Mom and Dad gave us a gift certificate to Rejuvenation Hardware for our anniversary. Friday, as part of our Christmas festivities Rob and I went to Rejuvenation to pick out a new light for our front hall. We won’t get the actual light until January seventh, but you can admire the computerized rendering of its future glory.

I’m very proud to report that I have finally finished scraping the paint and tarpaper off of our kitchen floor. I’m off to call around to get quotes on refinishing it. And to nurse the small burn on my right hand from a close encounter with the heat gun. Important lesson boys and girl: remember to put gloves on before you burn yourself. (Don’t worry, Mom and Dad, it’s not bad. It’s like a localized bad sunburn.)

Rob has gone off to Bethel Heights today and will be home tomorrow night. I was thinking about going with him, but the thought of packing a suitcase, even for an overnight trip, was not appealing. Which leaves me with two days alone in the house. I’m already wondering if I made the right choice.

Last night we went to see Shaun of the Dead which was a very funny zombie movie. That’s right…a comedy about zombies. It’s good harmless fun.
