UPS came with dresser. I unpacked it from the evil Russian nesting doll packaging (package within a box within a box). Wiped it down. Put clothes in it. Took boxes out back and stomped on them.

Dresser is on the small side, but hey, it's here and it's done, and certainly got a full body workout.

What is up with the nesting? My globe came in something likt 57 boxes. For 9 pieces.

My slate carving above my front door: [link] Made for me in Kathmandu!

Pretty!

Yay, dresser!

Beautiful Sara.

My cats are trying to work my last nerve. Last night, I was feeling too sick to put away my groceries, so I just put away the perishables. I went to finish the job and someone (Oz) had gotten into the tortillas. He chewed through the plastic bag and chewed on all ten of the tortillas in the package.

Since it is right over my door, I'll see it every time I come down the stairs. It'll make me smile.

Oz sounds like Loki. He was such the pill the night we got back.

OH! I just looked in my wallet, and this is the place : [link]

It looks really gorgeous, sara. How lovely to have such a tangible reminder of your travels.

That's cool, Sara!

I love that it reminds me of figuring out what to do with the carver; I had no clue. He asked what I wanted it for and had a variety of suggestions. He really liked the idea of putting in my street number.

I loved the salespeople in Kathmandu. I'm normally put off by sales tactics, but they had it down and totally made it seem like they were interested in you personally. I had so much tea from vendors who I didn't buy anything from.
