Closer to my goal...

of getting everything in order before the end of October: my home, my office - my life! I'm working on it every day. As you can see, we got my oak table from storage on Friday after the nice people who bought the pub table came and picked it up. I hope they're as happy with it as I am to have my oak table and funky color chairs! We christened it with pizza after all the shuffling from office to storage to home was completed - well, the first trip anyway. We made quite a bit of progress on the storage unit - and the back of my SUV is still full of fabric and my serger which we were lucky enough to find. The sewing machine, however, is still in there somewhere.

My sweet little antique desk looks great in its new home! It's just been refinished and didn't take up nearly as much room as I had originally thought it would. If I had known it would be such a perfect fit, I would never have put it in storage! The red chair is perfect for it and I had a great time filling the drawers - I never thought I'd be so happy to actually have storage space. Funny how the little things can just make your day!

The green chair that goes with my sofa is another story - it looks so huge in this small room! It really didn't look this big at the office - I guess because it was in such a large open space and I always looked at the back of it. I vacuumed the cat hair off the cushions and as soon as I put the pillow in the chair, Aggie and Monty hopped right up in the seat together, as if to say, "Thanks for the new perch, Mom!" Later that evening, Aggie was going mad sniffing the chair all over - probably looking for the cat that came with it. I suppose Petey will have to find a new place to snooze at the office.

I finally finished the last of my pulp fiction crime novels this weekend - and I read the second book in the Red Hat Club series: The Red Hat Club Rides Again. I was up until two this morning finishing it. The next installment is Wedding Belles. Not my usual taste in fiction, but I liked the first book in the series, The Red Hat Club, as well as Haywood Smith's first book, Queen Bee of Mimosa Branch. Very southern chick lit.

Saturday night the dogs and I watched Fun With Dick & Jane - typical over-the-top Jim Carrey - and a very strange movie called Evolution with David Duchovny and Julianne Moore. I've been going through the DVDs looking for things I haven't watched and trying to thin out the collection. I'm sending Tim's favorite movies to him - out, out damned Dances With Wolves! - and I'm donating the rest that I will never watch again to the DVD library at my condo complex. Might as well share... Next we are going to watch Buffalo Girls - the mini-series based ont he book by Larry McMurtry. I've seen Lonesome Dove or parts of it what seems like a million times.
