Weekends are for Relaxing?

Normally I would take it easier on the weekends. But these days it seems that weekends are when we are busiest.

Look how busy we were here, a few weekends ago (those are the hideous beasts I mentioned in a previous post):




It was nice out yesterday, so Matt convinced me to bike to all our destinations. (He will avoid taking public transit as much as possible if he can) I agreed as long as we could go sleeper sofa shopping. Ha Ha! The last time I rode my bike though was more than 3 months ago, so by the day's end, my legs were mighty tired.

The shopping trip was kind of a bust, as we found out that in order to get a remotely nice looking sofa-bed at the places we went to, you'd need to shell out at least $2000. But when we got home, I did some more online research and discovered that this place just may have what we are looking for, for the price we want too. We'll be going there soon.

Today we tackled a paint job. At least, partly.




The table still needs another coat of paint. Hopefully not more, because it reeks and those smells are not good for the kitties or us. Matt gets to do the final coat as I will be out tomorrow.

I finally updated my site today too, though only the home page and some links. News will be updated soon. And if all goes well, expect a big shop update later this week. I've got some new things in the works, so it will depend how successful I am with them.

Wish me luck!

Spring Cleaning

It all started with the discovery of these two finds down in our recycling room on Saturday night.

This is some of what ensued on Sunday and Monday:











We all had battle wounds except for Suki. A plexi-glass door shattered in my arms, I cut my finger on a piece of broken glass, Matt cut his finger on a broken light bulb and Dex bloodied his nose up trying to get out of his crate (Matt was using a saw to cut through some wood at one point).

Hopefully by this upcoming weekend, I'll have better "after" photos to show.

C is for the calm after the storm


The past two days have been a bit chaotic in our place due to my Spring Cleaning fever. We rearranged our bedroom, living room and downstairs work area and are still in the middle of setting everything up. So this photo is a bit of calm, which is just what I need right now.

I'll be back tomorrow with a longer post and more photos.
