1. I admit, bullet-point blogging is lazy blogging. But hey, I’ve got a lot of ground to cover and it is what it is. And thank you guys for commenting! I only got one spam comment after the two real ones so the ratio was pretty good.

2. We are officially living in our new home! 90% of our furniture has arrived and the cat is officially freaked the eff out. This afternoon I came home and found her wrapped up so tight inside the blanket on our bed I actually have no clue how she got herself in there. Cat hatez here. But we like it. It’s bizarre having this much space (went from 500sqft the last three years to 1200+sqft), we have more storage than we know what to do with. Is it weird that one of the things I’m most excited about is having my very own laundry room? I haven’t had one in unit for ten years now. I’ve done three loads with gusto. I’m sure the novelty will wear off soon.

3. So far I am not loving the stairs. The arthritis in my knees has been flaring up and I feel (and look) like an old lady as I walk up and down the stairs one painful step at a time. I think I’m going to have to start making Paul go get whatever I happen to have left up or downstairs until things get back under control in this department. Another thing I hate is our parking spot in the garage, it’s right against the wall and I just can’t do it. It took me two years to learn to park in our relatively straight forward spot at our old apartment so it’s a good thing we own this place because it may take me five to figure this one out. I’m a crappy parker, what can I say? I’m also not crazy about the fact that the grocery store is now three blocks away from us instead of just one. My life is hard, I know.

4. Damn the Celtics! You couldn’t just go ahead and win this one??? I don’t want to watch another game, I just want anyone other than the Lakers to hurry up and be crowned the champions damnit.

5. Speaking of LA…I thought my chances of getting that sort-of-dream-job in LA were slim to none after my phone interview, and I still think they are slim, but it looks like I’m not totally out of the running yet. I admit, part of me was relieved that I was pretty sure they didn’t think I was qualified what with, oh, I don’t know, the purchase of our first home in SF, but part of me was kind of crushed because, well, it is a really amazing opportunity and I sort of felt like if I wasn’t even remotely qualified for it and was rejected out of hand it would pretty much mean I’d never be qualified to do what I want to do. Which, let’s face it, is still sort of true. My job is great and all but as it stands it’s not giving me the exposure I need to the areas I need.

6. My husband is awesome. He has pretty much put this apartment together himself, everything from moving the heavy stuff around to cleaning every nook and cranny. And he cooks. And no you can’t have him, he’s mine. He does have really expensive taste and pretty much bankrupted us buying furniture, but you can’t win them all.

7. I don’t really have anything else to say right now, but I like the number 7. Which reminds me, our three year anniversary is coming up! We are not celebrating because we have a house now which means we are POOR!
