Last night’s State of the Union address left me feeling a bit patriotic, so I checked out the White House web site this morning. Wow. Vast improvement over the old White House web site. This site actually had …. information on it. I was even impressed with the kids site. Very cool.
The move this past weekend was successful. The weather, once again, was on our side: 50 degrees and sunny in January. Everything went out without a hitch, we were out of the old, into the new and even cleaned the old in just six hours. It’s a good feeling to be out of that bust of an apartment we were living in in Burnsville, which pretty much turned out to be the ghetto. (Or should I just call it “ghetto,” as in “Our apartment was ghetto?” Paula introduced me to the phrase yesterday when we were comparing grocery stores. “Our Cub Foods is ghetto.” Ghetto as an adjective. Who woulda thunk?) We still have a crapload of unpacking to do, but at least we’re sleeping, eating and finding things to wear each day (thank god). And, the HOM Furniture folks just called too … turns out our new furniture may be arriving this Saturday.
My life feels unstable. With the move and everything else going on lately, it feels like the only comforting and normal place anymore is work. Yeah, that’s pretty sad when I look forward to coming to work for the normalcy, because it sure as hell isn’t normal around here lately. The construction continues and we’ve gone without a kitchen for nearly two weeks (I shouldn’t complain, considering the nice space I’m working in — but still, I’m getting grossed out washing my lunch dishes in the bathroom). Hopefully the project will be done soon and we’ll be moved into new offices by the end of February.
So, that’s that. A summary of the past week or so …. more posts later.
