"You complete me."
Me: "I thought you were supposed to say those things to me."
Mike: "I thought so, too. But really, it's the internet that completes me."
Hmm. We had our internet connection in place last night after Three Whole Days without it. How ever did we make it?!
So, we're going on Day 4 in the new house and so far only a few hiccups (fridge door handle snapped off... but, hey! insta-childproofing!) and now we're just ironing out the never-ending details. Like - get some darn curtains up in the bedrooms to save us from the lovely sunlight at 5:30am. And, get that fencepost fixed. And, figure out a better way to ventilate the upstairs, even out the temperature of the main level, and utilize the frigidity of the basement - we must have a span of 50 degrees between our three floors!
In between the have-to's, we're also enjoying the fun parts of having a house. Last night we were out watering the front and back yards after a very warm day. And we discovered that - hey! - we've got a lot of yard. Lots of potential there.
I've done laundry whenever I darn well please and today our sheets are swaying in the breeze on a makeshift line of yellow rope between the back deck and one of our trees. Sayonara to the trek down 3 flights of stairs into the basement only to discover that... a) I forgot quarters, or b) someone else had gotten to the machines first.
Yesterday, Christopher took a nap outside in his stroller (felt very Danish) while I sat under a tree and flipped through a few books I'd just picked up at the local branch library... very Pleasantville. :)
This weekend we'll get out there and get dirty in the yard. In fact, I've already gardened. All of you who know me well can stop laughing - I really did! I tied back the green foliage of the daffodil and tulip bulbs in our sideyard. Although, now that I'm reading up online, perhaps I shouldn't have done that... hmmm. So much to learn!
