We closed on the house yesterday morning and spent the rest of the day moving a few boxes over to the house as well as purchasing a gazillion dollars worth of appliances, paint and supplies at lowes. It was quite a whirlwind and I'm glad its all over. I have the keys on my keyring and they will have to pry them from my awesome ninja grip to get them back.

Munch and Mr. Fruitychick just left for their big trip up to Wisconsin for the holiday and I'm going to spend the next few days doing a lot of playing with boxes:

Somehow, I doubt I will have as much fun as the Munch does when shes playing with boxes.

I'll also be painting the most offensive areas....like the (currently) blood red office (soon to be a nice shade of pale green) and these kitchen cabinets:

(munchkin for scale)

They aren't particularly awful cabinets, I guess--but that room is so terribly dark, some nice white cabinets and shiny stainless steel appliances will do the room a world of good.

You know...and stripping the red flowered wallpaper, circa 1986.

Happy Holidays! I'll post some update photos to flickr, in case anyone is interested but I'll be on a short blog hiatus until next week when I'll be blogging from our NEW HOUSE!!! woohoo!!!
