[crossed fingers] not the 19th not the 19th not the 19th not the 19th… [/crossed fingers]
(Though if I remember correctly, you have plans for the 19th already … a birthday party or something?)
If you’re still in Philly at present, I can get some fan decks to you for paint color selection. Email me quickly or cell in AM if interested-as I’m going east in the morning.
Not the 19th, Misnomer. I’m looking at the following week, the 26th.
danceswithcats, I’m already well gone from Philly. Sorry.
The good news is, I’ve located my stuff!
The bad news is, it’s in Virginia Beach, and I’m not. Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. Accordingly, the housewarming is definitely pushed back three weeks.
Meanwhile, I’ve been playing with paint colors, and suffering from decision overload. Maybe I should’ve just posted into IMHO, and taken whatever color the Dopers selected.
Ben, I am almost finished painting my new place. So I’ll share with you my colors

Search for:
June Day (bedroom)
Shagreen (office)
Midnight (“media room”)
Cardboard (living room/dining room)
I must say, they all look FABULOUS. I am so excited about my living room, I could pee
You should use that Sherwin Williams tool. It’s pretty bitchin’.
My furniture was delivered in good order yesterday. Today’s task is to unpack the kitchen, so that tonight I can have dinner in my very own place.
Last night I unpacked the bathroom. I got out the shower curtain and the curtain rings, went to hang them on the rod… and found that there was no shower rod. I’m heading out to BB&B (yet again) for a tension rod.
Hey Ben, do you need help with anything?
Thanks for the offer, Ginger, but at the moment the only thing I need help with is electrical work. The phone jack in the room where I’ve set up my computer turned out to be a data jack, and I need to have an electrician install a phone jack there. (Hence my delay in updating this thread.)
The good news is, I have a job interview tomorrow! A friend of my parents forwarded my resume to his CIO, who would like to meet with me tomorrow afternoon. So I’m spending this afternoon researching the company.
That’s good news for you! I wish you luck. We’re off for a week (Beach! Sun!), but maybe you can get up here for dinner in the next couple of weeks.
I’m back online!
The phone jacks have been properly wired – the line was on a loop, and the loop had been disconnected.
I’ve sent out Evites to my housewarming. Anybody else who posts into this thread or emails me, I’ll put you on the list also.
Have you finalized the new party date? I see you mention the 26th but can’t tell if that’s firm now.
Yeah, you’re online – but do you have any furniture?
Anita, I have finalized the party date as November 26, 7:30 pm.
twickster, my furniture did arrive, and I’m mostly unpacked. Thanks for asking.
