Labor Day Labors
We really had a productive weekend. Achievements included:
- Finally getting Patrick's house ready to sell. We finished work on it, finished staging, had someone from Craigslist take down trees in exchange for the firewood, took stuff to compost, posted free furniture on Craigslist, and put together a brochure.
Asking price $204,900. Open house next Sunday 9/9 from 1-3 (we are pre-listing it to family and friends before using a realtor).

- Getting great shade plants on sale at the farmer's market and filling out the back bed. Also got new arborvitae and holly from Home Depot to replace the ones that died, and transplanted rhubarb from Patrick's. Although the back faucet does not work, we strung hoses back, which enabled us to water well.
- Ripping out the crappy linoleum in the nursery. It looks so much better! I also met with yet another person from Craigslist, who is going to install flooring in that room and the front room in exchange for vintage flooring I have just sitting around.
- Trying on tons of maternity clothes borrowed from my best friend — I am starting to feel more ready.
- Setting up my aunt's printer and back-up drive.
- Making apple butter (which was a failure, turned out like tar but I don't like apple butter anyway), applesauce (both of these from windfall apples), a big batch of tomato sauce, zucchini bread and banana chocolate-chip bread. Posted recipes to the alt-wiki.
- Steam cleaning all the rugs and stairs in the house. General cleaning and neatening (still lots to do though. I mean it.)
- Transferring all my music from my laptop to the server.
- Getting a great start of sorting the photos from my mom's.
- Attending great parties and an alt-get-together.
- Filling out forms and getting the teens ready for school.
- Getting the new car to work (entailed expensive new battery and lots of other excitement).
Let's hope the rest of September is equally productive!
