The pictures are hung on the wall, making the place look a lot more “lived in” than it did. Since hanging the pictures was what I had planned for tomorrow, I’m thinking that tomorrow I might work on the cherry-print curtains for the kitchen. I’ve also got to pick up my truck from my Dad’s house, since he finished it on Friday.

We spent about $250 at Sam’s Club this afternoon. We bought about 2-3 weeks worth of meat, about 5lbs of fruit, and some household necessities like laundry soap and air fresheners. I’m probably going to make some blueberry slump this week sometime, and possibly attempt to make strawberry shortcake, because I could be nice and make desert for the family. Or I could just keep all of it for myself and make fruit smoothies with it.

I’ve learned a lot of things with this last move. For instance, I have way more yarn, scrap fabric, needlepoint supplies, and half-finished projects than any person should have (but any crafty person will tell you I’m normal!). I’ve learned that I’m pretty damned good with a power drill, a paint brush, and a few cans of spray paint, and can do a lot with just a little. I’ve learned that if you use the power drill to put a screw in a cabinet door and then unscrew it again for some reason, that screw will be really hot, and if you’re like me you’ll drop it on your bare foot while trying to avoid burning your hand. I’ve rediscovered that I love working with my hands, no matter what I’m doing, as long as it will turn out good in the end. I’m a sucker for home decorating magazines like Domino.

And I’ve learned that living in the basement will bring lots of spiders. *shudder*
