Is it Monday already?

Currently Reading: Orion by Ben Bova

So how did it get to be Monday already? Seems like I just posted my last message here a few days ago. Seems like we just went shopping for food the other day. And yet, according to the calendar, all those things happened last week. I guess all this peaceful apartment life is starting to make me lose track of time :-)

We've really been enjoying ourselves lately. What's funny though is that we're not usually doing anything special.

This past Thursday, we DID go out to the botanical garden for a show and that was really cool. They had a display of Ikebana flower arrangments and kimonos as well plus a tour of the Japanese garden there. Had a ball feeding the koi :-)

We're still working on getting things just right here. Decorating is a bit tough when you're on a budget. Things have to wait. The biggest problem is still the HUGE white space over the fireplace. We've had several ideas as to what to put up there but nothing has been decided yet.

And no dining room table either yet. Actually we still joke about that. If you take all the money we've spent on OTHER things (things most people would consider less important) we could have bought that dinning room set 2 or 3 times over :-) And just between you and me and the rest of the world, there are probably a few other things we'll buy before we get the table. Right now we're just doing fine with TV trays and sort of ignore that big empty space over by the kitchen :-)

There are a few things that we still need to buy and areas that need decorating. The bedroom, for example, is pretty much done just for utility. The bed is in there. The clothes are there. The TV is hooked up but that's it. The walls are all blank and there's no other furniture or decoration in there yet. We still haven't decided on what theme to go with and since we only spend time in there sleeping, it's low priority.

Yes, things are going just super over here. Unfortunately that makes the blog entries a little less exciting. I realize that so what I'm going to do is try and stir up some trouble :-) Or maybe I'll tell stories about things I've seen here in the apartment complex. You really do see some funny stuff if you just watch what other people are doing.

Those stories I'll save for next time. Right now I think I'll just enjoy the peace a little longer :-)
