Oh, and we're headed to Harry Potter IV

I can't wait - I just hope we can both stay up thru the whole thing!!! Opening night, first showing at Pioneer Place downtown - wonder if it will be crowded??

Melo and Le Tub

Here it is - in the spare bedroom, still wrapped in plastic, but its here!!! And, you can check out Flickr for photos of the latest progress on the bathroom--we now have mostly painted walls and wainscoating!!! I think tomorrow is the finishing rounds of painting and maybe a bit of cement backer board so the floor tiling can begin . . .

Behold the progress

Captain, there be walls here . . . , or there will be once I upload the latest pictures to Flickr. Right now, we're down at FFA to utilize their showers, which are a lot nicer than the dungeon ones at Standard.

We now have moulding, and wainscoating, and of course, le tub!!!! I will post Josh's summary of events leading to us actually (and finally!) getting the tub and then getting said tub up to the second floor. It is awesome, and I just hope to goodness that it fits!! The bathroom is really coming together, its just nice to have walls again. Tomorrow we should see the first coat of the color. Right now, I am not too sure about what we picked out, but Josh says its good - we'll have to see once its on the walls. Slowly but surely the bathroom remodel is coming along. I sure won't miss that port-a-potty at 6 am in the dark and cold!!

TA - DA!!!

No, its not the bathroom. With a howl of disappointment that could be heard in Montana, in a conversation with our contractor Ron yesterday I realized/remembered it will be another WHOLE week til we have a bathroom back. But it is the coolest new piece of furniture from Cost Plus. It is stylish, holds all of my yarn, and we had 25% off the entire purchase (so we did a little Christmas/Hanukkah shopping, too). Wow, the yarn stash must have been really, really bad because Josh was excited to get this piece. It does look really nice - the picture doesn't do it justice, nor does the pile of finished projects to the right which are there til I figure out where they are going!!

Banner Day for the Rosenbaum Bowling Team

Josh broke his personal best with a 204, and I managed my best of 126 in a bowl-a-thon with Jack and Rob at good old Interstate Lanes. It must have helped that we rested up yesterday - the Cronin Crud seems to have made its way to Josh's cube and he's been fighting something most of the week. Go Josh - he had 7 strikes and was on fire!! With his unique style, he's destined for the PBA. Good thing my friend Jen at work has a partner that works for the PBA. ESPN 8, the Ocho, here we come!!!

Bowling, watching the first disc of A&E's Pride and Prejudice, making blueberry muffins and egg nog lattes was much more rewarding than going into work. So much so that I might not totally want to jump off the 26th floor when tomorrow morning and work comes around, but it might take another muffin or two and another egg nog latte to keep me from jumping. Tomorrow the new person starts and let's just say, I am predicting big steve-o-ness possibilities in this one. Good thing I will be running around frantically trying to get the things I should have been doing this weekend done!!!
