Check the gallery… lots of new pictures to see including our new house, 4th of July, our trip to the beach, Bethany & Shane’s wedding and, of course, new pictures of the cat. Would life really be complete without more pictues of Ratzi??
The kitchen is mostly unpacked, as is the bathroom. I need to get baskets or something for the shelves in the kitchen and bathroom closets. WIRE SHELVES BELONG ONLY IN REFRIGERATORS. Wow I feel better already. The wire shelves in those two closets are making it hard for me to store things. Everything wants to fall over. I also have the “I’m too short” problem. In the pantry, even the first shelf is just a bit too high for me to see everything that’s on it. I’ve discovered that I have NO idea how everything fit in our last kitchen. We have almost four times the cabinet space, yet I’ve already run out of room.
Yesterday, the mattress & box spring for our guest room bed arrived. The bed is slanted downhill but at least it’s there. I need to figure out how to remove the casters on the bed because two are already missing & get new casters so everything is level and mobile. Matt & Dad said all I have to do is pull on them, but apparently I can’t pull hard enough.
Matt emailed late last night after working a 14.5 hour day. He’s definitely earning every penny down there. I can’t wait ’til he gets home… there are lots of little projects with his name on them already. Plus, I miss him.
On today’s agenda is grocery shopping including stops at Sam’s Club, SuperWal-Mart and good ol’ Giant Eagle. I’d put it off ’til tomorrow but Ratzi is almost out of food. After the Great Grocery Adventure, I’m going to have to rearrange the kitchen (see above) and then I’ll continue working on putting things away in the bedrooms. I also need to talk to my cousins to see about hiring some yard help while Matt’s away.
Garbage should go at the very very end of the driveway. Do not block sight of it with a hillside. The garbage man does not stop for garbage he cannot possibly see.
We’re in our house!! Matt’s off on his business trip while Ratzi and I are busy setting up. There are TONS of boxes in our basement. It’s gonna take me a while to sort through everything. Tomorrow, we get a mattress & box spring set for our guestroom. We’re taking reservations, lol, plan your trip to stay at Casa de Buchwald now!!
