oh, my aching back!

we went to a friend's party friday night and then spent all day yesterday working on our house, and i haven't had time until now to take pictures of the monkey suit (the cool one, not the satin one), and now i can't find the camera. it seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle of finishing reassembling our bedroom yesterday. any ideas, justin?

we have loaded still more crap for goodwill into the car and gotten our friends to carry away an isuzu rodeo full of throw pillows and the giant baskets that big flower arrangements and food gift baskets come in, as well as our old mattress and box springs, but our new couch was delivered yesterday, and we ended up with a very full target shopping cart of things to bring into the house. three steps forward, two steps back. the target purchases, though, were things that will make life better, like bins for sorting socks in our dresser drawers, and frames for joaquin torres garcia prints we bought at his museum in montevideo on our visits there two and three winters ago, which have been collecting dust and taking up valuable closet space.

one way or another, this process has to be done by the end of may, when my mom comes, because then we need to focus on milo's room, but it would be nice to get it done sooner, because i can't take many more weekends of heavy manual labor.
