Summer update

What's up this summer?
Several home improvement projects:

• removing two hideous wallpaper borders and priming/painting underneath (one done, one to go on this front)
  
• adding knobs and replacing hinges in the kitchen
• replacing light fixtures in kitchen and hallway (with D's help, I wouldn't do the electrical stuff by myself)
• repairing/repainting parts of the ceiling in the great room

Also in preparation for the probable move next year: going through/getting rid of stuff we don't need or want any more...I keep asking myself, do I really want to move (insert item here) across the country and/or pay to put it in storage if we don't have room for it wherever we go? Because a post-doc position is often short-term (as in 1-3 years), we may end up in a much smaller place for that time before we end up "settling" somewhere, so we could end up putting some things in storage.

Also, I have some curriculum development work to do and I'm going to finish my wedding album, darn it!

I've been making myself a to-do list every day that I am home, which seems to help me stay on task better. NPR keeps me company a LOT while I am here by myself.
