Lazy Sunday

lisa November 9th, 2003

We haven’t been doing much work on the house. We kind of ran out of money, and steam, after our party in August. It’s hard to motivate, especially when it’s just the last few minor things that need to be done. There’s still a lot of work we need to do in the kitchen, but the living room and dining room are 90% done. Upstairs, we’ve sort of started work on the sitting room, and I asked Mark earlier if he wanted to get something done today, but here I am on the computer, and he’s downstairs watching TV. It’s only 1:15, so there’s still time to accomplish something. Maybe I’ll go repaint the dining room!

I don’t think I ever told that story: Mark and a friend painted the living room and dining room one night in Wednesday while I was at rehearsal. Problem was, they painted them the wrong colors. I had picked out a green for the dining room, and a blue for the living room, but when I came home I had a green living room and a blue dining room. So that weekend I painted the living room blue, but I never got around to repainting the dining room. I kind of want to do that before Thanksgiving…

We’re doing Thanksgiving this year, for Mark’s family. Mark found some caterer’s serving pieces at a yard sale not long ago, so I think we’ll do it buffet style this year. It will help when we get a bunch of new furniture, including a hutch. Mark’s mother down in Florida is moving from a house to a furnished double-wide trailer, so she’s sending us all the stuff that won’t fit. We’re getting two full bedroom sets (with king-sized beds! Woo!) and a bunch of other stuff. Thank god we have a big house.
