Y'all. I ordered a tote bag from Evil Supply Co ( it's adorable)

Awww, Atticus does such a good job with things. Evil Supply Co. is a great company, and Atticus is a darling.

I paid for the first half of a new roof today. Good times.

Yikes, Brenda!

I'm trying not to think too much about the cash I'm laying out for this kitchen. At least I'm getting to the point of being able to see results, like cabinets etc.

And, of course, none of the paint samples looks the way I expected them too. One of them was supposed to be a dark purply navy, and the other two bright dark royals. The lighter ones are too light and bright, and the purply one looks gray/black by comparison. Argh. Back to the paint store, I guess.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We're slowly but surely putting together the stuff we need. We don't have a crib yet, but we do have a pack-n-play he can sleep in.

I've cleaned all but the two main rooms. With margarita. Not getting to the main rooms tonight.

Gotta rake the back tomorrow, and clean main rooms. And I really want to get a low dresser or sideboard to store linens in. So maybe IKEA. Maybe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did go to Comic Con, and it was fun! I didn't see any famous people, but there were a lot of great costumes, and I bought a Captain America locket. I don't think my friend was able to get a lock of Hayley Atwell's hair to put in it, but I will survive.

I said I was done, but put in a load of dirty rags, vacuumed all the chairs and now the liveseat slipcover is in the wash.

Might be iffy about when I get up and do yard work in the morning...

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I've spent hours matching cords to electronics, separating my DVDs from my roommate's, cooking more things in the pantry, and finding more things to donate or throw away. Under the bed, I had a Grand Marnier box with nothing inside it but old fortune cookie fortunes. I found a box of Canada: [link]

Now I am exhausted and drinking up the limoncello by putting it in a gin and tonic.

Just so you know, shrift, you and Consuela have me on a cleaning/sorting/purging/want real furniture kick. But not quite ready for painting/remodeling.

I think I may never have real furniture. We just bought a new table from Ikea. Yes. Still with the furniture assembled with allen wrenches.

Oh, I'm still all about IKEA. Just no more particle board.
