1. I got a haircut - and I got bangs! Unfortunately, the guy cut them to go the wrong way (not the way my hair naturally parts), so my bangs will probably have grown out by the time I get my hair trained to go this way.
2. We shipped several boxes of borrowed newborn and maternity clothes back to their owners (thanks to those of you who loaned, and be on the lookout for a box coming your way!).
3. We sold a bunch of books that we purged from our bookshelves. In preparation for the move (and since we got quotes from movers), we are trying to purge as much as we can. We took a HUGE push cart full of books over to a store that buys them. While it was a difficult process deciding which books to give up, we were pleasantly surprised to get almost a hundred dollars for them!
4. That book money will offset the cost of the new couch we bought today (our Christmas present to each other)! It will be delivered to our new apartment in February. And it has a sofa bed for your visiting pleasure...
(This is a picture of our new sofa, but I'm not sure why those black lines are showing up... They aren't there in either the real picture or on the couch itself.)
5. We took yet another huge push cart full of clothes and books to the Salvation Army.
6. Thomas got two new sport coats thanks to birthday and Christmas gifts, Macy's excellent holiday sale and our friend Mike Kass' surprising sense of style and stamina in department stores.
Now, we are enjoying a bottle of sparkling Shiraz to relax and celebrate today's productivity. Who knew that they made red sparkling wine??

1. I noticed this time and, man, is it CUTE!
2. Carter and I had a fun trip to the post office and much thanks for all those great clothes for both E and Cater Cartar (see earlier post).
3. Very hard purge....
4. Well, 'offset' would be a very strong word for what the book money did to the cost of the couch. It is, however, a great couch and we hope people will come sleep on it and enjoy Brooklyn. The per night charge will only be enforced until the couch is paid off....
5. Yup. I was shopping with Mike. I'm sure it was a nice trip.
6. I look good in them and thank God for Mike and his suprising fashion sense (in a good way). I'm sure pictures will surface soon enough (maybe even tomorrow night).
I did not, myself, know about red champaign, but it is quite tasty!
Happy New Year's Eve Eve!
I want to see the bangs!!
I want to see the sports coats!
