Making it a "Home Sweet Home"

the first thing I "cooked" in the house--hot tea in the morning :)

December 5, 2010

Sunday dawned bright and COLD. *brrr* Evidently the bottom floor, where our bedroom is, does not heat as well as the top floor. Geez, who decided heat should rise? That's just silly.

After lots of furniture assemblage and unpacking, we had our first meal at our kitchen table (KFC) and bid farewell to the Pharr's. Then we headed out to the other Pharr's to pick up the rest of our belongings...and then onto the grocery store.

We settled on the Walmart down the street from us. It was an exhausting shopping trip: I'm telling you moving is the best workout ever because all you do is pack and move boxes and walk up and down stairs and run to the store for things you need and never eat because there isn't time or you don't think of it.

Zach did procure a pineapple, which symbolizes hospitality and blesses one's home. :)
[I picked out a good one! It's tasty. :]

Friday Contained?

This is how my morning started: spilling laundry detergent all over our bamboo basket for which we have YET to write a "thank you" card (sorry Joe & Beth). Not only did it spill all over our pretty hamper, but it also covered the clothes I was about to wash--bad idea when you have to share a machine with 300 people and you have no idea if the bubbles are going to be overflowing--got on the quilt and sheets, and dribbled on the floor...
...and this is how my night ended: SAVE YOUR CHICKEN BREASTS! We stayed in this evening to watch Serendipity and used a KFC [keep from cooking] coupon to get a pink Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cure bucket of chicken. While I find it sweet, it also cracked. me. up!
