I'm (almost) so excited!

Have you ever had one of those stomach-turning feelings that something is so close, you can taste it? Well, I have those all the time.  Most of the time, they contribute to my anxiety issues because they turn into disappointments.  Anyway, I digress.

Today is supposed to be the last day of "patching and stuff."  My dad tells me that painting is the next step, but I'm a little hesitant to pop open the champagne early.  As we've seen time and time again, this old apartment works in wonderful ways to surprise us. Anyway, I have this lovely feeling that we're almost at the end, but not quite yet.  I'm all sorts of anxious.

Before you get all excited and stuff, I don't think we're going to finish until that last weeks of May at the earliest.  Hopefully in time for my sister's birthday.  Mustache dinner party anyone? Dinner options?

Oh, I also bought a gift certificate for $20 worth of cupcakes at Cups and Cakes.  Is it weird I want to try this?
