Finally!

We finally got our cable internet installed and working today! We are WIRED.

We are settling into our new house. It is very fresh and nice. It is BIG. It didn't seem so big when we looked at the model home, but now I really don't know what to do with all the space. Mopping the kitchen floor, for example, is a standard chore that needs to be done on occasion, but it's different when one's kitchen is the size of a European principality. If one happens to leave one's reading book in the bedroom, it's no big deal, except that going to fetch it involves a trek upstairs and down the hall that many a Himalayan sherpa would find daunting. *sigh*
The house is well-lit, though, so that is nice. There are all these rooms, wanting to be decorated. I am researching with books and magazines, and looking at paint samples, but the task is overwhelming. Some people (like, say, Jeff) might think the challenge of decorating a nice house and yard is highly desirable, but I just think it's tiresome. A very nice person gave us a gift certificate at a nursery, for the purpose of buying a tree for the front yard, and it stressed me out to have to go and try to choose one. I don't know or care much about yard trees (unless they involve guavas). Obviously, my Hw-1 (Housewife) gene is recessive.

We watched Empire Records and The Great Muppet Caper tonight.

On the books for tomorrow:
Church
Laundry
Put away and organize clothing
Clean downstairs
Pack for next week
School work
