Pictures

[same_sky]

Okay, so we've lived here for 51 days now and I'm finally getting around to posting a few pictures of the inside of the place. We did a bit of work this weekend and put away a lot of the stuff that was left sitting out, but keep in mind that we're not totally finished.

Click the thumbnail to go to the full gallery--I'm much too lazy for posting every picture here. Oh, and the larger photos do have captions, if you don't want to miss any of the stellar commentary.

It's been extra nice to have three full days off from work, but I do wish I had one more day. I think I'm just angsting because tomorrow is the first day that I won't have an hour lunch. Knowing that I'll have two more three-day weekends this month because of that half hour per day helps, but still. I'll miss coming home to see M at lunchtime, and taking my shoes off for 35 minutes isn't bad, either. Oh well. I'll be okay, I'm sure, and it could be worse. Much, much worse--M was gone 11 hours a day when he worked at the evil evil place, and he hated it there. I'm doing pretty good, especially in comparison.

My parents came down today, rather out of the blue. It was funny timing, considering that we've been up there twice this weekend, but still nice. We didn't do much.. just hung around the house and then went out for dinner. Their company left this morning, and I think Mom wanted to get out of the house for a while. It was a man that Dad used to work with and his wife, plus his son and daughter-in-law and their youngest daughter. The little girl was about five or six, and she had totally fallen in love with my dad. She followed Mr. Greg around everywhere, even when he, say, walked outside to dump a bucket of water. It was soo cute.

Anyway, I guess avoiding bedtime won't help me be less sleepy tomorrow, so might as well head to bed. It's been a pretty nice weekend.. hate to see it go.

Wow, great pix -- thanks for sharing! Now I can picture you in whichever room you happen to blog about :)

And I'm sure you'll adjust to the shorter lunch "hour" easily and really learn to appreciate that extra time off :)

You guys have a really beautiful home! I hope our place looks that nice when we finally get settled somewhere. I think you guys have even more books than we have, which seems like it should be illegal or something.

Looks really nice, good job settling in!!!

Great pics, what a nice place you have :)

and you and Carrie both used the word "angst" in your posts today. Would you stop sharing a brain!?

Out of the blue?! I hope you told them to get lost ;)

Your place looks fantastic!! Really, so lovely (and big!), and your things look great in it. Your matching computer area is SO cute :)

But.... what do you do with all of those knives??!!

Oj, vad mycket utrymme ni har fått! Hör det en trädgård till huset också? Vad skönt att kunna ha datorerna i ett separat rum och ha gott om utrymme för skrivare och scanners osv. För att inte tala om papper och pärmar osv...

The new place looks lovely, very bright and cheeful.

I like your new place. My grandmother had her washer and dryer in the kitchen too :)

Thank you! :) No, I didn't tell my parents to get lost. ;p Would have been funny, though. Briefly. Then I would have regretted it for weeks.

Hardly use those knives, actually. The ones I use are in the drawer--they're silver and sharp as sin. M brought one set with him and we were given the other set as a wedding present. Perhaps we should introduce you to the joys of cooking so you'll know what these strange "knife" things can do... *tease*

Thank you! And happy birthday to you! :)

Thanks. :) I shouldn't complain about the washer/dryer placement but I really don't like having dirty laundry in the kitchen.. hehe.

We're trying, but the surgeon was afraid of irreversible damage if we had the operation..

Thanks. :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you! We had a really hard time taking pictures in here, for some reason, so I'm glad they turned out okay!

Thank you! See, light at the end of the tunnel--I don't envy you and Mike the next couple of months. I'm just glad to be on this side of the move.

We often say the same thing about the books.. it's ridiculous, really. I'm going to get rid of some of them. .. Eventually.

Thank you! We have a little porch thing in the back, but no yard of our own. We did plant some tomatoes and peppers in a large pot back there, though..

Yep, have to have plenty of room for the computers.. we spend more time with them than our TV, and it has a special room! :)

Hey, I cook!! Just when I have people over :) I cook for myself, but just easy stuff, it's not as compelling when it's just for yourself... :)

And I'm with you on that regret :)
