We were at Target today- new dishes, silverware, hand towels, rugs- oh JOY! At the checkout I whispered to hubby, 'Hey, aren't these things stuff people are supposed to give us for wedding gifts?" He smiled- we feel like newlyweds in our beautiful little apartment! I'll write more tomorrow now that... Sign in to see full entry.

I told hubby- "don't come home without a wireless router!"
Today our cable modem died... and the wireless router has been DOA since our move. Yipes! No internet access for more than twenty minutes- THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! My brain went into overdrive. I knew who to call- yep, Jeff, our friendly cable guy-- he was here the other night to install everything and... Sign in to see full entry.

The Dragon is home!
I drove the Dragon home today- to her new home- we raced along Highway 5, up to Orange County amidst a beautiful sunset over the ocean. It was a great ride- we flew home and I was proud to introduce my bike to her new garage. (Earlier in the day, I finally got up enough energy to go look in the... Sign in to see full entry.
Unpacking
Wouldn't you know it that we can't find our underwear boxes?! I'm making progress with all these boxes but whew... Mister Cat is having fun now. I think he really likes our new place! Sign in to see full entry.

We LOVE our new place!!!
The dreaded moving day is over and it was a 'doozie'! A hot, dry, Santa Ana day, the movers were sweating buckets. I felt so sorry for them hauling everything up three flights of stairs!! (They all got huge 100-dollar tips though- they only get paid ten dollars an hour by their employer for that... Sign in to see full entry.

Send a pizza with that light bulb, will ya?!
Today we went and signed the papers for our new luxury apartment and they said to us- "Hey we're a full service company, if you need to replace a light bulb, call us, we'll come and do that!" We looked at each other, laughing inwardly, - Wow, a light bulb?!! This is going to be like a permanent... Sign in to see full entry.

Had to find a good home for this one...
My hubby has had a wooden kitchen drop-leaf table that he has sat at almost every day since he was a little kid. The table comes with high-back chairs with caned seats. It was time to sell it and I wanted to make sure the table would go to a good home. The lady came to pick it up today. Thankfully,... Sign in to see full entry.

A guaranteed cure for cabin fever!
Today I realized that I've been stuck in this house, organizing and packing, since Wednesday and I was nuts to get out of here. The Dragon whispered to me from the garage, "Hey, Nanaroo, let's go for a ride!" "I'm on it!" I answered, and got my motorcycle boots on. Then, we were off! The wind in my...

What is the best way to move a cat?
I haven't had to do a move with a cat in a long time and am trying to figure out what will work best for our Mister Cat. I think it may be best to bring him to our new place before the movers show up here. He's going to have about an hour ride in the car to get there and if we did it that way, there...

The teacher who replaced me already quit!
Today I talked with the teacher who replaced me and this was his last day. It sounded like the kids were bouncing off the walls and he couldn't handle it. He said they were crawling around the floor and everything-- I can just see them. I could tell that he didn't want to take the time to get to... Sign in to see full entry.
