Slightly belated spring cleaning

So, I heart Rosie, and also her friend Kath. They were both so friendly and smart and funny and down-to-earth and I really enjoyed dinner and chatting with them. Seriously, they are awesome and I can't wait to get together with them again. I'm finally starting to feel like I have friends in Denver! And plus they are both very much in touch with the whole Denver blog scene so I am looking forward to future bloggy get-togethers.

Plus, it's already Thursday! Today I'm working and tonight I'm thinking about going to see Sunshine Cleaning, and then it will be tomorrow and tomorrow is the day that Torsten comes home! It feels like he's been away forever but it also feels like the week has gone by fast.

Yesterday I also (finally) unpacked and set up my office. The only thing left is to hang up some of the photos and art and my bulletin board, and then it will be ready for me to photograph to send to my boss (who wants to see out of curiosity and niceness, nothing else), and of course, show to all of you! There's even a rug in there, and Montana loves it in there because there's a window that gives her a perfect view into a tree that doubles as a popular squirrel hangout. It's really nice. I'm so glad I can work without being surrounded by boxes.

Also on the schedule for tomorrow: an oil change! And headlight adjustment and brake check. My life is fascinating, isn't it? But I feel so productive when I do stuff like this. And this oil change is way overdue, unfortunately.

The other thing that's making me feel productive is that I finally called our homeowners' insurance company and added my engagement ring to the policy, which means that I can cancel our old renters' insurance policy and get a bit of a refund, which will be nice. Plus, the new policy guarantees that if I lose my ring, they will cut me a check for the appraised retail value and let me use that to choose my own replacement ring. This is a huge step up from the old policy where all they guaranteed was that they would get you a similar ring for the cheapest possible price. AND the new policy is cheaper than the old one. I heart Geico. Even though I don't like their new ads with the pile of money nearly as much as some of their older campaigns.

Anyway, in case you can't tell, I am feeling cheerful and useful, and those are both good things. Perhaps today I'll tackle the master bedroom! It's the last frontier when it comes to not-yet-unpacked boxes. And I can organize the closets as I unpack. I'm such a homemaker! Right?
