So much has happened in the last two weeks, I don’t even know where to begin

Posted on May 19, 2009May 21, 2009 By admin 2 Comments on So much has happened in the last two weeks, I don’t even know where to begin

So, a quick bullet point recap:

  • we bought a house
  • we painted it top to bottom
  • we re-wired large chunks of it
  • we installed a shower that still doesn’t work
  • we moved
  • In a stunning display of cleverness, I managed to lock the shed keys in the shed, requiring a visit from our friendly neighbourhood locksmith
  • we re-painted the whole upstairs floor of our old house
  • I went to Scotland for a business trip
  • we are all completely exhausted and I think I gave myself a bad case of carpal in the process

Notable events during this time:

  • the mouse, that damned mouse, stowed away and is now living somewhere behind our cupboards. Our cats are useless.
  • said cats are driving us nuts by destroying the house and running rampant all night
  • the boy is on solids and is discovering the joys of carrots and sweet potato
  • I managed to go to Scotland and not eat a single deep-fried, battered food item
  • the Scottish tried to kill me many times with food, but I have to give mad props to a Spanish tapas bar that catered with much success to my multiple allergies.
  • we bought a new bed and a new mattress. This is a source of joy, and debt.
  • we should have internet access at home shortly

More on all these when I can spare the time. In the meantime, know that I am still alive and tired as sin.

    What !?!?! You’ve been to Scotland and DID NOT try their (in)famous battered, deep-fried Mars Bar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-fried_Mars_Bar) ???

    Actually, it’s a very touristy thing to eat, but honestly, the thing just scares me.

Power to the beaver!
