Today is a relaxing day for me, and a productive one. I had class in the morning, but get to spend the afternoon working from home, writing. I love to be in the office–the M.I.N.D. Institute is still magical to me–and I love to be out in the field doing intervention with our babies and kiddos, but I always feel so relaxed when I get a whole afternoon to write. I punctuate my writing with errands or cleaning tasks, so I get double the amount done.

Tonight one of our professors is throwing a dinner party for us to celebrate passing prelims. I just swung by the market to pick up sparkling lemonade and French berry lemonade to bring, as well as a frozen pizza for Nik since he is being abandoned tonight.

Tomorrow will be another class-errand-writing type of day, and then Saturday is the first monthly First Saturday Dinner and a Movie. I’m so excited about it. I have a whole meal planned and the movie…should be…arriving in the mail today.

Now time for lunch!

So…the house has closed, we have keys, and we’ve been busy working on it!  I don’t feel like going through all the steps to upload pictures, but here is a link to some: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2018743&id=1262058331&l=699a7  Maybe Nik will feel like adding them officially onto here, but it’s kind of a complicated process and soon I am going out with my friends, hence short time…

We are going to be painting all the bedrooms, and redoing the floors.  Today we got quite a bit done, more than I thought we could.  All the nail/tack/pin holes are patched, and we cleaned the walls of the office, and put up three paint testers.  There was only one small injury wherein I scrubbed the wall too ferociously, and the sponge flew across the room and my hand smacked the wall.  But it’s been a lot of fun and is going well.  I thought Nik was right behind me, coming home just now…but he’s been gone an extra hour or so–not sure what he’s up to.

The quarter is almost over (one more class) and tonight my friends and I are going out to celebrate.  Better go get ready…
