Updates…
So I had the week off of work to play with Mason and help out mom. We are figuring out the sleeping thing, the pooping thing, etc. so I should be ok by monday when it is time to go back to work.
Mason rules, but I'll leave that to his blog... My mom made mexican spinach casserole thing and it was good, but it reminded me about how much I want to eat the tortilla casserole from cornell. That was good. I miss that. So good.
Other than that, nothing super exciting has happened. Robyn and Scott came by to visit, it was nice. Robyn was saying that babies are lots of work, and they are, but it is fun anyway. Everyone should get one! heehee
The couch came on wednesday afternoon, SO nice. It fills the room VERY well, and it is so so nice to have a place to sit. So nice. I think it looks really good. There are some pics on fotki, but they aren't great.
Other than that, we hang out with the baby and lay low.
progress!
So dylan came over yesterday and we worked on the floor in the basement. I patched a some places (albeit not that well) and we laid the subfloor in the back room. I need to add the subfloor in the hallway and the closet and the subfloor will be DONE. Then it will be time to lay the actual hardwood. it will be SOOOO nice to have that done. I am thinking now that I will work on the sub floor after work a couple days this week and get that done. Then I will work on the hardwood floor on sunday of next weekend. (Audi Club Autox on saturday, last of the season!).
So that is the plan. I also need to figure out what I am doing for shelving in that room and wire routing, etc for the projector. I have ideas:
I am thinking a darker wood stain or a black shelf that runs the perimeter of the room like 16 inches below the ceiling would be cool. I would like some rope lighting up in there for ambient lighting.
But alas, more work, less time.
Ah friends…
Chad was in town today for all of ... 12 hours or something... He had a zefer reunion thing last night... we were all able to grab breakfast this AM though... me, chad, bob, lisa, bob's brother Joe, and fellow Ex-zefer jeff. It was nice to see everyone again. It was a nice group. It is nice to see old friends and hang out. Then I drove Chad to the airport and we chatted. He is a good guy. We differ on a few points, but overall, a great guy.
We ate at Flying Saucer, on California south of Division. It was really good. Way Veggie. Rebecca and I will need to go back.
I drove the jetta around all morning and to the airport and shit. It is a fun car, and I will be happy when I have it all done. I enjoy driving it. I will enjoy it more when I fix the things that are broken, but man, it is a fun little car.
The weather is super nice. I turned off the AC and opened all the windows. Cosby is thrilled. I set up all the accounts and bill pay stuff at washington mutual's site. Now I gotta go get working on the basement. I need that floor done so we feel more moved in.
It will be nice...
grumble grumble grumble…
so not that anything HORRIBLE is happening... but it is turning into an annoying day...
first... while attempting to repair my mom's iMac, I find that the hard drive is not readable. For those who don't know... her iMac was working fine... then half of the town lost their power. Then the power came back on, but her iMac won't work. I have tried everything, couldn't boot it up... Not that I have lost any of MY data, it is still frustrating... We got her a new iMac (20inch iMac G5) and it is very nice. Now she may start backing up on DVDs and this can be alleviated.
Then I stayed home waiting for the couch to be delivered. I cleaned the house a bit, organized stuff, etc. Got ready for the couch... they showed up around 1:20 or so, and low and behold the couch won't fit up the stairway. Damnit.
So I have a clean living room and a couch I like, just no way to get it up there. I have some thoughts on how to remedy this. It involves removing walls. We shall see.
So now I am at back at work... Get some shit done, then go check out a garage space with dylan tonight before my parents get into town...
word.
