living in the dark ages...in 2008

so we have (semi) officially moved back to our 'hood. back in o-town we are....but we are living in the dark ages. no phone, no tv, no internet. it suddenly occurred to me that i don't consider it "living there" without the modern day conveniences we have come to expect. you see, living without one of these amenities is no big deal...but all three?! goodness me, how did/do people manage?! i think i at least need internet. tv, i can live without (at least for awhile) and i have my cell to keep me connected....but without the internet...how does one get by?!

drywall dust has become my nemesis at good ol 489. it is a never-ending battle. i dont think it will ever stop. and if anyone just has a hankering for trim painting...i can satisfy your want ;) another weird thing we are living without is vanity mirrors. have you ever tried brushing your teeth while staring at a blank wall? it almost makes it pointless. i know i know...drama...but seriously its as though it doesn't work without being able to eyeball the rigor of the brush strokes.

well as whiny as i sound it is nice to be back in our space, even if its taking bernice a little getting used to. but i do miss having mumsie rub my puffy feet every night! ;)

ps the random photo is from holly's shower...doesn't it scream "hi i'm holly, and welcome to my cooking show...can i show you around?!" love love it.

No Internet? That's just wrong!

So my cook show is going to have to be a bake show - I wouldn't say I cook unless you mean defrosting in the microwave. Thank goodness for chef Marty!
