The Weekend's Over; Our's is About to Begin...

So, since Monday is our Friday (usually, Jenny sometimes gets odd days off, but I always have Tuesday and Wednesday's off), our weekend is finally almost here. This week has seemed to go on forever....

Work has been getting busier and busier, plus we've been preparing ourselves for the release of the new Harry Potter book on Friday night. Both Borders and Hastings are having midnight release parties for the book and have been taking pre-orders for the last few months. We're now getting the wave of people who are starting to see the coverage on TV and either think the book is already out, or want to reserve a copy and are upset when I tell them I'll have to put them on a waitlist, since all of our initial orders have been spoken for. Well, luckily neither Jenny nor I have to work the party that night (she's opening and I work until 9, when the party starts). Still, I'm sure it'll be a big mess, and I get to be one of the openers the next morning!

With the weekend being so hectic, we've really not had much time to work on art or relax much, but we've been slowly rearranging the apartment some. We were planning on moving the couch, TV and bookcases into the larger bedroom and making it sort of a den/TV room. Then we discovered that the couch won't fit through the door....

So, we came up with plan B. Jenny's painting stuff is staying in there and we're moving all of the gaming stuff in as well (we still need to find a table though, I hate playing on the floor). My art stuff and the computer desk move into the dining/living room area and all of the comic boxes will finally leave the living room floor and go back in our bedroom. We've been here a year, and we're finally getting somewhat organized.

And on the home-front, there's still been some annoying yelling from neighbor kids; but no drunken singing, door slamming or late night radio blasting for a couple of days. Small victories, I suppose. Tomorrow I'll try to get the bathroom cleaned and hopefully we'll go thrift-store shopping for a table. Wednesday will be driving to Spokane for new comics (plus last week's) and maybe a movie or something. This Friday is our two year anniversary, and we'll both be at work, so we want to do something special before then to mark the occasion.

Now that Jenny's signed up for her own Blogger account, she's also set up a seperate blog for her art, you can check it out at http://jynesartstuff.blogspot.com.
