Since IDK is playing Lego: Harry Potter

[bloodsong1]

Well, the Official List Update, anyway.

I will need to purchase:

For My room,
Paint (have two samples to test)
Paint supplies (two brushes purchased, need rollers, drop cloth and tray)
New sheets (Amazon has some lovely ones for wicked cheap, I actually have an Amazon wish list now)
New comforter set (BB&B, not cheap)
Canopy (Overstock.com, fairly cheap)
Curtains for two windows (Measured. Have what I want on Amazon wish list, they're about 2' wider then I need, but I don't care)
Curtain rods for two windows (two possibilities Amazon wish list)
Small Table for Wolf & Cat (possibility on Amazon wish list)
Twig wreaths for windows


For IDK's room,
Twin mattress if full won't fit up spiral staircase, must check with Manly Men to see if it will. Would save me $100.
Paint

For Cuteness' room,
Twin mattress, as the full won't fit her bed set.

For Ritual Room,
Round rug (possibilities on Amazon wish list)
Floor pillows (still looking, might need to make)
Some kind of platform for Sheshanaga's cage that will fit in closet.

I will need to do:

Purge IDK's books, clothes and toys to manageable levels
Move his stuff up to attic
Move desk chair back up to attic
Block off the big honking gap between the wall and the staircase that is great for cats to jump down but unsafe for humans.
Replace glass window in opening to unfinished section of attic.
Paint attic
Purge my books
Paint my new room
Move my stuff up to my new room
Move big leather chair into new Ritual room
Move bookcase into new Ritual room
Move any extraneous chairs into new Ritual room
Convert new Ritual room closet to Sheshanaga habitat

Lots of progress today. IDK and I will try to wrestle his full mattress tomorrow after a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast. After that, it's troop all of my bedroom stuff up to the my new closet and wait for Manly Men and/or Helpful Relatives to get the ottoman OUT. Only then can I start taping and washing the marker off the wall in preparation to paint.

In other, semi-related news, I've confirmed a working theory. Namely, my interest in fiber arts (crochet, cross stitch, spinning) is inversely proportional to my interest in what's on the television and desire to work on the computer. Which explains why I got such projects done more easily when Wolf was in complete control of the remote and IDK was on the computer.

Three people may be better. And the mattress may fold the long way.

I intend to fold it the long way. I've had no less then two no-shows/no-calls from various relatives. IDK and I will have to try ourselves.

I have the same issue with my knitting. If there is something interesting I get nothing done...when my husband is buried in sports I get a shit ton done.
