Well, we pretty much have all the household goods we need, so we're going to do the Disney Honeymoon registry. Problem is, you can't set up the registry till you have hotel reservations, and we can't make our hotel reservations until he secures our flights. So yeah, registry will be set up once I'm able. Hopefully soon, since invites are going to have to go out like next month.

I'm planning a regular wedding on a mini wedding budget... eep!

Mufasa is adapting to his new home really well! Emmy is the only one left who's still hissing at him, but he's quite happy and Alex was right - he's clingy. I should have named him Static. But, I love it. He follows me around, sleeps against me, sits in my lap, and loves to be held. And, he purrs almost constantly. It's loooooove! :)

Awwwwwww.... kitty!

I hope Ken still gets some time with you ;)

After several false starts, I finally made progress on constructing the closet storage system yesterday. It was fist delayed when I realized I would have to start by constructing some templates and jigs. Further delayed by the sudden increased time commitment at work. And finally nearly scrapped as I discovered that I simply do not possess the equipment or expertise to build with the precision necessary for my original design.

However, I went back to the drawing board, simplified the design and finally got a procedure down to ensure precise enough cuts for the new design, and in a few short hours yesterday turned out a couple satisfactorily completed components. From here on out, it should be a lot of lather-rinse-repeat and I once again have confidence in my odds of completion (though I think I'm going to scale back slightly - drawers are feeling like a daunting task).

GD, why not collect a set of wicker baskets and make the unit design to hold them and skip the drawers?

Because A) I hate wicker and B) if a rabbit got into the room, it would not last very long.

Yeah, our dislike of wicker tends to hamper (get it?) our storage options.
