Time: 11:11am
Mood: Exhausted
Song of the moment: Take That - Patience
This past month has been absolutely mad - and it's all because of the house! We finally have possession of the house... Jimmy and I are homeowners! Exciting but scary - and extremely expensive! We throw down at least $1K a week just buying stuff for the house. We moved in this weekend, but we have no furniture - just my old bed, the tv and our appliances. We don't have a kitchen table yet :S We bought a couch 2 weeks ago, but it's not coming for another two weeks. We've been sitting on those fold-out lawn chairs for now! haha!
I love the house! But I'm still not completely comfortable here. I think that will take a while. All my stuff is still in boxes and I have no idea where to put my stuff in an organized manner. Yesterday was move-in day, and it was absolutely exhausting. I spent most of my day driving around and buying stuff we need for the house - garbage bins, step ladders, paper blinds, vacuum cleaner (which I absolutely love! I spurged and bought a Dyson vac! I remember my coworker talking about it... when I got to Sears, the sales lady told me it was one of the best vacuums you can get). We've had a few visitors over the past few days and I've been having fun giving house tours :) Flo has already claimed her room! LoL :)
I've been doing so much cleaning. It's so hard keeping a house clean in a dusty area. My area is still a construction site, and we don't have our grass yet. The clean-freak in me has definitely ben on full force - I won't stop until the bottoms of my socks stay white! haha! Thank God for Swiffer!
Anyway... back to cleaning... I'll take some pics once the couches come in :)
