So, we're here. Correction: Wii're here. (Meaning we've moved in and acquired a Wii thanks to G!!)
Everything is still a bit of a disaster. We're having all sorts of trouble with the showers, but I'm hoping it's all sorted out by this afternoon. Just know that you should never take hot showers for granted. While I don't think I ever have, I assure you I won't now. Our new driveway was poured on Tuesday, and we keep admiring it from the window. We aren't supposed to drive on it until next Tuesday. Our storage shed will be started tomorrow, and that will be great as we can get all the garage/storage boxes out of the guest room and out of Feathernester's garage. Once that's done, it will seem a lot more like home. I'm not good at living in messiness. I get panicky, and M can attest to the fact that I've been in a wad for about a week now. My kitchen is pretty well put together, though, and that helps. I've even been able to make dinner a few times...though nothing fancy or interesting.
We've also got to figure out the TV situation...we had these great, huge built-ins in the Lexington house, which means we have nowhere to put our TV in the living room here. Right now, our end tables are pushed together and covered with a red gingham sheet, proudly holding up the behemoth boob tube. Our dilemma in finding a suitable TV-holding solution is that we didn't get a flat-panel TV and now we can't find anything big enough to hold the sucker...or strong enough to support the weight. Plus, we have to keep the components away from the munchkin, who likes to push any and all buttons. We've thought about having built-ins done again, but I'm going to check out a furniture store tomorrow before we make any decisions. Unfortunately, we don't really have forever to make this decision as everything else in the family room is on hold until we get this figured out. I guess I'm doing alright if that's my biggest problem, eh?
Anyway, the girl is waking up, and I'm about to cart her to Columbia to spend a couple of days at my dad's. This will be the second time she's spent the night away from us since we got here. Poor kid thinks we're abandoning her. I just want everything to get put away and be safe for her and Otis, and I can't do that with both of them under my feet all the livelong day.
I'm out, peeps. Happy Thursday...and GO TIGERS...I've picked them to win it all!!

Good luck with everything! Do you have any sturdy trunks you can use in the meantime that you'll never have to open? We have a behemoth ourselves and that's where we put it until we broke down and got a console, nothing fancy. Our driveway is a mess--it's not paved and we have to get gravel because 1) we can't afford a poured one right now, 2) the plows have chewed the hell out of it. I'm envious!
Congrats on your new place--I'm sure you'll get it in livable order before you know it.
I actually picked them in one of my brackets too.....
GOOD LUCK! You'll be settled in before you know it! :)
glad to hear the Wii made it to you okay. remember to leave plenty of living room space for Wii tennis. arrangements should be centered around court space. M will be re-living those college years, trying to maintain the volley. ;-)
