As you may have noted, there is a considerable gap in my blogging. While most of the you may have regarded this as Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) from me (SOB), there is actually a reason behind the lapse from November to January. Candy and I made a big commitment in December. We bought a house.
We closed on December 20th and moved in the 2nd week of January. The first week of January, Candy and her parents put down laminate floors. I had to work most of that week, and from what Candy says, it was a good thing I wasn’t around to see her have to deal with her mother. But as she said when I came home from work each day “No one is dead, in jail or even bleeding.” I did help some with the floor, but the credit goes to Candy and her parents, as they did 90% of the work. They put down laminate in every room except the kitchen, utility room and the two bathrooms. When all was finished, it looked great! When someone asks about doing it, we tell them “yes, it does look great! If you want to do it in your house, hire someone to do it!”
We decided that we would hire movers to only move “the big stuff” the couch, beds, bookshelves, etc. So we moved boxes and boxes and carload after carload to the house, and at the end of that, I think that next time (which I hope is many many years away) we will pay some one to move all of our stuff.
Now for my excuse on why I haven’t updated the blog (other than being lazy) since Jan 21… I started a new job Feb 11th. I’m now working at Texas State University in San Marcos. I really like it, the only problem is the 60 mile commute each way.
