ACK. That is sad.

So what are people doing this weekend?

Unearthing the dining table from a heap of books and clothing alteration projects, and then moving a lot of furniture. (We're getting a new TV! And some new bookcases! Good heavens, our house might actually be organized at some point in the near future!)

The most amusing part of our getting a new TV is that, in order to figure out the best new configuration for the living room and dining room (that is about to become a library), Pete measured both rooms and all the furniture, and has spent days playing what I call Photoshop Dollhouse. So many potential layouts! Each different by a tiny tiny bit!

The usual--trying to clean and do laundry tonight, work at the bookstore tomorrow, stay warm and indoors while either sleeping or organizing my bedroom drawers and closet (depending on how much energy I have) on Sunday (it's supposed to get all the way up to 5 degrees that day, so I'm not going out unless I have to).

We (and by "we," I mean "The Boy") did that before I moved, with Google SketchUp.

Have you put all of your books into Library Thing yet, Jilli? It's a great way to get a handle on your books, and I like having the list available for insurance purposes.

My mom does this (the old-fashioned way--on graph paper using a pencil) every time she moves so she can tell the movers exactly where to put everything.

I admit that it makes sense. I'm just very amused by it, because he is nothing if not thorough. But I suppose it's better than my traditional furniture re-arranging method of move things around. Get very angry when everything doesn't fit where you want it to. Give up, and push furniture back into old spots, then cry.

No, not yet. My free time for Library Thing got eaten up by other stuff.

Every time we talk about rearranging furniture, I have flashbacks to my late teens. My dad thought it was great fun to randomly rearrange the furniture. Usually on a Friday or Saturday night, while I was out. Nothing says Guess who's trying to sneak in after curfew? like tripping over an end table that wasn't in that spot when you left the house.

Gloomcookie!!! Look what they just got into my friends' store:

This weekend I am going out to dinner w/ friends tonight (CAN'T WAIT). Tomorrow is brows, spin class, haircut, make some sort of food to take to brother's on Sunday, go to CD release party for bandmate's other band. Sunday is early morning going to Westminster, MD to a bike swap to promote Ride for the Feast [link]

I'm riding it this year, btw, so I'll be talking about it A Lot. I can't believe I'll be riding a bike 140 miles in like 3 1/2 months. Yikes! Anway, if you're interested in donating this is my page (I'll be posting something up in the right-hand threads sometime soon but it's never to soon to start askin'!): [link]
