My fun for this past Friday evening consisted of sitting down with our new landlord and hashing out our lease agreement for the next year. We met his wife and kids, and learned lots of random tidbits about our future neighborhood. We've signed everything and are all set to take possession of the place on September 5th.

The rest of my weekend was verrry mellow. I hung out with the invalid in his apartment for most of Saturday, and spent Sunday poking around my apartment cleaning and organizing. This seems to be a trend. After living in a messy place during the chaos of the last few weeks, I found a lot of satisfaction in restoring order to my little domain!

I also spent some time outside enjoying my patio. My hostas are in full bloom, and they have an awesome jasmine-like scent that gets stronger in the evenings. This is good, because that's the time I tend to be out there! I potted some new ivy cuttings, and ripped out a sweet potato vine that was overtaking one of my planters. I'm currently contemplating ways to make big, inexpensive planters for the patio/deck space at the new house. Feel free to share any ideas/sugestions. Or make me some (Jefe). ;)
