moving!!

after a lovely little text message calling me a blog slacker, i decided to bring back my blog! it's been over a month. sorry. i know you 3 readers out there have been missing me. :)

big news indeed - we've moved! (again) this time we did it right - with money. we hired a moving company to haul our crap out of the old place and into the new! it was quite nice to sit back and order my things to be placed where i wanted them. no back pain, no pulling jessica off the back of the truck accidentally, no blood, no sweat, no tears. at least not for us! well spent cash, for sure.

that was saturday. sunday was less fun. in order to get our deposit back (since we are breaking our lease), we agreed to paint our entire place and steam clean the carpets for the landlord. the sweat and tears came in abundance. sometimes, i think we plan too many things in one day. we patched holes, painted, cleaned, steamed, had to clean again, and ran around in circles trying to complete our work while out-running the homo depot deadline to return the steam cleaner. with one hour to spare, we completed our tasks! now i have to pick up all of our food and the vacuum and a few cleaning supplies, and we will be completely done with our old place! relief. well, once i get the check from the landlord.....

our new place is freakin' awesome but there is no running water in the kitchen right now. dunno why. no one else has this issue. we had running water the day we bought the place. where did it go? allegedly the developer is looking into it, but no word yet and it is just about noon. hmmmm. if that isn't fixed by the time i get home today i am not going to be a happy homeowner.

i can't wait for visitor! i can't wait to host dinner parties! we have rooftop terrace that's covered, so we can use the outdoor space well into the cold weather. i had my coffee up there this morning. ahhhhhhh. love it.

there's my update. a big move, purchasing a condo (details of stress far too many to repeat), oh and jess got a fabulous job that she loves! life is ok. indeed.
