subtitle: moving sucks!

I mean, don’t get me wrong and all, getting the house loan sealed up and moving into a house that is actually not 95° is totally awesome.  It’s the getting-there part that really sucks.  And in almost satiric progression, I got sick the week of the move, K got sick the week after, and two nights ago FF started coughing his head off.  It is a really bad bug, referred to in our house as “the evil duck soup”.  Don’t ask me why, we’re just weird like that.

Some highlights over the last 10 days (pictures to follow tomorrow or whenever I get enough brain power):

• After a few delays, we got our beautiful, most awesome, perfect refrigerator and washer/dryer set.  I never knew I could be so excited over appliances!  Another HUGE THANKS to Aunt D for making the magic happen!  I get a little thrill every single time I look at those sexy stainless steel french doors!
• A big HUGE giant enormous, karma-points-forever THANK YOU to Gmom, Uncle Bubba, and K2′s big bro for taking over the not-so-fun task of finishing up the post-mover move and facilitating clean up of the old place.  Could not have done it without you guys.  Now if we can just find the bottom of the living room, and the garage.  Maybe in 2010.
• It’s that most magical, inspirational time of year…no not the holidays, but the first couple weeks of the semester…dear god, work is making me into a Z-O-M-B-I-E (brainzzzzzzzz…..) Also, only 5 more days until my courses start again too.  (sob)
• We only have 2 chairs to go with the dining room table, and no nightstands for our bedroom.  Technically K also needs a new dresser.  Urg.
• And lastly but not leastly, we have increased our family with the addition of one small, furry crittur.  FF has been promising me that once we got into our house, I could have a cat, since our last cat totally abandoned us and went to live with UB, the furry traitor.  A friend at work was looking for a home for a beautiful, friendly, calm kitten so we went ahead and adopted her.  She came home with us today and she is so adorable, and doing so great with K.  They played with each other for about 5 hours straight until the kitten was literally staggering around from exhaustion!  K is partial to the name “Cookie”, but the jury is still out.  Before we ever saw her, FF was already rooting for “Bouillabaisse”, or “Foie Gras” but yeah, maybe not.
