CAUTION: Cheesy lane ahead!
Over this past weekend, Jeff and I have been to several furniture stores trying to find a sofa we like. At the last store, I was way too exhausted. So, I said to Jeff, “Honey, let’s just go through this store quickly. If you see something you like, sit on it and see how you like it. If you don’t like it, move on fast.” I sat on a sofa that I thought I might like. Immediately Jeff sat on me and was all, “I found something I like.” And continued to sit on me.
Ha ha. I’m not a sofa.
So says Heraclitus!
Hello, Internet! How I missed you! I am going through major life changes. You could also say I’m still adjusting to the East Coast life, as well. It’s like someone pushed Alt-Ctrl-Delete on my humanware and reformatted my life. Surprisingly, I haven’t crashed yet. I’m trudging along just fine! However, if someone would throw more memory my way, that would be great. Those brain cells seem to be disappearing. Age?
Check out my new toys:
I think figuring out the new washing machine and dryer is going to be harder than moving itself! How to use these “high efficiency” machines is just way in over my head. I feel like an old lady trying to figure out new technology! Gotta find the manual online before I shrink every piece of clothing!
Word of advice for those who are moving cross country: Don’t sell everything. Don’t give away everything. Take it with you and put it in storage. It’s like reformatting your humanware without any extra copies of the software you love.
A big shout out to Danny, Adam, Beth, and Hilary for helping with the move! Extra shoutout to Danny who broke mega sweat helping Jeff with the heavy items!
Last night, I noticed a funky smell in my room, but dismissed it. No, I wasn’t farting. This morning, I realized the odor was still lingering in the air, which I dismissed again. A bit later, I went to a part of my room where I keep papers to retrieve some information to take to my appointment. As I was gathering the papers together, I noticed that the mouse trap that I had planted after the first rodent sighting was in a different position! I was all, WTF, that’s not right. Then, I noticed a long “string” coming out of the trap. There was a FREAKING MOUSE IN IT!!!! I panicked and got on my iPhone (yes, I joined the iPhone cult!) to start emailing people about what to do with it! No way was I going to touch the darn thing! I ran downstairs to get the front desk to get maintenance up in the apartment to dispose the mouse. Yes, I’m a sissy, who cares? Anyway, at least a little, stubborn bugger has been caught, finally!
