If I thought that the interval between my last 2 blog entries was long, then this one was even worse. Exactly 2 weeks after my last one. A lot of things have certainly happened since then. I apologize for the lack of entries, especially during the 2 weeks that we’ve gone from being renters to owners. The reason for it all was the stupidity of our telephone company and my ignorance to their rates.

Here’s a recap of what’s happened:

– June 28, We finally bought our house. The closing procedures were actually less painful than I thought it would be. Some people say that it can drag on for hours, but ours was about 30 minutes at the most. There was a lot less paperwork than I thought there would be.

– June 29-July 4, The hellish nightmare of last-minute packing. I don’t know what we were thinking when we decided to start packing at the last minute. I guess we were just enamored with buying new appliances and other new things and forgot all along that we needed to move all our old stuff as well. We spent the July 4th holiday trying to figure which stuff goes in what box. We were eventually successful though.

– July 5, Our actual move-in date. I just have to say that there are few feelings that are as satisfying as sleeping in your very own house. Thanks to the guys at George Moving, our move was actually very painless and professional (unlike our packing).

– July 6-present, The agony of never-ending unpacking. The house is still a mess, but we’re slowly getting it all together. We have a bottle of champagne in our fridge that we’re going to open once this whole unpacking thing’s over and done with.

PS – This afternoon, we just bought our very first lawnmower! I must be so domesticated now to be excited over a garden tool, but I think the darn thing’s really cool.
