This week

This has been a good week so far. I got about 95% done with my research papers, so most of the work is behind me. Jesse brought me Chipotle (I don't think they have them up north yet, but picture a Subway for burritos, very yummy) for lunch at work on Tuesday, which was definitely the highlight of the work day. It snowed today, so Horton and Abe were very happy to be licking it and eating it up. And, we also got our furniture set up this morning (after trying about 100 different arrangements). Tonight, we had dinner with my Dad and step-mom for my birthday. We went to an Irish place, and I got to try a boxty, so that was my new thing of the day. (I've come to appreciate new experiences a lot in the past year, even if they are small, like a boxty.) Tomorrow Jesse has the day off work (yeah!), which means no alarms going off at 3am on my birthday morning. That in itself is a very wonderful gift. In any case, here are a few photos of what we finally decided on for the living room arrangement.






Hmmm...this one reminds me of something I may have seen before...
