joy came over tonight and we had a great time rearranging my living room (again) and tearing out the ugly wallpaper in my bathroom. i have so many memories as kids helping my parents tear down wallpaper. but it was so much easier tonight because we got the paper really really damp. i don't know what those people were smoking when they hung that horrid paper, but i think they pasted over top some other paper, because there was like 3 layers! we had a really good talk. its funny how i've spent my whole life thinking joy and i were soooo different, but i actually think we're more alike than i realized. i was pleasantly surprised to discover she's been having a lot of the same thoughts i have lately, we're really on the same wave length. i wonder to myself, how can this be? we're at such different stages of life right now, we're so different, but we're 2 peas in a wacky pod. we're bound to be similar. its funny that my place is filled with our old furniture. joy doesn't have any of my parents stuff, but i need it and she doesn't.
the other day i saw a guy bike past my house with a large t.v. on his lap. then seconds later i heard this clunk sound outside the window and wondered what it was. then realized the guy had just past so rushed to the window to see him, his bike and his t.v. lying in the street. it was pretty funny until i realized i should probably help him. i started to rush to the door when i got distracted by another box that needed to be unpacked and as a result didn't make it out there. again, i'm a bad person. however... what kind of idiot tries to ride a bike with a large t.v.??

i went through the horror of dewallpapering a room a few years ago when i re-made our den into my bedroom. i could never get it damp enough, and it came off in the most annoying and tiniest little strips. it was like trying to take one of those supersticky price tags off something - no matter what, they always leave a film....grrr...i will never wallpaper my future home.
that is my rant for now. :P
glad you're settling into your place!

i'm with you 100%!! wallpaper = bad. sorry to hear about your problem. my old man friend at work (david ferrence) is going to bring me in some TSP tomorrow, which supposedly gets rid of any and all excess gunk.
hope you're enjoying being at home :)
I once read about the evils of synthetic fabrics. I thought whoever wrote the article was kooky. Then I began to pay attention to how I was feeling and what I was wearing and realized that if I was in polyester from head to toe I was bound to be totally irritable all day long.
oh polyester... its supposedly very flamable and yet so crinkle-free! i think you're right. although, 100% wool and i don't get along either. itchy.
