We saw friends and had good food and bad movie watching on Friday. Its so much fun putting geeks of different flavors in a room together. What was really funny, was that a friend's sister lives across the street from our old house in Framingham! Not much has changed in the old hood I fear.
We did a ton of work around the house this weekend. Our bathroom on the first floor is done (save painting the new door and installing a lock). Our den shelves are cut, sanded and stained and they will go in tonight. The antique bureau has the first coat of poly, and in the next few days I'll lightly sand and do the final coat. Things are finally coming together. :) We did a ton of window shopping last night and finally found new bedroom linens that we both like at of all places (and as a last resort), Wallmart. Our new bedroom will be decorated in warm colors which is a change for us, but change is good and we're excited by it. Our second floor bathroom will also match.
We'll have some free goodies for people (let me know if you want them):
-4 long sheer purple curtains (we've been using them on our canopy bed)
-3 long satin curtains from Target: they are fuschia,orange and red stripes with gold stitching in a very middle eastern pattern. They are only 6 months old or so, but we won't need them anymore.
-an over the door shoe rack. I bought one to hang in the closet, so I won't need the over the door variety anymore. Its for a full size, swinging door.
-Nightmare Before Christmas bathroom accessories: a shower curtain, jack o lantern soap pump, halloween outlet air freshener from Bath and Body works and some NMBC collectibles that we had up for decoration
Avon and LSL - we should have your bureau and media shelf for you soon! I promise :)
Saturday was the Worcester Movies in the Park event. Fallon Healthcare was VERY generous, and gave the 501st and Rebel Legion each a check for $300 to charity (The Jimmy Fund and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundations, respectively). Here's some pics:

My car is in the shop today for a 45k tuneup/checkout, and my front and rear brakes are almost gone. Its going to be an over $1k day, ouch!
