Whirlwind of a week

I almost have to go backwards to remember everything. I'll start with today and the 3 hours we spent in IKEA!! I thought Ryan would die, we came out with $240 worth of stuff and not a ton to show for it. Ryan is maddeningly trying to put together a file cabinet, so far has been 3 hours into the project. Why does furniture assembly have to take so long? Something tells me we won't be going back there anytime soon.... At least we ate Swedish meatballs!

Although I only was called in twice to work this week--once as a diet tech, the time just flow with stuff going on every night. I haven't been this busy socially since, well, I can't remember. I went to a book club which was held at a bookstore in a quirky area called Queen Anne. It was only an hour and unlike any other book club experience I've ever had--it actually stayed on topic. Ok, but that might have been its downfall as well. No time to get to know the others or talk of other books. The oddest thing was there were 2 dogs in attendance!! Am I living in Europe or the US??!!

On to some dangerous notes: I went to 2 DiscoverU classes: one on travel writing and the other on supporting your wanderlust. Which as you all know, I have been majorly bitten by the traveling bug and cannot and do not wish to get it out of my system. In fact, the more I travel, the more I want, it's truly an insatiable quest for me. So am thinking what better way to include this love than to try to make it happen as a career. More on this as I figure it out..... My research has begun!

The house has been given a facelift with much-needed curtains and furniture rearrangement! We've made the step tansu/entertainment center into a half-wall which opens up the living room tremendously, it's amazing what a few well-placed items can do for the space. Next up: getting rid of the beloved comfy couch and recliner!!!
