This weekend is all about the planning for the birthday party. It might also be called spring cleaning, or even moving in. I want to have a party at my place in 2 weeks, and next weekend I’ll be off to Albany for family party, so this is the only time I’ll be able to scrap my apartment into any kind of non-embarassing, having people over, having places for people to rest their drinks when the boogie-down occurs condition.

- put up new lamp by couch (requires new, unbroken lamp to be delivered)
- cover couch (requires fabric)
- clean out big closet, including sorting through clothes in boxes and getting rid of things that are too small/old/unfashionable.
so, anywhoo. I might be freakin’ busy this weekend, or, because of the glorious weather, I might be outside and my birthday party might be at a kareoke bar. we’ll see on monday!
I hope you have a good weekend!
