So this weekend was pretty much just working around the house. Saturday was moving stuff around and organizing. I also baked cookies that day. They were the Apple Chocolate Chip cookies (replace walnuts w/ chopped apples and cook for a bit longer). It was nice to see the house start to take shape. We also learned that we are in desperate need of another bookshelf. With the addition of Shannon's books, we now have two overflowing bookshelves. I swear, one night we'll wake up and hear a noise, and it'll be those shelves collapsing under their own weight. The cookies turned out pretty well. I made them for a Franklin Ave Block party. It was being held across the street from my house, in a lot that apprently used to have houses there. But is now being leased by one of the people that live next to it. We headed over there are 6:20 PM and hung out and ate. We met quite a few of our neighbors, including the guy with the M&M truck, who, as it turns out, is just a fan, and not like the regional distrubitor of them... It was kinda nice. Not that I remember anyone's name, cause I'm awful at it. But there are quite a few more kids in the neighborhood then I remember. Everyone reffered to my house as the house where the big dogs used to live. Lots of nice people in the neighbor hood. I also found out that my neighbors to the west of me apprently work for the paper...so that's kinda interesting, I guess. After a while we got headed back to our house and kinda sat around and watched TV.
Sunday, we striagtened more. We got the house relatively organized and all we really had left to do was clean. We were thinking about going to visit the campers, but were were tired and the storm that was coming looked big and looming. Sunday was also our 6 month anniversery. We couldn't really go out to eat (I'm poor until tomarrow) or really do anything, so...we stayed at home.
Monday, we cleaned! And boy did we. With Shannon to drive me, we got the house cleaner then it's probably ever been. After that, we were lazy. We thought long and hard about going out and seeing some other fireworks, but we didn't get motiviated to leave the house. We did eat a lot of the cookies I made though :)
So it's Tuesday now and I'm about half a day away from getting paid and then paying a medical bill. And then I also need to figure out how I'm gonna pay another chunk of change to pay for my portion of a crown that I apprently need. *sigh* So much for having extra money.
I'm throwing a little bash this weekend for my friends, to celebrate my 29th year of life. I was hoping Ben and Nathan would be there, but they won't be. Maybe Richard will show up (he's back from Russia). I'll probably call his house and see.
I was talking to Shannon last night, and our house really seems like a home now. Espically since I don't really have empty rooms anymore. That dining room table also did a lot (even if it's surrounded by chairs that don't match).
