No lovely pictures yet, but we're getting a lot of work done here this weekend and by Monday, I hope to be back with lots of progress to report as finished!

8. Start shopping 

Other: 

1. Attend local quilt festival? 
2. Attend family reunion
3. Cook something for family reunion
4. Laundry
5. Get some quilting done! 

So, obviously this is a long list of 'to do' -- fortunately, some of it has been done already over the last two days. I'd love to sit here and day dream a few more minutes, but I ought to get out of this chair and back to work - it'll be a lot more fun to be done! 

* Why is there a litter box in the kitchen? Good question. Despite that very expensive clean bill of health we got on Momo last week, things are not all good in the litter box department. Unfortunately, we learned this after he chose the least water-proof area of our new flooring to use instead of the box (leading to that part of the flooring floating more than we'd like and 'thunking' back into place every time it's stepped on. I'm hopeful it'll dry out and be okay... removing enough flooring to try to do anything there would basically require redoing the entire living room. This is why you want to attach your trim all the way around the room instead of assuming it's okay 'floating' in a couple places where attaching it is harder). Since there isn't room in the guest bath for his litter box, the only place left with old laminate flooring is the kitchen, so we've all been adjusting. I don't think anyone likes it, but it's a lot easier to clean. I'm looking for a larger litter box or a top entrance one to see if that helps a little. Overall, I'm not happy, but I'm also not sure it's worth bringing him back to the vet for another round of expensive, learn nothing, kinda tests.
