Why is it that when you have a vacation, the week after is total crap? I mean, I didn’t have a totally crappy week (except for the damn soda explosion), but it wasn’t very satisfying personally. Monday after work I slept, because I was dead tired and needed a nap. Boyfriend and I couldn’t get our groove on as far as food goes, so we didn’t eat all that well. And Friday, of all nights, I was dead by 9pm. Nine! I was snoring on the sofa way to early for a Friday night.

The weekend was better. Saturday I finally got some stuff unpacked. Remember, I move in with Boyfriend back in May, but I never unpacked most of it because I had a few issues to work through and it was just too freaking hot. Who wants to schlep boxes up the stairs when it’s 115F outside? Not I. So they sat, until yesterday. I brought up some more clothes, all my hangers to hang them on, my file cabinet so I can clean off my desk, my candles (which somehow survived being in the garage in that heat), one box of stuff for my desk, which actually gets stored in a cabinet I have, along with my other bed pillow and my blanket that I like to use when I get a bit chilly. Not a lot of stuff in the grand scheme of things, but it’s a start. For starters, the bedroom closet now looks like I live here. And while I was downstairs I re-organized the rest of the boxes so that like items are together. I have 5 boxes of books, which are easy to unpack once I actually get them up the stairs, and there’s a bunch of kitchen stuff. Boyfriend and I have to go through that, go through his, and pick out the best of the best. Other things, like decor, just aren’t getting unpacked as long as we live in this tiny apartment.

Today, after a long, leisurely brunch with some friends, Boyfriend and I took a quick look at a new housing development. They’re all over town, so it’s easy to find one. We didn’t really like the layouts of the homes we viewed, except one, but that particular builder used some materials we thought were inferior. It did give us a chance to talk about what we wanted in a house, and it was exhilarating to know that for over 95% of it, we are on the same page. So buying a house, while not immediately in the future, is a goal that we both have. This tiny apartment will not suffice forever.

As it is now 11pm and I seem to have lost an hour (more or less) surfing the web and catching up with all your posts, I’ll leave you all for now. I hope to be back sometime this week for more fun in the life of me.
