Ok...I'm ready for...lemme think....Wednesday of next week! I think that's when life will finally slow down! I called about getting utilities turned on in our name. What a pain...I've got to GO TO the water company to get it turned on...I have nothing better to do with my lunch than drive to Bryant! I called about gas, and they can't turn it on till Tuesday...I'm thinking we won't need the gas fireplace, heat, or stove top till later anyway, so no big deal...only problem is if the hot water heater is gas. Here's hoping it's not! I'll check tomorrow when Sears delivers our new fridge! How silly am I - I'm excited about our new fridge. Anyway...back to utilities...called the electric company and with what's going on in South Louisiana, they can guarantee it'll be on the 29th that's THREE WEEKS AWAY...we didn't send that many people down there. The lady told me that was excessive, to keep people from complaining if it takes longer than usual, but that if there were no LA problem it'd be on by Friday. She put in a note that we were moving this weekend, and needed it on Friday, so hopefully that'll be on. But never fear...the GARBAGE WILL be picked up on Monday morning! LOL...I found that to be extremely funny! No guarantee on utilities except trash. Actually the water people said they would have it on the next day after I come in, so if I go in today, it'll be on tomorrow.
Packing is coming along nicely...granted I think our stuff is multiplying like bunnies! I didn't think we had that much stuff, but sheesh, when ya try to box it all up, ya realize how much you really do have! I worked on the kitchen last night...and 4 boxes later, and I still have all my pots & pans, and most of my pyrex to box up....sheesh! I also got my bathroom done last night. The games have been packed...and my sweet wonderful husband is almost finished boxing up the books. We have agreed though that if we can get all the furniture moved this weekend (with help), and the stuff we've finished boxing, we'll be happy, we can finish the little things later (we have paid for the apartment till the end of the month!). We rented a 26 ft truck to put all our stuff in since it was the same price as the 22 ft. Should make it where we can do it all in one trip, considering the 22 ft was for 4-6 rooms!
Work has been kinda busy, but that's expected it's been "close"...the first four business days of the month! Today makes day five, and while it's still technically "close," it doesn't affect our group much, and doesn't affect me at all! :-) Granted I'm still catching up from being out a week for Vegas, and here and there for the house stuff.
This past weekend was fun...I almost forgot to talk about that! We went to Louisiana for the day on Saturday...to visit my college pastor and his family, and to visit my favorite red head and her family. First stop was lots of fun...the 2 girls were VERY excited to see us...he was cooking, and she was baking a cake...He fixed fried kabobs...they were very yummy! and the cake was still warm when we got to that part...YUMM! (yellow cake with chocolate icing). Got to do lots of talking and catching up...and lots of talking of politics...and lots of talking of what's going on in south Louisiana...basically...lots of talking! One of the churches in the small community he lives in has taken in some evacuees, and all the churches are chipping in to provide meals, so the one church that's housing them doesn't wear out. His church fixed breakfast for them Saturday, and was frying fish for dinner Saturday. When he left, we headed to our 2nd stop...and I got to love on a precious newborn baby girl (well 2 1/2 week old at that point). She's beautiful! And during her naps I got to visit with her parents, and love on her older brother, who was in a VERY good mood! We ordered Ray's Peegee....YUM! I haven't had that in forever...I don't think my sweet wonderful husband likes it too much, but he has his flaws too! LOL! We'll get to see them again in just a few weeks, since they'll be coming to Little Rock for a doctor's appointment for the 3 yr old boy.
Ok - someone's needing something for me, so I suppose I should actually do what they need, and get back to work...
Ta-ta for now!
