3 more days!

I am getting more and more excited about my upcoming trip to visit Paul! As the details are coming together, I am actually believing it’s happening! Let’s see, Olivia is three months old now, so I guess that means it’s been 3 months since I last saw him. It’s been a year and a half since I’ve been to New England, so it will be fun to see his work, his house, and meet his roommate. And his kitty. :-)…

room rearranging

So I’ve decided that I need a dining room table. I thought I could get by okay without it, but it’s so much easier to have people over when you have a place to eat, and it would be nice to have a flat surface for doing things (i.e. crafts). Also, I need a place to eat where the cats know they’re not allowed – as it is, they like to come up and sniff my food and it’s really…
