Yesterday, I patched all of the holes in the walls (with some help from Brian). Today, I put another coat of drywall compound on them. I think one more coat will do the trick and then I can finish painting in there. Brian is working on the vanity as we speak, so I think we’re going to be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel sometime soon. Whatever will I blog about when this project is finally done?
time to plant the garlic
I planted the garlic. 216 cloves to be exact. I got it in the ground just as it started to storm. Good timing. I was running a few weeks behind this year (I normally plant it in mid-October), but I don’t think that will matter much.

Brian finished wiring the wall sconces this afternoon and started on the drywall. I found out part of the reason why we’re so behind on this project–as soon as we get a little bit ahead, we’re like “hey, we’re ahead, let’s stop working!” On the plus side, this allowed me to clean up my butterfly garden this afternoon and work on my Christmas cards. On the minus side, we’d probably be done by now if we’d just keep working.

Brian and I caught this documentary last week. It was really funny (or it would’ve been if it weren’t so true). Now I realize that you can make anyone look bad and Michael Moore is a liberal filmmaker, but he had so much material to work with, I don’t know how he cut the film down to two hours. I don’t think this film would influence anyone one way or the other (if so, maybe you ought to pick up a newspaper and read it), but it did bring up some good points. Anyway, I liked it and I don’t normally go for documentaries, so it’s worth a look if you’re already leaning to the left.

More electrical work was done this evening–the one sconce is hooked up and the other one is ready to hook up. That said, if it all works, we are set for the weekend. Hoo-rah.
