Almost There

We're almost all moved out. The closing was delayed a week. It was a blessing as I still have little odds and ends in my old house. I really love it here in my new house. I am positive I will love it even better when all the boxes are unpacked and all the things are safely and neatly tucked.

I am just about ready for a day in the spa. My hands could certainly use a day of pampering. We're moved in for about a week now, and it's wonderful (other than the unpacked boxes and crates).

Yossi, my almost 3 years old has been asking me to go home. Poor baby. The stairs which I was so worried about is not so bad. They're all navigating through it fine, even Yoash, the baby.

The wonderful thing about my new kitchen is Chana's interest in baking and cooking. Every day she comes up with new recipes from scratch and bakes them. She has mastered the fine art of making French toast. Yesterday for lunch, she tried her hand at Spaghetti Carbonara. It was delicious! I was impressed.

I have some pictures but I managed to misplaced that thingy which will take pictures out of my camera into the computer. So I have pictures, but they're trapped! I guess I could remove the memory stick and get it from there, but it takes time which I have been hoarding to catch up on my reading. Books and blogs both.

Nobody Told Me

that moving even to a house next door is going to be so darn hard when I get all the final say in all the crap stuff inside my house.

By hook or by crook, I will be all out of my old house tomorrow even if I have to throw everything that's in it right now. I keep thinking as I was discarding stuff after stuff after stuff. If these were pennies, I'd literally have thousands.

Note to self: Never hoard anything except maybe children and good memories.

I'll be blogging regularly once I'm all moved in to my new digs.

The unplanned toilet paper clog and the resulting flood really did put a dumper in my nice and tight schedule. Is it always this hard to move because I can't quite remember.

Not Quite a Tag

Limo ride on the way home from DS1's bday party

My floor people showed up today with planks much darker than I would have liked, and missing two bedrooms. The salesperson I talked with the other day thought I wanted all carpet upstairs. I wonder which of the "I am so tired of cleaning carpets, I want it all laminate except the stairway" she didn't get.

Anyway, looks like it's fixed, and looks like they might finish one room today. I decided to do the faux glazing in the master's bedroom myself because my husband loves it, and he usually does not like that much. He's OK with everything and he's OK with what I like, but this one, he really, really loves.

My friend Angelo is finally back from his massive examination exposure and came up with a fun tag I thought I'd do. Look at it and see. Anyone who wants to participate, feel free. It's really fun. :)

These are the instructions: (Start copying here.)

1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion. You need to break up the duplicate content. Someone took the time to add you so the least you can do is give them an extra link back.

2. Copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your blog. If you would like a different keyword for your blog then change it when you do your post and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword.

3. Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the “Originals” list.

4. Add at least 1 new blog that you KNOW is using the DO FOLLOW plugin to the list in the “My Adds” section. (Add no more than 5!) Let the people you’ve added know, so that they can keep the list going!

My Adds:
