The Butts

Boyfriend and I just finished the last bookcase. It was the biggest of all the bookcases and covered our bedroom in sawdust. Don't worry, we cleaned it up. We had fun doing it, since it's daytime and no neighbours call to complain about our hammering noises during business hours. We even made sure the door still opens, even with the extras we put on there.

What extras are this, you may ask. Well, we wanted a place to hang our clothes. And the cheapest hooks at IKEA are the ones called BÄSTIS. The ones shaped like dog butts. The ones we bought far too little of. The two we have are blue, and we had more fun than is grown-up putting them on.

"Where do you want the butts?"
"I think our butts should go higher."
"Do I hammer the butts or screw them?"
"I think screwing the butts is best."
"You measure out where the butts should go."
"Our butts should go very high up."
"Oh my God, these butts are tight!"

And so on and so forth. Boyfriend screwed in the butts hard. I don't think our jeans will be falling down any time soon.

He did hurt his elbow while working, so while he took a well-deserved break from work, I vacuumed the bedroom. And seeing as we're mostly done now, we even took some pictures. I'll be sprinkling them all over my last blog posts later, once Boyfriend sends them to my pc.

In the meanwhile, the laundry machine is temperamental. We lost about two hours waiting for it to start working, and we have about four loads of laundry still waiting to be done. I think we'll be drying clothes for two more days at this rate.

And from under the chaos of setting up house, only a few things remain. I still have two boxes of books, a few stuffed animals, those will probably find their home in or on the bookcase. The hallway could do with a few hooks or a hatstand. The bicycle needs a new seat and a luggage rack. There's a pile of pictures waiting to be hung...somewhere. But that's pretty much everything.

So we're taking a short break. I'm considering a sinfully hot shower, boyfriend is checking the couch for videogaming suitability. And after that... Well, we do need groceries.
