moving this weekend was fine. i can't say great. but it went off without a hitch. i can't say great because it was 95 degrees out. hot and sticky. however, moving things in made a huge difference in how i feel about the house. it feels like home now. home with lots of boxes and trash everywhere, but home nonetheless. i could have used another five days off work to get everything done. we were lucky that we had some many days to do stuff in the first place. but i want to do more stuff. i want everything done NOW. we have so many plans and i can't wait for them all to come to life. remodeling the kitchen is something that i really want to happen soon. partly because i want it to look nicer. partly because i feel that paint disinfects things and the kitchen really needs to be disinfected. and made pretty.
we slept in our new ikea bed last night. it looks great. and i think it is comfortable. i am just not quite sure yet. i don't think it is as comfortable as my old bed. i love my old bed. love it. but ikea is cheap and pretty. the headboard is awesome. we kind of end up with a cramped room with it in there and the two chests of drawers we bought. but it looks great. and i got pretty sheets from target. the are pretty and chocolate colored with designs. i got a red duvet cover because we have a red wall in the bedroom... and i found the perfect pillow to pull it all together! i should be a bedding designer. 
so last night i finally got to put it all together and i think it is perfect. now i just need ot go buy more pillows for the pillow shams and we will be all done with the bedroom (we got all the non-red walls re-painted on sunday morning). after the sunday morning painting came the second and biggest trip to ikea of the weekend. on friday i went by myself to get light fixtures to replace all the fugly ones in the bedrooms and fixtures for the bathroom. sunday was bed and chests of drawers. monday was bedframe that they were out of on sunday. i will say that ikea is the greatest cheap place to have lunch. dave and i have discovered the 50 cent hot dogs. we can have a huge lunch, including dessert, for $4. awesome. we did that sunday and monday. we are pathetic. but the hot dogs rock. that ends my ode to ikea.
now i have to try to think about work.
