i ought to be getting paid for these hours
If I were on the clock, I'd be putting in a 70-hour week! I have been waking up to the sun and sound of singing birds (did I mention I live in the country and it is QUIET? I love it...) and getting right to work each morning, busily unpacking boxes (only 5 more to go, and I'm not doing them until next week) and setting up my home. It's part necessity and part obsession. I can't feel "moved in" until this is all done. So, I'm doing it.
And I'm working HARD, people! Man. 12-14 hour days!! But, my living room is about 95% done, my kitchen is completely done (except for the valance that needs to be hung), my bedroom is completely done, and both bathrooms are nicely decorated and organized. Aaahhhhhhhh...
So, what did I do to celebrate? I went grocery shopping! AND I was HANDSOMELY rewarded for all this hard work. I found the soy ice cream I LOVE more than anything (Soy Dream's Mint Chocolate Chip, in case you were wondering) at the local Kroger! Ha! I didn't even have to search out some whole foods store or anything. Kroger, baby! Thank the Lord for life's little miracles and rewards.
And then today I signed up at Gold's Gym (which is only 2 miles away and had an AWESOME offer - no initial joining fee and only $39 a month!) because now that I know the local Kroger has my ice cream, I will need to go to the gym. Everyday. Mm hm. I loves me my ice cream, yo!
I'm smiling, by the way, in utter amusement and happiness. Big smiles.
