Living Room Project - Progress

Our living room is slowly starting to take shape. This has been a work in progress for almost two years now.

Definitely a new couch is needed as the cats, not just Nodame, have essentially flattened down the back rests of the couches that we currently have. Plus, that couch is circa apartment era so a new set is long overdue.

It's got to be hardy to survive four cats and comfortable enough for our family and friends.

Purchases of the Week: February 26, 2011

Closet Maid Pantry Cabinet 

Nate actually has been buying a few blu-ray but this is a house purchase for him. We have a small kitchen and space is a premium. We didn't like how we were storing goods on the counter or on the table. There's just too much stuff out and we want things neat. Our pots and pans tend to take a lot of space. I have a Harry Potter style closet under the stairs and I store our cooking appliances there. Hopefully, this will help organize our kitchen to be more efficient.

Someone asked me, "Why are there no toys featured on Purchases of the Week?" Well... we buy toys all the time. It's a norm and I like to highlight non-toy purchasing. This year, Nate and I agreed we need to cut down on toy buying and concentrate on the house and make it into a home.

I have been thinking about posting more toy stuff, food and other things too. Whatever comes to mind really. I just need to set aside time to do it and it looks like late night is the only time I have.

Busy Bee

Nate and I have been so busy these last couple of months. Home repairs, school, work, my sister's wedding and searching for a new canine companion has made our lives quite hectic.

Project Cat Trap - Was a success! We missed only three males but without females to breed with the colony is basically stable and not exploding with new kittens. 

Myaa died - An un-diagnosed heart condition took our sweet little stray cat. We did our best to make her comfortable in her last days. 

Wedding Frenzy - Finished! My sister got married on a rainy day last February. Nate finally danced with me for the first time. LOL

I am job! - My sister got a job and is no longer unemployed! YAY! 

Litter Robot - Got it and my cats are happier. Especially Nodame, clean freak!

Breeder Quest - Found a breeder I am pleased with and we're in the middle of negotiations. 

Home Repairs - Nate completely replaced our toilet which was not functioning well, replaced the tub spout that he broke and re-caulked the tub. He's learning man fix skills!

I also splurged on a butt load of games and currently playing Final Fantasy XIII! I got Bayonetta, Dead Space and Gears of War 2.

We've got family coming down from up north and we'll probably clean this weekend in preparation for our guests.

Toy wise we've been getting some nice pieces here and there. I again splurged on some Sarumons and Uamous.

I need to sell off a bunch of Western stuff that I can live without. It's just a matter of taking the pictures, packing it up and listing them on ebay is very tedious. Gotta build that SDCC warchest!
