Day 19

The day started out ok, rain all day.

I talked to everyone in my family before noon, and I cleaned 2 bathrooms, 2 to go,

I was sitting down eating lunch when I got the call, 

Our box had arrived! It was like Christmas! I had been so looking forward to my sweaters and sweatshirts!

And also we packed some rugs!

This is the rug we chose for beside our bed.

It actually matches perfectly, I love them!

So in the afternoon, I rocked out in the closet and unpacked stuff, until I ran out of hangers.

And even though I weeded out a ton of clothes before we came, while unpacking I realized I have entirely too many plain colored t-shirts, no more of those for me for a while!

Josh and I went out to dinner, and I ordered wings, I completely forgot to order them boneless :( I hate wings with bones in them. Sigh....

Then we went grocery shopping and we saw these.

Raw sugar cane! How cool is that?

Day 18

Overcast, and not that warm, I didn't even shower... A first for me since I have been here. I was feeling a little depressed, probably because this was the second day this week Josh was gone for 15 or so hours, add the weather and my pretty much 2 weeks of only cleaning... 

I was hoping the blues of moving were not setting in.

I watched a lot of pretty little liars and cleaned out the bottom kitchen cupboards on the sink side until I ran out of liner... 

Day 17

Today started out slow, a few loads of laundry, a load of dishes,

But when I went to wash dishes, and let some water out if the sink, the drain overflowed into the cupboard behind it, so gross!!!!

So I cleaned that up, the scrubbed out the cupboards on the side by the stove, and lined them with grippy stuff.

Then finally I had some sewing time.

I basted this Christmas present :) hopefully I have time to quilt it soon.

Day 16

Let's not talk about how unproductive my day was...

I did give my parents a Skype tour of my house, and a load of dishes, and most of the laundry...

Josh had to work late, I ate 3 meals by myself... 

I know you are thinking, um... Didn't you live essentially by your self in an apartment since June?

Yes, yes I did, but I had the option to go and do things, I had a car... Not so much here...

Day 15

Josh and I made dinner in our new crock pot.

Orange Chicken.

Thankfully, Josh was here to clean and cut the chicken into cubes.

Then I breaded them, it felt gross at first, but then I had so much flour on my hands it wasn't like I was touching the chicken anymore!

Then we had to wait 5 hours in the crock pot...

Meanwhile, we went for a run, and when we got back, Josh decided to jump in the pool

And then immediately get out!

It was cold!

The orange chicken wasn't that great, but it was ok. I'm not sure we will make this one again, we have plenty of other recipes to try out.

Day 14

Not a good start to the day, I went to hop in the shower, and the water NEVER got warm, Josh said his was chilly too, so I bailed, and didn't take a shower, Josh checked, and the pilot light on the water heater had went out! No wonder the water was cold!

We also put together and cleaned everything for the sewing room! Now all we need is a cutting table!

I will end up putting my books on these shelves too once they get here... 

These flowers blow around the yard, we don't have a bush with them on it, or a tree, so I don't know where they come from, and they feel like paper, but they are really pretty!

Day 13

How fitting Day 13 is Halloween.

The day started off early, dropping Josh off at work, so I could use the car again, but I wasn't feeling really well, I had a bad headache, so I came home and slept for a bit longer then got ready to go out.

Had some tea with friends then went to give Josh the car, so I would be home for the trick or treaters when they came, I still wasn't feeling well. So I took a 3 hour nap. I woke up feeling much better!

Then as we waited for trick or treaters we made dinner.

We mixed everything together for chicken burritos

And we learned how to seal them, they were good! We will make them again, and we have enough for dinner again too!

Around 8 the trick or treaters started to come, probably about 30 of them... We have left over candy :( now we have to eat it lol!
