I think I know what I'm doing tonight...

it just occurred to me that my parents are visiting this week. Wow, that snuck up on me. Unfortunately, significant time off to spend with them will be almost impossible to wrangle, but I'm hoping my boss might let me out an hour or two early one of the days so we can go to Cedar Point together.

Before they get here, though, we really need to do some level of housecleaning. I'm not particularly worried about it, since I take after my folks in a lot of ways, and a lack of obsession with dust is definitely part of that. But still, I'd like to tidy up some.

Also, yesterday was the Tremont Yard Sale, and we scored a free three-shelf bookcase that seems pretty sturdy, if ugly as sin. Also, on Saturday we scavenged a chest of drawers that should just need some minor repairs. We're constantly short on storage space, so I'm very pleased about these, and even more pleased that chameleonpixie is in the mood to make some art and paint them up.

Additionally, I won my Ebay auction for the stationary bike, and it got delivered yesterday evening, so maybe I can finally motivate myself to get back on track with home PT, which I've been slacking on embarrassingly badly recently.

On the sadder side, Sugar went home last night. I really enjoyed having her around, and the house feels a bit too quiet right now. I'm finding myself hoping that L and A will need petsitting for her relatively frequently. We did get some pics, though, which I'll share once we get them uploaded.

Random note -- my system seems to be clocking on internet activity pretty frequently this morning. I suspect network probs, and it's possible I may vanish randomly from IM, or miss messages.

Bookcase? I wasn't familiar of this find. But I have plenty o' paint! (Just need to wrangle up some sand paper. Do you think the book case needs sand paper too?) Unfortunatly most of what they (the art sale) had were lighter colors, so I'm doing the base in lighter colors and the designs/murals/whatever I end up doing with darker colors. Don't worry- we're not talking pastels, just lighter.

Hey, go with what feels right to you; I'm pretty flexible as long as it's not all baby blue and soft pink or something (and even those, in moderation for a good cause, can be ok at times). Don't worry too much about making it to please us -- just figure out what you'd like to do and go to town with it.

Oh, and obviously what ever house cleaning help you need this evening, I'm game.

And about the paint, we don't have to worry about getting a finish for it because there's already latex mixed in which should work.

Are they up for the convention here in Columbus? I saw we were having the convention and thought of you right away.

Yes indeedy. They're spending tonight through Thursday up here, then heading down for Convention after that.
