whirlwind
Thursday, I loaded up the kids and a mullet-free Jim into my FIL’s minivan and headed over the mountains to Denver. 2 Apple stores, 3 yarn stores, 1 Guitar Center, 4 Starbucks, 1 Urban Outfitters and a trip to Casa Bonita later, we headed home. It was a quick trip, but Jim was able to spend his birthday money on a couple new guitar pedals and I got to fondle the new yarn I’m thinking of ordering for Tangle.
Saturday, Eden had two soccer games in the 85 degree heat (I tell you, this side of Colorado just skips over spring) and I managed to pull off a surprise party for Jim. He is now 32 years old. The fact that he’s into his 30’s makes ME feel old! Aside from the fact that he was actually surprised, we now have enough Jack Daniels in our house to inebriate a small country. Hey – I guess it really isn’t too hard to buy Jim a present!
Sunday, I sewed curtains from the extremely cool fabric (aka bedspread) I bought at UO and talked Jim into buying shelving material for our work-in-progress dining room. (Pics will follow when it’s all done – in 2009.) I’m really excited to finish up the dining room, and just thinking of all the free space I will have with floor to ceiling shelves makes me giddy. Plus, it’s just really nice to start implementing the plans I have for this house. It only took me 6 years to decide how I really want it – I’m just ready to have it that way!
I’ll leave you with some photos from the new, fancy macbooks at the Apple Store. (PS, this was the first time I saw the new ipod shuffle, and I think I might really need one. Really. Either that or some nike ipod shoes. I fully embrace my nerd-ness, you’re welcome to laugh.)
