the house.

we finally made a dent in organizing the house this weekend. trips to IKEA, target, and other places and then we rearranged our bedroom and it FINALLY feels like a peaceful place (we moved the bed away from the windows and it's less loud now).

friday night we picked up milkshakes and fries at good stuff eatery, and i really think they make the best chocolate milkshakes i've had in DC. we walked around the neighborhood for about an hour with the new camera and had such a relaxing evening. then we headed home to build an IKEA wardrobe and stayed up till 1am nailing and drilling things into the wall - i'm sure our downstairs neighbors LOVED us.

saturday we finished building the wardrobe, got our car washed at the boy scout fundraiser, went on an IKEA run, ate bagels at georgetown bagelry. at night we had a private tour of the national building museum, thanks to alan and marci! it was one of the coolest museums i've ever been in. then we dined at burma in chinatown, and headed back to our apartment for a music night with friends. really, really fun.

sunday was church, then we spent all day working on the house. good thing today was trash today because i swear we threw away half of our house, and it feels SO much better to be here.

i'm at home sick today. my stomach has not been kind to me lately - it's getting a little old. i think i'm going to go for another walk around the neighborhood and try to get rid of this sourness.

sooo...how was YOUR weekend?

sorry about the sickies. i know the feeling All Too Well. i took off the second half of today because i was having a hard time getting through work.

and isn't the building museum gorgeous? that was the only thing i liked about working there.
