big wonderful and furniture

This past week was way too busy. My parents got into town on Sunday and I'm taking some vacation this week so last week I basically had to do two weeks of work and prep for the parental visit and I worked the big wonderful with Jessica and Edglas.

could it have been any fucking hotter? no. but, great spot for the tent set up.
Got home from BW kind of late on Saturday, finished cleaning, and then picked my parents up. They were shocked at all the work I've done in my house. Today I took the day off and we went to Salida to Spirit Mountain, where my dad and I bought my cool dining room table. I seriously wasn't going to buy anything today.

first, we had to take a pic of this weird art thing - FH later said "if you ever buy art that has anything to do with children, even alien children, I will worry."
then my parents and I went to the laughing lady - had this amazing curry zucchini soup with yogurt - and I had an omelet with goat cheese, spinach, and tomatoes
my dad got this work desk - even though I can't imagine all his stuff fitting on it - for his second office
I was looking for a cabinet for my kitchen to fill in the space where my versa climber used to be. And I found this...
custom made really cool cabinet - I'll have to take a pic when I get it home - it's custom made with a crackle finish that looks like a mix between copper and leather
and...um...this...
coolest. table. ever. my dad's leg, sitting at his new desk...the wine did not come with either piece of furniture.
Why do I go furniture shopping with my dad. That's like take Imeda Marcos shoe shopping.

But, in my defense, Spirit Mountain was closed today but Ken happened to be in because he's finishing a project so it was like fate wanted me to buy some furniture. And size wise both pieces of furniture fit perfectly where I want to put them. And they were on sale.

Other things that happened while buying furniture...Ken invited me to go with him to burning man and a guy who makes antler chandeliers spilled a beer on my feet (washing my flip flops for the third time because they are still sticky). I'm sure we'll get up to more nonsense before the week is over...
