daddytoddI already posted most of my May reading when I posted my after-vacation list. Since getting back, I've only finished 1 book:
05/22/2011 Thendara House by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Currently about halfway through City of Sorcery, and still listening to The Firebrand in the car.
Work has been really busy, and we went to Dt George the weekend of the 21-22 for an event in Kayenta.
Last weekend I got started on an extensive home improvement project. I moved all the living room furniture out to the patio (it won't be coming back into the house, it's all really old and hammered anyway.) Then I moved my bedroom out to the living room and pulled up the carpet to get to the original 1964 hardwood floors which run throughout the upstairs. The floor's in beautiful condition -- really amazing. So we're going to repaint the walls, spruce up the floors (a bit of sanding and then a couple coats of polyurethane) and I want to find someone to do a modular closet for me. I'm liking this process!
When we finish that, we're going to go through the same process with Ron's room. Then the living room. Finally, probably next year, we'll have the kitchen re-done. Not sure how extensive that will be, but I have a year to think about it.
That is all.

I still reread "Heritage of Hastur" every now and then to get my gay on!
