Mi Casa Nuevo January 4, 2009

They say what you do on New Year’s Eve is representative of what you will spend the year doing. I really hope that’s not the case. My New Year’s Eve was spent moving my every world possession … and moving just isn’t fun. With the help of my awesome family, though, we have managed to get our house largely unpacked and are getting settled in with just  a few days. The walls are currently bright white, there are no curtains up, and there’s still some basics in progress (namely, get a refrigerator! I bought a new refrigerator this past week, but Home Depot, God bless it, requires 7 days for delivery. We’re currently depending on Mother Nature to keep the Coke Zero cool out on the back patio!). 

But here are a few photos of the little work in progress:

The living room

My room - still LOTS to do in here!

The backyard. I think it will look prettier in the spring.

So that’s where it stands right now. It’s really nice to be out of the apartment, which had literally half the space as the house. And I’m a stand-in-the-sun-with-my-own-little-patch-of-green kind of person, so having a little space to get outside and work is a going to be a very welcome change. 

Bootzilla, on the other hand, is struggling to adapt to the new house. He’s had crying fits every night, which means I’ve been giving in and letting him into my room each night. *sigh* I will be a pushover as a parent, there’s no doubt, if I can’t even remain strong to the mournful meows of my cat. He gets a little less anxious each day, though, so hopefully he’ll feel at home soon.

Until then, we’ll just keep dosing him up with catnip!
