Wha?! Where did the weekend go?

The weekend went by fast... much too fast. I do not feel I had a chance to really enjoy my time home.

My mom and father-in-law came up on Saturday and helped us do some cleaning and fix-up work around the house. Mom cleaned all the walls, doors, etc. in the upstairs bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallway. I finished cleaning the outside of the windows on the north (back) side of the house. My father-in-law painted the trim around our garage door (which I primed before) and then he did some touch-up painting on the posts on our front porch and some trim on the front door.
It was a busy day.
In addition, I spent Saturday and part of Sunday working on our (first?) for-sale sign. I took an old sign left at our house by the builder four years ago (they never came to pick it up), stripped all the paint off, and repainted it. I think it looks really good for being done entirely by hand.
As far as the house-selling goes, it sounds like Christine wants to do an open-house on Labor Day. We'll run some classified ads before then. If we don't get any results, we should probably consider signing up to put the house in the forsalebyowner.com magazine.
If that doesn't work, then we'll stoop to a realtor. :-)

Oh yes, the job. I think I'm going to like it there. The first couple days were the best first couple days I've ever had at a job. Usually, those first couple days are nerve wracking as hell and full of doubts. I feel good about this job and still think it will be a good challenge for me.
I took some pictures on Friday of things around About. Nothing too sensitive, of course.

So far, I've just been settling in with new employee paperwork and some training material. I'm guessing the training will continue on through this next week and then I'll start to get my hands dirty.
