Each day, a victory.

I brought several bags of books to work for our used book sale fundraiser. I have two more bags to bring before the end of the month. Why are books so damn heavy?

I finally got the old Game magazines halfway to the recycling center (that is, they're now in the trunk of my car). For some reason I felt the need to hang on to them so every other time I found them in the hall closet I just put them back.

I'm dealing with a condo full of stuff like that so I have to celebrate these small victories to keep myself going.

Last night - a few more people saw the place. Had our first guestroom use too. Today - my parents are on their way over. I'm feeling like a rock star.

I found a dress for my party. - this was a huge victory.
And had a very interesting night last night.

I created a display of Swedish Meatballs in the freezer section of my department...I guess that sort of counts for something...LOL!

And the dishes were all washed before the parents were even out the door

Who the hell are we?

Artfully arranged Swedish Meatballs are truly an accomplishment.

That sounds like something from the porn thread...

Ken and I are redecorating our place (furniture-wise). We've been inspired by the "hobbit" homes as shown at www.bendshire.com, and we want that look for our living room.

Seeing as we neither want to move to Oregon, nor have $800+ to spend on a house, we figure we can start the "transformation" now, eventually ending up in our own property, hopefully later next autumn.

We want it to be a bit rustic and wooden (even though there will still be Disney collectibles all over).

So, we've started with the furniture.

With the aid of wedding giftcards and cash, we purchased an awesome new dining table set from Target. Gone is the old "wood" finish particle board table and chairs that I've owned for over a decade! And, it's versatile - it matches with the current Enchanted Tiki Room decor, until that is once again relocated to the patio once we have our own place.

For the living room, we purchased a second-hand entertainment center, via Ebay. It just got delivered this morning, and is gorgeous! Gone is the old Ikea-style black one. (Well, not gone yet - if anyone wants it, it's yours! Just come get it. )

I am reupholstering our ugly sofa (it's in great shape, but the fabric is horrendous), and will also redo the free recliner that we acquired with the entertainment center. In addition, we're going to hang long drapes in front of our ugly vertical blinds and I'm latch-hooking a custom-designed Celtic rug. (Yes, I actually have crafting time again. )

So far, it's getting there.

Very cool, DP!

I mentioned Bendshire at work a while back and found out that my co-worker's daughter was involved with that project. If ever I win the lottery, I'm soooo buying one of those homes!
