I’ve been getting caught up with online stuff. I uploaded some photos to flickr and such. It’s been a nice sunny day today. Tomorrow I need to go to the post office to see about my filter. I wants it! We have the front room and kitchen partially unpacked. Woo! I had so much to say, but as soon as I started typing my mind went blank. Boo. Kai has today off. We’re going to try to get the baby’s room together so she can start hopefully sleeping in there.

I found this cute blue/white/brown polka dot shelf liner at Target the other day. So I’ve been lining the kitchen drawers with it since they were totally unlined and icky. I’m gonna tackle the cabinets soon. I can’t wait til things settle down so we can go to the zoo and the coast. I miss the water and the sand and everything! I wish the water on this coast was as nice as it was in Florida.

Speaking of the coast have you seen Wilmington real estate? It’s preeettty!

I’ve been horrible at blogging. Life has been so busy that I just haven’t had the time. I shall catch up soon! In the meantime here are photos from our Independence Day barbecue and fireworks! You can see them all here.

Teresa is giving away two 8oz soy candles by Jess, over at her personal blog. She can ship anywhere, so everyone is encouraged to participate.

So we had the final walk through for the apartment yesterday. We’re all done! Woo. Now we just have to get unpacked… I have to call the trash company and set up garbage for here. I keep forgetting. I also need to get new checks, and look up some places for Thermal labels. We need to get a home phone as well… We have a phone number, but no phone! Oops.

It was 100 degrees here this weekend. Ugh. It wouldn’t have been so bad if it was gradual. But it was overnight. I started my period also a few days ago. So getting the last bit of stuff from the apartment and then cleaning was a joy. We’re trying to find someone to put our window air conditioners in. It’s too hot for Fumiko.

I have pictures to resize/upload and I have to take Kai to work soon, then go to the bank and deal with the business account. People need to stop abusing our account. Seriously.

So we’re like 95% moved in! We just have some random things to go through at the apartment and then we’re done! Yay! We slept at the house last night, it was nice. I just got done baking chicken, yep at 1am. We’ve had some pretty long days the past couple of days. Now we just have to get unpacked and put everything away. Fumiko is still doing great. The state health department called us this morning. The hospital sent her cultures over to them and they started testing them. She’s been diagnosed with Salmonella poisoning. They’re still testing it to see exactly what strain it is and whether or not it’s the strain that’s been going around with the whole tomato fiasco. But she’s doing fine now and back to her old self. We’ve been completely paranoid with her since she got sick. We’ll probably be paranoid for awhile until her immune system gets built back up.

Kai and I have an appointment later today at 3:30pm to meet with Miss Sonia and Sascha’s new first grade teacher. Hopefully that goes well. I’m so tired, Kai is so tired. We’re exhausted!

My mom is setting up herself a little office on the lower level of the house. She wants to start up a small practice here. She was looking at some digital signage things earlier. I had to keep reminding her this is a residential area, and she probably couldn’t have signs all over. Not to mention that I’d rather not have signs on our house.

Anyways, I have to go get Kai some chicken and then take a shower and head to bed.
