busy cleaning.

james and i cleaning right now. yes. as you can tell, i am hard at work sitting on the couch typing away while james is cleaning/straightening up/throwing out. that a boy. :]

"we" are working downstairs right now... getting the family room/mini kitchen area [i think it's called a wet bar, right?] all cleared out for his use. but "we" are almost done down here at which point, he will make me go upstairs and actually work.

oh! when we were in carson on saturday, we found the table i've been wanting to check out. they have a new pier one out there, and it's pretty big and nice. i found a lot of cool stuff in there, but i only bought the project table. i was thinking i wanted black, but then again... white seemed like a good option as well. lucky for indecisive amy, they were sold out of black, and since it was on clearance [!!!] i went with the white. and it wasn't like a target clearance [i love target, but come on... $14.99 marked down to $14.09 hardly counts as a "clearance".] it was nearly 50% off. such a lucky find. :]

that night, james' parents came back to reno with us, and we all went to dinner with my parents. it was the first time they had all met. it was fun, and now that the ice has been broken, maybe we can do more dinners and things. i'm thinking maybe james and i will have a joint graduation party here at the house, since it will be nice and clean and tidy by then. ha. :]

i have to say... james is seriously so good at moving and actually unpacking things. he only has one more box of stuff that's not unpacked. he started moving in on saturday afternoon and finished yesterday, and he's basically settled in. meanwhile, i still have boxes upstairs from when i moved out of my apartment almost 3 years ago. bad. bad. bad.

so yeah. so far, so good. the only problem is that helix is having a hard time realizing this is his new home. he feels out of his element i think, and he's been barking quite a bit at my parents and anyone else who comes in the house. i'm really hoping that it will improve within a few days.

ok. i just got the "ames... i little help please?" comment, so i guess i better go get to work. :]
