Oh my, it’s been a bit since I’ve actually updated this, hasn’t it?

A quick recap:
Last Friday (8/28): Stayed in and had a relaxing night at home with takaza.
Saturday: Bummed around the house, baked some pain au chocolat cinnamon rolls (which were only partially successful – not enough cinnamon flavor), then enjoyed a fabulous party at justincheetah and calapurr‘s place.
Sunday: Bought shelving for the storage room under the stairs (which has been dubbed “The Harry Potter Room”), cleaned out the accumulated cardboard boxes from the move, and generally worked on housecleaning.
Monday – Wednesday: Work, then home improvement. Installed the shelves in the Potter Room, replaced the chandelier in the breakfast area, Dan whipped the garage into shape so we can park both cars in there (with the washer and dryer in there still! This garage is a lot wider than our last one!). On Tuesday night I grilled up some steaks for dinner on the patio, and it was fabulous.

Tonight I reclaimed the dining room, putting all the stuff that had been cluttering up the table there on the shelves in the Potter Room. Dan hung the track over the patio sliding glass door, but the panel blinds for the track are on back order and won’t be in until sometime next week. We can at least hang up a sheet so no one can look into the place while we’re gone this weekend.

And then there’s the coming weekend. Dan and I are working a half-day tomorrow, then heading out of town to spend an awesome weekend at fordshepherd‘s. Expect tipsy twitterings, amusing pictures, and a whole lot of fun to be had!

And now, dinner’s ready!
