The Highly Productive Weekend

Although it rained all weekend (unusual for this summer), we really got a lot done on Patrick's house (laid carpet, finished laying tile, refinished the floor, did some staging, deep cleaned, completely cleaned out the basement, waxed the basement floors, installed the doorbell, staged a the living room and bathroom, etc.). The only things left to do are ones we can't really do in the rain — move over some large furniture and deal with the back yard. Unfortunately, the yard is so bad that napalm is the only treatment that immediately comes to mind, but even with that minor hurdle, I think we'll have it on the market by the end of the month. Know anyone who wants to buy a house?

We also spent some very good friend time. My friend Kelly is my birthday twin, and his celebration was delayed a week until last night. He and his professor wife Laura live in Menomonie, and always throw great, talk-y, cozy parties. With so much going on, we haven't made it to one of their get-togethers in quite some time, but this was a "must" and we had a great time. Then this morning was a yummy TC-Alt brunch at the Longfellow, which was the perfect way to start the day. Now I am considering more productivity (making curtains? zucchini bread? cleaning my desk?), but also feel a little like I am coming down with a cold, so may lay low for a little.
