That's my haul from Ikea last night. I wavered about doing it right now, thinking it might be premature to get everything, but since J&J and the blue girl will be staying with me at the end of the month, I need a crib set up anyhow. And having a twin bed set up will be useful for people staying over too. And given that I was planning to use the delivery service (which is a flat fee no matter how much you have delivered), picking up the buffet I planned to get "sometime" made sense. (That gold cylinder you see is a lampshade that wasn't on my list, but was on sale! That said, I didn't pick up even a fraction of the extra impulse stuff that I usually do when I'm there-- having a list and being on a strict time-table was key!)
I want to paint the wooden bed before I put it together, which more or less means painting it tonight. Not sure of color, though-- possibly just out of same color of cheery green that I've been planning for the dining room chairs?

Signed up for pre-service training last week-- starts on Sept 6th, should be done by the start of November!
Also got tickets for Italy in October, to do that trip before I have a chance of placements.
Moving and travelling has been eating up my time lately-- the fact that I'm still not set up enough in the new place to feel "moved in" is frustrating, but I remind myself that I've been out of town for a LOT of the last month + a half. Last night was a huge step forward, though-- got a few things (knife holder, pictures, etc) attached to walls. Crazy what a difference that makes!
