Back on line

I haven't had computer service since Monday, so my daily blogging had to be put on hold.  But, I'm back now.

What's been going on ... mostly unpacking.  The kitchen is almost put together; just a few more boxes to unpack.  Some stuff needs to be repacked and stored, since this kitchen is smaller.  However, the kitchen is the only room that is anywhere near livable.  The clock folks came Wednesday and uncrated the grandfather clock. The DirecTV guy was here the same day and got the TVs working.  Mark likes his man cave, but he also likes the set up in the family room, so we watch TV down here together, too.  I managed to get some paper work done today, so at least the bills are being paid.  The house may look like a tornado hit it, but we're keeping up with the important stuff (I hope).

Mark took me to the Olympia Weight Watchers center last night.  I met a really nice Leader named Pam who was excited about another Receptionist that will be available to work during the day.  I am looking forward to getting back into the "Meetings mode."  I miss the fun of meeting the folks who come to the meetings.

E.T. got delivered today.  Yea!  I was really happy to see him again, though he still won't start.  So, he's going to be towed to the repair shop on Monday and, hopefully, made well.

I met one of our new neighbors this afternoon.  Her name is Rumi..  Her husband's name is Brad.  They have two kids -- Julie (7) and Sean (4).  Sean is how I met Rumi -- he wanted me to see the snail he found.  The snail actually turned out to be an earth worm.  He's quite cute.  I think I will like having Rumi as a neighbor.  Brad is in the Air Force, but they have been given an extended assignment here until 2013.  They've been here a little over two years already, and since Rumi said they move every three years, she was excited about having an extended stay.  They are trying to get reassigned to Spokane, though.  How weird is that....

The puppies are enjoying a rawhide chew bone, so they are quiet at the moment.  Ty was totally full of himself earlier this evening.  He likes the new back yard because there is enough room for him to get up a full head of steam for running.  Fortunately, the weather has been nice enough since we moved here that he can go out and run and not come back in soaking wet.  Brenna is adapting to her new digs pretty well.  As long as she has food and a couch to sleep on, she's fine.  She doesn't play with Ty too much anymore, but I think that may be because she's older and he's bigger.  They still get along, thank goodness.  Ty worships her, but she's "above all that."

Well, my battery is getting ready to die, so I think I'll call it a night and go to bed.
