MOnday...

My fountain working...yeah...
This is the sunrise..its so pretty.


This is a prickly pear catcus plant with fruit. I have had the fruit. Yummy..
This is a desert quail. Typically you find the close to the ground and their families. This morning is a different story.
The family arguing has started over my kitchen. Everyone wants to tell me how to decorate my kitchen. Expect they don't have to clean the bloomig thing. i do!!!!! I had to clean it last night .it took over an hour without decorations with decorations it would have taken two hours. I have long cabinets with lots of storage so it has to be clean after every meal and polished every other day to keep the wood from drying out in the summer months. No one is considering that when telling me an art major with a class or two in interior design how to freaking do my house. I have compromised on the rest of the house because I agree with most of the decorations and the fact that there are no major empty walls for decoration this time. Yipee!!!

I wish everyone would leave my kitchen alone. This is the one room I want to do by myself.

Inspiration from an ad

Sneak Peak at my house

This is my most favorite part of my new house. My fountain..yes my fountain..

This caused a fight originally between us when we were considering purchasing the house. I totally loved the this. Its so centering. Currently, it does not work. Either mice or pack rats have decided to use it as their personal private bathroom. So, my father in law plans on cleaning it out and getting it working today.

Moving pictures

Here are some pictures taken while waiting on the movers to load the truck.

Adventures in Furtinure Shopping

After throwing the old matresses on the floor in each of the kids room until we get real "furniture" in there. We have been on a massive hunt for furniture for their room.Ten different stores. Only one had actual real wood furniture that was actual descent and we all liked it. The only thing that is the matter is that the salesman that we are dealing with literarily is smoking something other than cigerettes because the price they are wanting us to pay is ridicilous. PLus, they can't deliver the furniture until August 8th, 2009. YOu should of seen my Dh's face when he heard the expected delivery date. You'da think he was wearing "the mask" from the the mask movie with jim carey.

The only saving grace in one of these stores was free cookies, juice, and popcorn to entertain the kids while we looked. The last bed reminded me of color blocking in scrapbooking.. Whatcha think..

We're moved...

After 8 hours of dealing wiht movers loading, unloading, cable company that can't communicate with either the left or right hand, and trying to get as much use out what furniture we have before buying more to fill hugh gaps in certain rooms.

So, far my inlaws have been okay with not telling me where to put stuff. They weren't please when I said hands off on the kitchen. I wanted something different. Boy, where they annoyed that I won't move my silver where closer to the stove for cooking expect they make special spoons and forks for cooking that you don't have to have the eatting silverware..

Dh and I so far were doing good about not yelling at each other until the end of the day. When we move its like having two drill sergants in the house barking orders. WE did good. I say its because I quit my job, did months of preparation work to be ready for the day. He says its just because we truly appreciate the steal of deal on our house we got.

As I type this I am sitting in my Dh's office for work at our house that has limited online capabilities.

I have one child up at 5:52 am in the morning that needs my attention...so I will try to post pictures later on.

I can't check my main email account still somebody has screwed with it...I'd like to screw with them. plus, someone got onto unsecure pages and now I have security issues with my firewall..

Moving what can I say..its a love/hate relationship.

Day 1 moving..

We're moving yeah..

boo i'm offline for a few days..
