In archaeology news, we have this tidbit:
Today we’re going to talk decorating stuff. I’ve been using a cedar chest as an ottoman/coffee table. But I really need it next to my desk to hold my printer and stereo. So we’d been keeping an eye out for a good ottoman that wasn’t outrageously expensive. My folks found one yesterday and bought it. It was less than half the cost of the others the store had. Probably because it’s burnt orange. *g* It is the ugliest color! But Mom’s pretty handy with her sewing machine, so she’s going to make a slipcover for it out of some white with mint green pinstripes sheets. Of course, I’m still going to need a little table to set my laptop on when I’m using it while sitting on the loveseat. But we’ll worry about that later.
And I’m also getting a new mattress & box springs. The bed I have just isn’t working for me anymore. I hate spending all this money, but I also hate being in pain and not sleeping well. So.
Oh, I just saw a commercial on VH1 Classic that they’ll be doing “80 hours of 80s music” this weekend! And can you believe this weekend is Labor Day?! 
How the heck did that happen???
Not a lot on tonight except a new episode of MythBusters. Everything else is either reruns, politics, or tennis. Ugh. So I’ll hang out with the MB gang and help them determine if the Moon landing was faked. 
I’ll also catch up on recorded shows.
So what did you guys think of last night’s Eureka? It wasn’t quite as funny as the previews had led me to believe which was both bad and good. I thought we could use a little comic relief after last week’s episode. But last night’s was a good episode, anyway.
I actually managed to write some new material on the contemporary fantasy last night! 
Go, me!
Reading: Finished up Stephanie Tyler’s Navy SEAL book. I adore her Navy SEALs. Now I’m reading A Crazy Little Thing Called Death by Nancy Martin.
Burnt orange? Yay for your Mom’s sewing skills! *g*
I read that article on the statue. The HEAD alone is 3 feet tall! WOW!
I hear you on the new bed. Any idea what kind you’re going to get?
Eureka last night was interesting, could have done without the things. *shudder*
YAY for writing! Good going!
I hope you have a good day!

Which of Stephanie’s books was it? I love her stuff!
And yay on the writing!

Get the new bed. A good night’s sleep is worth every last penny. We just bought a new mattress in April. We need to buy a different mattress. I haven’t slept in five months.

You’ll need to put before and after pics of the ottoman on the blog!
Yay on the writing. Keep it up.
