Moving Moving Moving...that's the story of my life right? lol... things are still going well. I hadn't planned to go over there today,but my dad is going to be using his truck in the morning, and with my turning on the gas sittuation mom decided to help me take a load today. the gas company can't give me a straight answer about turning on the gas..all they can say is sometime between 8-4! I am like ok, I don't live there yet, please give me a better time frame? and all they could say was it was their busy time and that they will call 30 min before the arrival. It won't really help me...but that's all i could get ... they kept saying that i could have scheduled from 8-12 or 12-4 and when i tried to get them to change it, they couldn't so whatevr. that's why it was helpful for mom to come this evening. that way when they call she can come get me and take me up there. we are going to try to take some big things tomorrow evening like the dresser/kitchen table/desk/ whatever that … [Read more...]

rolling right along..
Moving is going fairly smoothly so far! I am so glad because generally by this point david & i would be fighting,etc etc. Sunday we took a couple loads of things over there(i am thinking maybe 3 or so) yesterday my mom came and helped me take two loads, and then david & I took another one yesterday evening. We also have sprayed the devil out of the place for bugs! Also, betty (rent lady) had them come in professionaly and re spray today Today I have packed 10 boxes, 2 tubs and about 6 garbage bags! I didn't feel like going over there this evening, because mom is going to come bring the truck and help me move all that tomorrow, but david wanted to go over to clean the cabinets and put up a light he bought...so i sent him with the christmas tree box of cleaning stuff my rolly red ottoman (it opens and is stuffed with many things including 2 cases of my cd's) the 3 light lamp i have (mom is giving us another) a basket of books. I was going to send some bath stuff but … [Read more...]
Too Many Cooks
I have to say that if I wasn't moving I would have wrote a much longer response for this book! I just felt so bad that it is a day late! It really is an awesome well written book and I really enjoyed it! I recently joined The Bloggers Bookclub, and lo and behold the first book in the first newsletter just called out to me! The book is called Too Many Cooks: Kitchen Adventures with 1 mom, 4 kids, and 102 recipes and it is written by Emily Franklin. As soon as I got it I started reading it, and it was captivating from the get-go. One of the most interesting books I have had the pleasure to read in quite some time actually! This book can't really be classified as a cookbook, even though it does have 102 recipes! It is more of a story that revolves around food! Food is a theme throughout the book that makes them remember certain times, places, and events! Food is also what unites them all together as a family! This book was VERY descriptive! The imagery was simply amazing! I … [Read more...]
