I touched up paint on the ceiling of the entry way, scraped paint off the kitchen windows, changed lightbulbs in 3 rooms and replaced the lightshade that had been off since the painting was done. Now laundry, getting some more summer clothes out of storage and hopefully moving some more items down to storage if I can re-arrange the shelves.

So, there was a thing in the paper yesterday that they are looking for more census takers here, and specifically named my neighborhood. I think I'm going to try it! Even if I got a full-time job soon, I could do it evenings and weekends.

I did some cleaning and watched Justified, which was awesome.

I also just spent an enormous amount of money on a new door. Perils of a 19th century building - everything has to be custom. But I'm super excited about it.

I loved Justified, too, brenda. Olyphant is really good.

Whoah. James Randi—who is 81—just came out.

Is it here Nora was talking about moving to NO? If so, Nora, feel free to ping my cousins. Kara basically did just what you're thinking about, though we have family and friends there. I'm sure it would take you no time and Kara would be happy to invite you to stuff and make intros. smonster can attest to their awesomeness.

Lesson learned from "Who Is Clark Rockefeller?": People are easily duped, and much less likely to google than I would have thought.

Finally hung the cling film in the basement windows. Now thinking about doing the back basement windows too. It looks really nice.

I closed on my house three years ago today. I am finally finishing painting the trim in my bedroom.

Congratulations!

(I'm approaching one year and I still have packed stuff in the basement, boxes in the spare bedroom and very little on the walls. I don't expect the trim will get done in 3 years.)
