Gahhh. Sean and I have been sanding and staining since Sunday afternoon, and we still haven't even laquered the damn table and chairs yet. Honestly. My eyes want to glaze over just thinking about it. Still, I really like the walnut color we picked for the dining set- it's just dark enough. They might still end up looking a little, well, hand-done (they are far from perfect, and I keep having to nag Sean about wiping against the grain) but they're hand-done by us, and that's good enough for me.
I have about three weeks of laundry to do and haven't packed one iota.
I do love my new car... too much, actually. I'll be relieved in six months when I won't die if someone dings it.
We signed up for gas/electricity/etc. and Sean is calling the cable company tomorrow (we get some kind of package with a phone line, cable, and internet for $99 a month- someone tell me now if that's actually way too much to spend, because I have no idea). Work is pleasantly busy PLUS it turns out I'm non-exempt, so even though I'm salaried, they have to pay me overtime if I work late. Awesome. Traffic has been great this week since it is spring break... and I'm five or so days away from a shorter commute.
