Who's around today?

[mrs.jacinthe]

What are you up to?

I'm working, then I'm going to try to get a coat of paint onto my sewing table this afternoon.

I'm sort of around. I'm at work and then plan to spend tonight making some appetizers for tomorrow and enjoying the quiet before the chaos of family on Thursday.

I am home making a gravy ( I'm italian so we call it gravy... Most people call it sauce or marinara). I am bringing the pasta course tomorrow. Then off to physical therapy this afternoon. Chicken parm for dinner tonight. I am trying a new recipe tomorrow morning from the new skinnytaste.com cookbook. Corny Banana- Blueberry pancakes! Hope everyone enjoys their day tomorrow!

Me. Working. Hoping to leave around 3:00. I want to make my cheesecake and tidy up the house a bit before DH and DD get home. And open a bottle of wine.

I'm here but shouldn't be. It's been a busy day, and we're taking a break. We picked up some stuff from the grocery, our little monster got his rabies shot, and we picked up some raw goat's milk for him as well.

I need to work on homework desperately. Later today I'll be baking rolls, marinating brussels sprouts, and baking an apple upside down cornbread cake. I'll make the rest of the food tomorrow morning.

I'm riding in the car right now. Later I'm going to hobby lobby and we are doing dinner out with MIL

I'm at home hoping my son takes a long nap. His school is closed today so I'm home with him but I didn't anticipate that I'd have bronchitis. Ugh. DH is supposed to come home from work early bc he knows I'm miserable.

I took off all week in order to move. We moved most of the big stuff. Now we just have a million small trips to get the small stuff.

Here's our living room furniture. Can't decide which layout to go with. Thoughts? I like the chairs by the windows but don't like that one is blocked from view by the couch. I also like them separate but J thinks the one on the right will block our walkway to our bedroom.

ditzydi - why not do the couch square to the fireplace like in the 2nd photo and the chairs near the window like in the 1st photo?

I finally have a chance to hang out here for a bit. I went to run a couple of quick errands this morning and wound up being gone for three hours....mostly because people (like my daughter in Japan who hasn't called in a month) chose to call, yak in my ear and distract me. I only forgot one thing at Target (kind of important, but DH picked it up at lunch) and one at the market (non essential, but was one of 3 things that I went to the market for). lol

Now I am trying to figure out what I can prep or make ahead for tomorrow...just to make it a little more relaxing tomorrow. I should be cleaning, but I would rather cook than straighten up the living room and declutter the coffee table. ;p

There is a wall to the left of the fireplace that's wired for the tv. So the couch is square to that wall and the tv.

I went to Costco and Target. Now I need a nap.

Oh I was confused.  I thought they were here for Thanksgiving and that was why the furniture rearrange.  But I do remember now that other stuff you've said wouldn't make sense with them coming on Thanksgiving.  Just ignore me while I sit in the corner and ramble to myself

Rambling is fine. I've had a glass of wine, so it made perfect sense. Lol

Checking in. I'm sipping coffee, roasting vegetables, and doing paperwork.
