oi vey and too cute!

so today we've started the gutting of my office.... anybody who knows me, knows i'm a packrat and keep everything since the second grade or so!!! today was pretty painful but 9 huge trash bags and two big shred boxes later, oh yeah, and some guy buying the drafting table off us... oh yeah and re and jo moving my desk into todd's office.... my office is pretty damn empty! those guys rock! i got my hanging fruit basket hanging up finally, my long shelf up above the tv area, all the dead plants in the dumpster... all for the low price of 40 clove of garlic chicken. it was freakin' amazing, by the way!!!

so, we're getting everything off the floor that we can (ie, clean out closets and piles of schtuff) so it's easy to move stuff downstairs in two weeks when wee and todd rip up the carpet and put in the laminate. my motivation today was not having to vacuum the upstairs, woohoo! i cannot wait to have nice smooth, cork underlined dark hardwood flooring all upstairs; nice short, clean carpet on the stairs; and cool, natural kota honey limestone in the upstairs bathroom. ahhhhhhh.... so looking forward to a new old place!!!

ok, back to the garlic chicken- so freakin' easy! the garlic cloves were soft and mild and were smeared on the bread and toasted deliciously and there were no leftovers-the only thing that was left was crumbs from the bread and thyme twigs in the pan. and re made her famous pudding dessert for t & y's b-days, so freaking cool. now, i'm so sore, and i didn't even push myself, i can only imagine how those three feel after hauling all of my shit around today to the dumpster, to storage and around the house. we got a huge chunk of the work done, stuff listed on craigslist, stuff thrown out... thanks again guys, you rock!

cim sent me this cute parenting funny... enjoy!
