yesterday i spent the morning doing chores, hung a new towel rack in the bathroom, then started on my latest project: my bedroom. i'm trying to find a place for everything instead of moving stuff around constantly. while i was at it a baked some banana muffins for shannon's jubilee.
the jubilee was really lovely. it was fun and full of such a positive energy. i had a lot of stuff to give away from the stuff exchange and it was very funny the way that everything joanne took seemed to come from my house. it made me laugh when she said she should just come to my house and take all my things. the confessional booth was fantastic, and sadly i don't have any photos of it, but visit shanno's blog, i'm sure she'll post some.
after that i went home and continued working on my room. it quickly became apparent that i simply needed more shelves, because i found over 2 dozen books in my room in need of a place to belong. so i went to rona, and bought some shelving, went home and went to task. it bothered the carpenter in brendan a great deal that i was going to install shelves without a level, or even so much as a stud finder. but i insisted that i didn't need either, and in the end, installed those shelves wonderfully and he was very proud of me. see below. i got that globe from the stuff-swap at the jubilee, it's at least 40 years old. it still has tibet marked as it's own country, so maybe it's older than 40 years.
while i worked on the shelves i baked a cake for my dad's birthday. it was a day of multitasking for sure. baking and drilling.
my dad turned 65 yesterday. we had a get together at joy's place, it was fun. i met my dad's girlfriend e-anne for the first time, she's very nice, i've spoken to her on the phone quite a bit, so i knew i would like her. that really interesting because i haven't met any of my dad's girlfriends in 17 years. and the fact that i was comfortable with it is super. erin is doing well. she's tiny tiny, and seems to bear a resemblance to joy. she was a little fussy but generally pretty good. the other 3 were doing well too and seem to really be getting used to brendan which is nice.
when i left joy's place i went to the mansion because b was performing with graven. he did well, even thought he felt the set wasn't ace. it was super late and i was super tired, so he walked me home then went back for the last band. i was soon fast asleep.
i must have been lost around the time that i found you.

When I read 'e-anne' I thought 'electroic anne', just like e-mail, but that's probably not right. lol.
Am looking forward to working with your dad again soon. He seems to be a sweet guy.
