We love the library here... so many more readily available materials then at the library in DeForest. Luckily they are both hooked up to the same system (Linkcat), where you can reserve materials from the many other libraries in the system.

I borrowed The Legend of Hell House (an old black and white horror flick) two mysteries by Susan Wittig Albert featuring China Bayles as the woman slueth... lawyer turned herb store owner turned mystery solver, and DH borrowed six photography magazines... He's really excited about their photography books because they have a much larger selection and a lot of good titles.

We also went to Movie Gallery, where we had gotten a gift card with $27 for signing up... strange amount but it probably adds up to a certain amount of rentals. We got Spellbound (it follows a group of kids in a spelling bee championship and their crazy parents... It's from the makers of Best in Show.... a flick that follows dogs and their crazy owners in a dog show), and the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

DH doesn't really like horror movies, but he's never seen it before and I wanted to see what they changed around in the new one so.... We watched this one last night and it was good. I actually jumped a few times and I liked how they changed the ending around.
We still have to watch Spellbound, but it's a week rental.

I may be getting my first secret shopper job soon, I applied so hopefully!

We brought in the living room furniture (couch, entertainment center, tv, and electronics) and Spyros's desk yesterday. My back was sore this morning, but it feels better now. The living room is actually starting to resemble one... and I was able to put away a box of DVDs... : )

I've been folding clothes all morning since our closet is a lot smaller and we'll need a dresser/armoire to fit them all. We're going to us an old icebox chest that was left in the garage and conver it into an armoire with four shelves inside.
The front and side that will be showing look great, but the left side (which won't be showing) and the top need some work. We're going to cut a piece of paneling (from the paneling we tore down), and put in on top. Then we'll take some fabric from a bedskirt we aren't using, but that matches the comforter and staple/glue it on top of the paneling.

DH is going out with the boys in Madison tonight, so I'm going to spend the night at my Mom's. I'll be helping her move the huge fish tank tomorrow... not fun.
