame her.
We had a looovely Turkey Day. It mainly involved eating and Karaoke (revolution). There was a weeeee bit o' drinkin too. Not that I indulged. Me, no never. Err whatever.
The rest of the weekend was a mix of family meals, shopping, playing games (Matt and I are the Trivial Pursuit CHAMPS … of the weekend) and house stuff.The house stuff was mostly unpacking boxes, but we did a couple of very cool projects. We turned this semi-useless coat closet into a very useful media/board game storage closet. I also tacked up a piece of picture-hanging wire in the dining room and used binder clips to hang these cocktail playing cards that my sis got me 2 xmases ago. I'm planning to replace the drinkies with Christmas cards when I start getting them!!
Overall, the house is looking really great. We need to buy a couple more pieces. The old stuff we had is largely collegey-crap that we need to slowly phase out (i.e. shunt to the basement) and most of those pieces won't really work where we need them anyhow. We need to get some sort of coffee table or bookshelf or something for the living room and a bar for the dining room … all in good time. This moving thing is EX-PEN-SIVE!
