Saturday morning, and Im going to look at furniture today. I figure, if I cant buy the house right away, at least I can look for stuff to fill it! Actually, I have a second bedroom thats posing as a large closet right now. Ive always had a one bedroom and now that I have a second, I need to find a bed and some other furnishings. Id like to make it a sewing room slash guest room.
Plus, Im hostessing Thanksgiving this year, and Ill need some extra sleeping space. Not only am I having the feast, but Im also throwing a party that night. Not sure what Im getting myself into here. Do you know that I havent thrown a real party since my college days? And lets face it. Is a college party a real party? My college parties consisted of making a flyer and photocopying it, getting a keg from the liquor store across the street (verrrry convenient!), buying a few snacks, and making sure I had music all lined up. This is a whole new animal for me.
Anyone have any great/simple recipes theyd like to share? Yall know Im not a cook. Ive done the Thanksgiving thing before, but its pretty overwhelming knowing that I need to have party grub for afterwards too.
Went to an art gallery crawl last night. What fun! The weather was brilliant, the crowd entertaining, and the galleries were a fantastic discovery. I went with my friend Jill and two of her guy friends. Jen showed up a little later.
I loved going to the pottery galleries. My grandparents were potters by profession, and I feel comfortable and at home around beautiful works of pottery. Sometimes the more simple, the better. Id really like to go back and explore the area when I have more time and when the crowds arent so thick.
One of the more popular galleries featured Arne Svensons sock monkey portraits:
Why do I love these little guys so much??
And in the window, the gallery featured someone elses sock monkey creations. I didnt catch who did these, but they were kind of interesting. And naked.
Adam and Eve Monkey?
Afterwards, the group went to a great little restaurant to eat small dishes of yummy, yummy food (I had spicy salmon..mmmmm.) and then went to a bar. Verrry interesting dynamics happening within this new little group of friends. I dont really have a lot of time to get into it. Plus, Im just starting to see whats happening here. Ill wait until I have further knowledge to report.
Well, I better get moving. I was going to go to the bank this morning to see about prequalifying for a mortgage to see just what kind of trouble Im getting myself into. But I think Ill just move on to the furniture shopping.
Oh. I called LDL last night. Im in trouble.
I love the weekend!
