mainly photo updates this time. last time i updated (march) i lined up a bunch of photos to post, but it was waaayyyy too much for our plugged-in-wired-wireless lite-speed-high-speed internet. so here are many that you will hopefully be able to see.

here is the pink plaid lino that was under the living room carpet...turns out it was under the floor in every room on the main floor. hmmm...and this picture is just of me because a) i was pulling up the living room carpet ENTIRELY by myself (yes, yes, it was b/c i was mad at ian, not b/c he refused to help me!) and b) i had just got my hair cut. so pulling up the carpet was fun, and not too difficult. the hardest part by far was that we did not move any furniture out of the room, so i was wiggling full bookshelves (x4) a couch, the stereo (still plugged in, x4 pieces) and coffee tables out from under the carpet onto the lovely pink lino but i could not really lift them BY MYSELF over top of the ridges and humps i was making as i pulledback the carpets. too bad this picture only shows my hair and not my newly formed bicepts!
