Happy Independence Day! I'm always reminded of the mind bender question of yore which asks, "Does England have a fourth of July too?" to which the answer is "Yes, and a fifth of July, and a sixth ..."
Anyhow, We're officially in the house. I'm pretty sure I've said that. It's not in the least pulled together, but the nursery is completely done -- we bought the rug today (which Ikea does not have on their web site for me to show you). We also brought my new china cabinet in from the garage and I got to fill it, which totally excited me. I love organizing. It's really sad.
Spencer has croup. He started sounding hoarse Wednesday night and he didn't sound any better Thursday morning so I brought him in to see the doctor before the long weekend and it's a good thing I did. We caught it early; he never got the barking cough, just very hoarse when he cried or laughed and a dry cough. Too, since we caught it early it doesn't seem that the steroids they put him on haven't adversely affected him either; he hasn't been especially cranky or had any diarrhea.
Since he was feeling okay we went ahead and went to Ikea today. I'll be so happy when the one here gets built. We drove over for this cabinet and left 4 hours and $700 later. I wanted two of the cabinets but I couldn't bring myself to drop that much money on cabinets when the rest of my house isn't put together yet. Plus, we've been toying with the idea of building a library with Ikea bookcases, and that's far too much money to actually happen right now. I'm sticking with all my old bookcases.
And Spencer had peas tonight, and loved them -- it was so funny; I took pictures and hopefully I'll load them up tomorrow.
Anyhow, Toodles! PS- tomorrow is my birthday! So actually, 46 minutes from now ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Well, Happy Birthday, April! I'm glad Michele sent me, so I could say that!
Happy belated birthday!
And I also love organizing. Staying organized isn't my strong suite, but I love setting up a new place. That's when I actually alphabetize all of my books and organize them into fiction and non-fiction, etc. But after about a year I'll have so many books that they'll all be out of order.
A few years ago my mother-in-law bought me a nice book case for my birthday. I splurged to buy a second and I really do love them. After a few years though they're stacked double with books (books I've read are in the back) and I've had to make an effort to start packing up books once I've read them. I need a library room. I can't wait until we can buy a house again.
