now, if only...

so the bookshelves have finally been ordered along with a desk to go in the library.  this creates, at least in my head, the house that jack built...

we can paint the walls.  we can put the bookshelves in front of the painted walls.  we can unpack the boxes of books to put on the bookshelves in front of the painted walls... and so on.

i am very excited about this because it means that i will finally have access to some books i am not sure i have seen in ages.  not to mention the books in the den will be moved out and find a permanent home in... the library.  yes.  i will soon have a library.  now we just have to paint the walls...
