Hello everyone,
Haven't been around for a week because I had to wait for K to hook up the computer. (I know I could have done it but it's his and I'm lazy). The move went well, at least all our stuff is in one place now, and it didn't rain on Monday when we had the movers. My legs and knees are killing me though because I moved from a one story house to a colonial with a finished basement. I'm sure I'll get used to it (and soon I hope
). Now all we have to do is organize, put away, throw away, and put in boxes to sell all of the stuff we moved
. Then I get to start painting, hanging pictures, decorating and all of that kind of stuff. Right now I just want to finish unpacking the kitchen so we can set up the dining room table.
My birthday was Friday (thanks for the well wishes Rabbit and Pyria). And K gave me tickets to see Carmen at the Detroit Opera House. It was fun, I don't think we're about to become big fans, but it was nice for something different, and after packing God knows I didn't need any more stuff
. Didn't make it to WI on Tuesday because I was trying to find the living room so we'd have one space that wasn't filled with boxes. Hopefully I'll be ok tomorrow. Going to join the goal thread then.
Just a few comments on the stuff that was discussed last week:
Kitchen Aid - Couldn't live w/o it. My folks bought one for me when I first moved out and it is GREAT. I've got bunches of attachments which are really cool to.
Hardwood floors vs carpet - Had carpet in all my apartments and at my parents, had hardwood at the last house and had hoped to pull up the carpet here but didn't have time. All I can think is that if the dust and fur is on the hardwood floating around, it must still be on the carpet you just can't see it and so can ignore it and since I have 3 fur bearing animals it can get really gross
. I use a plain old dust mop though I do have a swiffer (great for cieling fans), I just hate throwing away the sheets, it's that enviornmentalist anti-disposible mother of mine voice in my head, I shake all the fur outside for birds and squirls to use in nesting.
Cheesecake - the one sweet I can not pass up. Congratulations on identifying the craving and only eating a little. I have to restrict it to only eating out and NOT to make it at home unless I'm having company who'll eat it all.
There were other things I'm sure, but I can't remember and this is turning into a novel. So I'll go for now and hopefully not be such a stranger.
