Sounds fun, right? And that's only through Wednesday! Fortunately it is a government-mandated short week.

The weekend was, as usual, jam packed. I had my cracked window pane repaired on Friday, taped off glass and my floor before painting the trim, and Kent and I met Lani for lunch, then went looking at rings. FYI, the SF Diamond Exchange really is a deal. We saw a setting like the one we liked at Tiffany, and were told by the friends that had referred us that the price would be about half. It was more like a third. (!!!) I have it narrowed down to two options now, and will let you know when I figure it out! Hmmm, this is similar to choosing tile.

I spent 12 hours at my house yesterday, painting the trim, and doing touch-up with a little art brush. I had hoped getting the windows done early would help them not to stick when they were closed 9 hours after the last coat was applied, but alas, it didn't quite work out as planned. I went back to the house today to try and reassemble the living room, but only got so far since my heavy lifter didn't show up. I did some other small things - changing out some outlets, putting wall art and the curtain rods back up, consolidating my painting gear, but gave up around 7. I should do laundry now so I can at least check off item 1.

By the way, Rich, I got your package, thanks! I never expected such a cheerful-looking voodoo doll! We're debating putting it in one of the windows facing the Crazy House. :)
