I guess, technically, it IS Happy Sofa Day already, but since the sofa won’t actually be here until between 11am and 2pm, I’m saying Happy Sofa Day actually begins in a number of hours. No use getting even MORE excited so early.
I’m seriously THRILLED. Can’t wait!
We moved the other sofa (started to call it the “old” sofa, but I don’t think a sofa purchased just over three years ago counts as “old,” really) over by the floor-to-ceiling window and it is LOVELY there. Really gorgeous. Hm. We may like keeping it there, after all.
Anyway, the area for the new sofa is prepared. Even hung family photos over where the sofa will be. Finally! Getting photos up really helps us feel like we’ve moved in… despite all the stuff still in boxes. We really need a good two weeks with NOTHING else to do and a maid to help us with the deep-clean and a kid to help haul off all of the trash, donations, whatnots. Then we’d be moved in.
That said, we are steadily moving forward. We will, in fact, have that housewarming party… say, early January. Finally.
Oh, spent most of today and yesterday working on the new book. Realized I’m going to have to turn down some casting work here in the next couple of weeks in order to get this ready. Quality problem, of course, but also a bummer. Nah, not a bummer. I love that intense “book work” time. It just takes a shift of my energy, after having been casting for so long. The last time I went into “book-writing sequester” mode was August 2003. That’s a pretty long break, actually.
Hee hee. Archie is snoring.
Short films accepted into Sundance 2005 will be announced on the 6th. I can’t wait to learn whether The Moor made it. *fingers crossed* I’m so excited!
