Time Flies

That’s the amount of time that it took for my computer to load this web page today, versus the 12 minutes that it took up until yesterday using my cell phone as a modem. On Thursday, our cable/internet/telephone was installed and I didn’t realize how much nicer life was with lightning fast internet service. Well, maybe I did at one point in time, but I had forgotten since I’ve been using my phone to access everything in the virtual world for several weeks. Technology is on my good side now.
Pinky has had a great time this past week getting to know the neighbor kids and also hanging out with some of our other friends. She’s also quite happy to report that we are within walking distance of Starbucks the toy store.
This week, we’ve finished a lot of our unpacking which has been wonderful, although tiring. Just having things in their places and being organized can really do a lot for a person’s sanity. Especially if that person is me! At least we have a place to stash everything and it looks presentable. My Dad would be so proud of my super labeling skills which made their debut in the pantry. He blessed me with this organizational bug. If only I could have gotten his preparedness gene. You never know when you will need a bungee cord or a AAA battery during a move or in general!
I think the kitchen was the worst part. I really truly didn’t realize how much stuff we had in our kitchen until we had to box it all up and move it half way across the country. Part of me wonders why we couldn’t have existed without the orange peeler and the slap chop, but that part of me was gently silenced throughout this process. It’s just good to have supplies to make our own food, instead of ordering take out like it is our job.
Pink Pancakes… Yum.
