House in Progress: Furniture Arrival

Our new furniture finally arrived on Wednesday afternoon, so we finally had something to sit on besides captain's chairs or our dining room chairs.  It also allowed us to finally start arranging the living room and office.  It's still a work in progress, but our house is starting to feel like a home.

For the time being at least we're not allowing Bailey on the sofa or love seat.  Since one of her favorite activities is looking out the window, she's having to find new, creative ways to do so.  I wish I had had my other camera close at hand to capture a video because she was wagging like crazy and practically dancing around when I took this shot.

I was also very excited about the arrival of my -- okay, our -- new desk.  Although I've had a writing desk (pictured above in the corner) for over a year now, my office desks have always been cheap, particle board affairs until now. 

My goals for the day are to finish the living room and dining room set up -- we still have odds and ends to put away and pictures to hang -- and to get the office unpacked.  I need to get a little reading and writing in as well.  I should also take my bike into the repair shop because, when I went to ride my bike to campus yesterday morning, I discovered that the brake on my back wheel was not functioning. 

What's on your agenda for this Friday?  Any fun plans for the weekend?
