Cardboard... Cardboard... Cardboard...

Closed on the house on Monday last week. Movers showed up 30 minutes late on that following Wednesday and it ended up taking 2 trips in their truck with me helping them pack the 2nd truck to get moved. Still had to run several car loads in my car (yes, I bought my new car Monday night as well!!) Honestly, I think I am more excited about my new car than I am about the house, but I'm sure that will change.

There are boxes everywhere, packed, unpacked, broken down, and otherwise. I have almost tripled my living space and yet I have nowhere to put the things I am unpacking. How crazy is that?

So far there was one room (mine) that had a bad circuit breaker, so no power for 3 days in that room. Phone jack doesn't work in that room either, still waiting on that repair. The front door whistles like a freight train, the dishwasher over-flowed the counter tops the first time I used it (turns out they didn't punch the 'plug' out of the garbage disposal where the dishwashers exit hose connects). Still haven't gotten a key for the cluster mailbox, they said a couple of more days but if I see the carrier to just show him my ID and he will give me my mail. Of course I never see him/her.

But the most annoying thing so far with the house is that I can't get my high speed cable/internet connection until September 4th. I am SO over dial up connections! Especially since we recently upgraded to a T1 connection at work. Makes dial up and even cable look sickeningly slow.

So, in truth, I LOVE my house. Takes time for things to settle in. Still don't feel.... secure? in my house yet. But finally last night I had carnal relations with myself so I guess I am getting used to the place.
