the suri has landed...

[lagilman]

The movers have come and gone into the cold gray rain, and I am surrounded by My Stuff. Most of the packing boxes have already been unpacked and broken down, and the packing materials shoved into garbage bags, and I am in the process of arranging each room Just So*. Yes, I am a Virgo, why do you even bother to ask?

(okay, none of the artwork is unpacked, and the office is still a disaster. I'm not a strong enough woman to tackle the books, yet. But the lounge is all set up and is comfy and appealing, and I wish I could invite all of you over for tea.)

The felines, having been Traumatized by the entire experience, are sniffing around, checking out the new arangements, and (in Boomer's case) periodically looking at me to ask where his buddy Bou's gone to. That said, Pandora and Boomer were almost friendly to each other last night, as I woke up to find them curled this.close together at my feet. It may never happen again, but I have hopes.


So, I am curled on loveseat, laptop set to unsecured internet (I get my hookup on Tuesday, along with the television), listening to the rain fall outside (pause: is that...snow? No. I refuse to accept it; therefore it is Rain), contemplating the remains of the donuts, and wondering if I should try to do some work, or make the bed and take a nap...

Sunday. There's always Sunday to get work done. Right?

Welcome to your new home.

thanks.

Welcome!
May you have every blessing in the Pink House.

Look for actual paper mail, containing good wishes. Some things need to be done on paper.

Don't work until Monday. You are building a nest. Let that happen.

Joy, sex, wine, tea, and solace. Joy.

Have you heard about your offspring's first reaction to seeing the Pink House? I believe it vocalized sommat as "Yeeeack!"

I just took leftover doughnuts to downstairs neighbors, who are grad students and therefore must love doughnuts. That's a rule I just made up, but apparently it's true. Doughnuts and hot tea, on a rainy Saturday. Yum.

and Pandora is doing chin-ups in order to open the drawer of the buffet so she can take a nap amongst the tablecloths. I. Think. Not...

There was a time when he appreciated the glories of the color pink. How sad that he seems to have lost that. He is, however, the only man I know who uses the word "lovely" in conversation completely without irony and with affection.

Happy new home.

(There's always Sunday to get work done, yes.)

Grad students by their very definition love donuts. In fact, many anthroplogists declare from careful observation that they are unable to exist off anything else!

Well, donuts and KD, that is. :-D

Hope the new place turns out nice. Was there any particular reason for the move? Larger windows, or an increased sniffing area for the cats?

Sounds as if youre getting the snow us more north faced yesterday. Big fluffy chunks of impossibly-existing white stuff. Ugh. Of course, winter hasn't yet melted from my parents lawn, so I guess I really shouldn't be complaining ;-)

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Congrats on your new home! And may I say I am very impressed with all this unpacking. You could come down and -- but no, that's not practical...

Glad you survived the move! Those things are always a pain.

[nick-kaufmann.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear the move went well! Enjoy the new digs!

Glad to hear you've arrived safe and sound. FWIW, we still have some boxes more or less intact after our August 2004 move... but they're mostly out in the barn and in that unfortunate out of sight, out of mind zone...

Unpacked already - I'm major league impressed. Also annoyed. You're making the rest of us look bad.

Welcome, welcome. I hope the house feels like home very soon.
