update on my happy face...

okay, quick update...

tonight we:

• organized the laundry room a teeny bit
• hung lots of art (but no where near all of it)
• put up the mirror in the downstairs bathroom
• sorted through mail
• afixed the fire extinguisher to the kitchen wall
• put a hook up by the door for our purses (yes, john calls his a purse too)
• took the goodwill stuff and put it in the car (it's a step closer, right)
• folded laundry
• got rid of garbage in the dining room that we had both assumed were just thing to go to goodwill, but upon closer inspection realised they weren't
• sorted through the mail that's been sitting around for ages untouched

and before all this i managed to talk on the phone with my mum for probably an hour, while sitting out in beautiful weather, drinking a cider and smoking to my hearts content.

i have some hope that tomorrow we will be able to follow through on this good solid start and finish hanging the art. not only does it make the space more esthetically pleasing and more ours, it also frees up the space the art was taking up sitting around not hanging on walls. (did i mention we have a lot of art? we've got 25 pieces up right now, leaving us with about 15 more pieces to hang, plus whatever is in the box in the office that we haven't even opened.)

now all we need is a cheering squad to keep us motivated tomorrow...
