I woke up today sore in places I didn't even realize I had.
Another 6am to 10 pm day of work today. Worked until 3, then went to the house and worked until 10. What fun.
Today was a big day. Dad and I met at the house at 3:30 and started to lay tile in the kitchen!!!We got all the whole pieces of tile down and set. We'll do the special cut pieces tomorrow, and then hopefully start on the bathroom and/or foyer. 4 days until the big move. I'm starting to get a little antsy...
So, Scott finally came with me to see the house today. He liked it, and seems to be more excited about it now. That's good. :)
Last night Scott & I went to dinner at Farattos, and I had the most delicious chicken and broccoli pasta ever. Then we went to Yucandu in Webster Groves. It was an excellent time. If you follow that link, you can read all about them. They're an artsy crafty studio where you can do everything from mosaics to decoupage to painting to jewelry making to whatever. Scott started on a decoupage box, and I made a mosaic tile. We'll probably go back next week to finish out things. I still have to grout my tile. I'm pretty excited about it. This was my first mosaic, and it wasn't as super awesome as I'd hoped, but it was neat to do and learn. So far, I've learned the very important lesson of looking at the back to see which side is the top (it has a little hole for hanging), because if you don't, you'll end up like me - with your tile hanging upside down or on it's side. That's okay though. Good learning process. You can also get larger tiles, and do a photo mosaic. I am *SO* doing this next time we go. It will make a great wall hanging to put in my new house. :)
