The house is a mess. Again.
Yesterday we went to my parent’s to pick up all my remaining stuff. C-R-A-Z-Y. I feel like some kind of perturbed rubbish-keeper, shopaholic and maniac. Sort of. We took both our cars with their specially huge trunks, and that wasn’t enough. Besides all my clothes, my remaining books and all the folders with my class notes since 1998, we had to carry a couple chests of drawers and about 5 plants. We left behind a couple of boxes and my class graduation photographs, but I believe we could say it was a successful trip.
Now, as I was saying, the house is a mess. Eric got quite mad at me last night saying there was no way we could fit so much stuff in our home and that most of it should go to the storage room in the basement, but I managed to make it look like it wasn’t so bad and he agreed that it may fit in our home. I’m not so sure, but I’ll give it a try this afternoon. I’ll be back home around 2.30PM and he won’t come back until around 9PM, so that should give me enough time to welcome him with to a nice tidy house. Will I be able to do it? Who knows.
Oh, by the way, on Saturday we finally gave a second coat of glossy white paint to our kitchen table! Now it looks great, and you can’t beat the feeling of finally finishing a project.Here’s a picture of our table before the paint:
And here it is in its glorious whiteness, with our tiny Aloe Vera on it (and waiting for some touch-ups):
It looks good, doesn’t it?
Now, there are good times ahead in the life of Gràcia and Eric. From Aug. 14th until the 17th (yes, we know, it’s just 3 days) we’re going away to Andorra! If you don’t know Andorra, it’s a little country in the heart of the Pyrenees, full of beautiful valleys, mountains and little villages. I’ve been going there on holidays since I was 6, and it’s about time I take Eric there, since he has never been there. You’ll see pictures as soon as we come back, we promise!
