Putting the walls up



All day long with the unpacking, sheesh!
& What's more distracting than all the bright & colorful decorating opportunities? Sponge Bob! Curse the person that thought today would be an excellent day to host a marathon of Sponge Bob on Nickelodeon. They know I have to watch! haha.

I went to IKEA finally and took care of the bed situation, and it is so awesome now that the bed is set up. I just got done dressing it with all my great sheets and Pookah has already made herself comfortable on my grandmother's quilt.

Last night Ethan and I went out for a few drinks, and it made for a merry time. We stumbled home, after I had some very delicious beverages. OMG Hazelnut Ale = Amazing.
Mmm.



Now that my things are starting to come out of boxes and be put up on the walls I'm starting to feel more like this is my home, and not just a temporary dwelling. It's so hard to grasp the concept that I LIVE here, and will not have to get up tomorrow morning and go to the Cat Clinic, or something. I just feel like I'm on vacation or something.

Man, I do miss everyone though.
Today when 1 o'clock rolled around, I thought how I'd be with the Black Purls, stichin and bitchin,
like we do every week.

Anyways check out the rest of the so-far decorated parts of the house on z' Flickr account...If you'd like

VooDoo

I uploaded some more photos from the last day Bethee was here, and I took her to VooDoo donut. Which is such a fun place! I love the Grape Ape donut, which basically tastes like grape Kool-Aid. I know, I know, most people think that is disgusting, but mmmm not to me! haha

Also my stuff did in-fact arrive on Tuesday and everything is accounted for except for the mid-beam to my bed frame, which totally sucks anyways, and I can't believe I moved with it. So I had to go to IKEA to buy a new bedframe, but they gave me the wrong size flats (Full instead of a Queen) so now I have to go back to exchange them, except my receipt is somewhere in the region of my room that is now the catch all until I get the rest of the house put away. Bah!

I had a little snag with work when all this stuff got delivered, and I'm also now having a hard time with the canvassing aspect of my new job. I've been applying for other things, mostly pet-related positions, because thats what I know, and love. I had a mini interview with a boarding facility fora Kennel Mgr position, which I have all the qualifications and more for. And it's closer to my house, and pays just as well. So, let's just cross our fingers. haha But I'm sticking it out for now.
The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
