Just whistle while you work!
As promised, we went to the Loft Tour last night. Wow. Some of the people living there have really put some time and effort into their homes. Some of the lofts had 30 ft. ceilings, second stories, cubbyholes accessible by ladders... they were really cool. Very spacious. The neighborhood, however, isn't that great, and that's what kept us from moving there.

We got inspired to clean and fix up our place even more. It's already pretty cute anyway, and I usually keep it clean, but we've been pretty busy lately, and I've been loafing around (enjoying my last few days as a non-worker). So today I'm cleaning. I've already reorganized my closet and have two garbage bags full of clothes I don't need anymore and plastic hangers (I've switched to the more space-conserving metal ones). I'm going to steam and/or iron anything that could be used for work, so that I'm all ready for Monday.

In other news, it's cold here. I actually had to turn on the heat yesterday. I love cold weather, and Dallas gets more of it than Austin. We're using the down comforter now, and it's so snuggly, especially with our new mattress. However, since coming back from Europe, I'm waking up around 6:15am instead of my usual 9:30-10:30. I guess my body is still adjusted a little to Europe time. It's good though, because I have to start waking up early come Monday.

Oh, also for you Dallas folks, if you get a chance, you should go see the downtown Neiman Marcus. They've gone hogwild decorating it for Christmas. It's beautiful.
