It's been awhile...

So the living room & kitchen are mostly done... they just need to be cleaned & accessorized a bit. I'm waiting to photograph until all the stuff for the bathroom is out of the floor. The dining room is mostly done, except that I haven't finished putting up the new baseboards, and the chandelier doesn't work yet. The entryway needs one last coat of paint, and the front door hasn't been painted yet. Haven't replaced any door knobs yet. The bathroom has been gutted, and now has 2 new pieces of sheetrock up (thank you JR!!!), but still has a looooong way to go.

Mom came up & stayed with me for a few days last week, & helped me make the new living room curtains.... THEY'RE GORGEOUS. There was a poker tournament in Pleasanton on Saturday as part of the "Cowboy Homecoming" festivities, so I went home with Mom so I could play with Dad. We've played in this tournament before, and if you can get even a leeeetle bit lucky, you can really clean up. Unfortunately, neither of us did.

Mom & Dad are living with my grandmother & great aunt now, and I was evidently allergic to something at their house, because i spent the whole weekend in a fog of sneezing, stuffiness, itchiness, & without oxygen.

Sunday night, I got to spend some time with Caleb, Daniel, Jamie, Jennifer, & Mike, so that was really nice. I hadn't gotten to be with them much in several months. Jenn & Mike's new house is lovely, and I loved their new small kitteh, Macchiato, and am anxious to see whether my annual baby will be a pink or a blue. (I only hold one a year... will it be Jenn's or Erin's Miss Liz or Jenn Tolbiert's little blue one???) Sheesh, girls, good thing that stuff's not catching...

Dad drove me back home on Monday, played in my poker game Monday night, then woke up early with us to help me drag James to the acupuncturist yesterday morning (his foot has been bothering him). Had lunch with dad, then came home, took a nap, & made supper (see previous post).

That's about all I've been up to lately. How about you?

PS: HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, KLUB!!!
