It's just that I moved (meaning packing, loading, unloading, unpacking) and then school started. Also, who doesn't have towel racks, nary a one, in a house? So husband has been installing towel racks while I look on approvingly. Also we had a gate built, which involved no actual work on my part, but also some approving-looking, and some fetching of ice water, which really was the least I could do. Also, moving, it turns out, requires that one download all kinds of owner's manuals for things one is now the owner of and has not previously seen before, that is, an air conditioner and a sprinkler system.
While we are on the topic of stupid things the previous owners did (that was the topic, right?), who sets the sprinkler system for half-an-hour per day? Every bloody day? People who like to water their grass, I'm supposing. I read the owner's manual, but it didn't take (because I don't understand why one would need three different watering plans for four stations, see, it's like algebra!!), so I'm going to let Husband field that one, along with installing just one or two more towel racks.
I think, perhaps, there are some boxes I have not yet peered into, because their depths hold those items I have deemed not necessary to my daily survival, yet. But soon the day will come when I actually need a sweater, and then I'll have to go looking for it (the way I was looking for blankets last night at 11 pm).
Did I mention my new house is awesome and has a kitchen that I could twirl in? Well, I could. It also has windows and a cute little table. I already made bread, for god's sake, but mostly that was because I had some blueberries that were just about to go bad.

Congrats on the move! I also do not understand watering systems. And so, my boxwood are dead.
Hey, you blogged! I think the crazy algebraic sprinkling systems are all intelligence-proof--good luck with that. But I cannot wait to see your new house. And I bet you'll be mostly unpacked sometime this year. Starting from when you moved in, I mean.
Guest room???
House is good, I will vouch!
Also. When I moved into G Street, I started messing with the automatic sprinklers. All my grass died. If your grass is green now, I'd just leave it, whatever horrible environmental impact you're making. I miss grass.
Congratulations! Twirl like the wind.
Please vote for my mom on her blog thanks http://www.smilesandtrials.blogspot.com/
Sprinklers are easy :-) We have different timers, 1 for the sprinklers and 1 for the drip system for the desert landscaping. And when in doubt, ask the neighbors--it's a great ice breaker! That's what we did!
