Dh and I went looking at lofts for DD yesterday. In the end, though, I think neither of us is ready to not be able to easily get into and out ofher bed for reading and snuggling, so we are going to postpone that idea. Her dresser has two drawers that are a pain to open and shut (it's an antique) so we may move that into our guest room and get her one from the unfinished wood place in town.
I moved three rubbermaid bins of clothes and blankets out of her room and managed to empty one of them completely through better storage and creating a giveaway/eBay pile.
DH took off all of the tile that surrounded the tub in the guest bathroom. Before we can put up new wall board and re-tile, we need to have some plumbing work done. We're going to get new tub fixtures as well. Kind of a pain, but it will look nice when all is said and done, and it shouldn't cost too much, given we'll do the bulk of the work ourselves.
My dad said he would try to get one set of kitchen cupboard doors finished for us and bring them when they come to visit in a couple of weeks. I hope he can get to them. It will be nice to get that project moving forward.
Our friends treated us to dinner Friday night, which was a pleasant surprise. We went to a hole in the wall Mexican place last night - $13 for the three of us, including drinks - before heading to Cost Plus to look at window treatment. I love Cost Plus - so much cool stuff.
The credit card cycle ends tomorrow, so Tuesday I'll import the data into Quicken and see how we're doing meeting our budget after about four months of data.
