Hi everyone! Well I haven't blogged for awhile. I had every intention of doing so during moving week, then again on the 26 hour road trip across the country, and finally in the past couple days we've actually been in California and well.....FINALLY getting around to it. But, since we don't have internet set up at our humble abode (apartment) yet, this blog is coming from the friendly Starbucks lobby in Lake Elsinore. (I wonder when they'll get to the point of wondering why they see us in here everyday and sometimes multiple times a day :)). Buuut I sure do enjoy the nice warm beverage every visit!
Well let's see where to begin the update..we ran into a problem getting into our apartment on Sunday when we arrived in Lake E after driving the 3 days straight to finally get here. Turns out we needed a money order for our first month rent/deposit. Very conveniently we arrived on a Sunday...therefore banks are closed...neither of us can remember our PIN numbers to either debit or credit cards to get the cash we need to get a money order. After so much driving of course we were both thrilled..HA! After unloading most of our packed-to-the-ceiling trunk and back seat we still weren't able to find any of the PIN numbers we needed to complete the transaction that needed to happen in order to get the keys to our new home. After much frustration and lots of hours in a car, we spent the night in a hotel once again.
Finally, yesterday (which seems like a week ago!) we were able to go to the bank and get the money order we needed to move into our new apartment. We barely had time to set our things inside and went back to the car to run business related errands. I think I'm beginning to feel what it means to be "busy" and we haven't even gotten the store yet! Yikes!
Another tidbit before I go (our wireless providers...aka Starbucks) is getting ready to close...
Tonight after spending the whole day (since 8:30am) running errands and setting up our various business accounts we came home to finally eat a meal at home with the little bit of groceries we picked up last night to get us through today. Spaghetti was on the menu...so..I had the noodles boiling before I realized that we have no utensils (they're in the trailer of our things yet to arrive) besides plastic forks and spoons. After debating we figured we could use a plastic fork to stir as long as we took it out before it had time to melt. Problem solved, right? Well it was until we realized that the spaghetti sauce that we bought last night somehow did not make it home with us. Awesome. Oh the adventures! Well...on to another busy couple days ahead! Until I am able to write again...have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Classic! Sounds like a sequel to your honeymoon mad rush for cab cash! I feel your pain. However, one day you'll probably look back at all of this and think it was a blast. It's always more fun years later when the stress of it all is no longer lingering on your mind.
ReplyDeleteI miss you here in Missouri! However, in just a little over a month, I'm hoping to come to your rescue. By that time, you should have more kitchen utensils, but I could certainly try my hand at the rest of the busy stuff! You guys should find a wonderful restaraunt for Thanksgiving that serves turkey...or a turkey sandwhich...or even ham for that matter! Happy Thanksgiving!
