Well, we're all moved in and got most of the upstairs finished. We've kind of been doing a little bit at a time with occasional surges of activity. For instance, Suzanne went nuts on the kitchen the first couple of days after our stuff showed up. Then, over the weekend, I went all out on the bedrooms. The living room just kind of came together by itself - I think somebody may have broken in and arranged things for us while we were at work.
This weekend we're looking at getting the little things finished upstairs and possibly starting the basement. It's pretty daunting down there, but we'll get it sorted sooner or later.
The problem is that we put everything we didn't want to deal with in the basement and the garage. I've already got my work-out gear setup and even found a decent-ish spot for the ping-pong table, so there's really no motivation (from my perspective) to get it sorted out.
However, I know that sooner or later, I'll get sick of seeing it like that and I'll drag my lazy ass down there ad get it sorted. Maybe today...
The boys and I went to see 300 the other night. It finally came to the Sidney theater (yes, THE Sidney theater). It was pretty good, but not as good as I thought it'd be. I was really surprised at how lovey-dovey it was. I was hoping there would be a lot more violence. Also, they threw in a bunch of nudity that just seemed kinda pointless. Don't get me wrong, I like nudity as much as the next guy (I asked him and he agreed), but it just seemed kind of jammed in without any good reason.
Even so, it was a pretty good flick. The fighting scenes were outstanding - it was a lot like God of War II (which I just finished the other night also). God of War had a kind of strange ending which makes me think that there will probably be a God of War III!
Oh, and my finger is completely healed! If you weren't really looking closely , you'd never know it was ever injured. There's a slight dent in the crease, but that's about it. Let me see if I can slap a quick picture or two in here:
I'm kind of like Wolverine...
Stay tuned for new pictures of the inside of the house (probably in a week or so).

There are still a few boxes that we haven't unpacked since we moved down here. I guess that means we don't need them. We just shoved them in the attic.
Good to hear that your finger is healing nicely. Read about my wisdom tooth experience at http://friscofred.blogspot.com.

Let's see those newly decorated house pictures!

Ant,
It's been a month since you last posted on your blog. Hopefully we're not going to have to live with reruns this summer.
Now that you've got some perspective on living in a smaller town and with a new job, how's the job, family, and social life?
To quote a line from 'Shawshank Redemption', 'Either get busy living or get busy dying.' Hope you're living life on the bike!
Take care, little guy!
WG
