modgepodge of updates....

Lots going on...
1. 2nd cat is now adopted! Dave's coworker who cat sat over Thanksgiving, decided to adopt Juliet (who I guess is now Tabitha)! As a side not and for another update... we are not petless though...

2. We finally had luck installing a dining room light. It took 3 different companies to get it right. The first attempt, the finish started peeling off just by touching it. That light went back. The second attempt, felt a lot nicer and once it was up we stood back and just groaned. The sconces that should have been parallel to the ground were anything but. We kept that light up for a week until we double checked with the company and the store we bought it at, that it was indeed not supposed to be that way. That light went back. We tried a third company (all the exact same style of light) and we finally lucked out. Should be no surprise I guess that the cost of each light went up as we returned and rebought.

3. Decided we would paint. The colors in the front half of the house are mauve and blue. And with only one set of windows, it is too dark in here. Started to get ready to prime and realized we really need to mud/texture the walls to help fix/cover up what previous owners have done to the walls (paint over hangers in the concrete wall instead of removing/patching - that is just a start).

4. Emma is progressing with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star nicely. She gets hung up at one part since it is so similar to the previous line she just played. But we are working through it and she might be able to pass off on it by Tuesday.

5. That is all for now. Dave is going to start mudding the walls so I am going to get busy on something else.
