Unplugged

via here
We are finally moved.  The last box has been opened (notice, I didn't say unpacked) and our furniture is all generally in the right place.  It is actually quite odd seeing our furniture together and we definitely fill up both of the closets we have.  But even with the amount of stuff we collectively have, we still have plenty of room for activities in the living room and kitchen - like ballroom dancing or P90X.  Our dining room table arrives God knows when but two of the dining chairs I ordered get here tomorrow.  One thing that I never really paid attention to is the amount of books that I have.  We spent part of the weekend looking for a decent sized, decent priced bookcase but couldn't find anything that fit our style.  Do any of you have any recommendations of where to find non-particle board bookcases?

The cable guy comes tomorrow and we'll finally have TV and internet.  It has been deathly silent in the apartment without either, and Frenchie and I ate dinner last night, just talking to each other, without  background noise or distraction.  It was kind of odd and the silence was deafening.  It is a serious testament to how bombarded we are with information, sounds and colours these days and it was a nice break from it all for around 12 hours.  But I want all that stuff back now!  I am currently sitting in the "library" in our apartment complex checking my email and blogging.  Which is to say, I'll have to come back later this afternoon to finish all the blog checking as I have missed out on all the early Monday morning action and hearing about what y'all did over the weekend.  So pardon my unplugged post for now and I'll check in with you a little later.

Meanwhile, happy Monday!

  1. Congrats on finishing your move. They are never fun (especially the no tv or internet part). If you want a non-particle board based bookcase, have you looked at Crate and Barrel or Potter Barn? Maybe CB2?

  2. That's awesome!!! I hope that you love the new place :) You'll unpack in due time. I'm not sure about the book case. I bought a cheap one from Target just to serve a purpose. Good luck :) Post pictures!! I'm dyeing to see how you decorated.

  7. I have to admit, we got most of our furniture from Ikea, so the quality is not amazing. But we now live around the corner from a great thrift store, and I wish we had checked it out for furniture!

  8. Hey Rooth,
    Thanks sooo much for trying the recipe. I wasn't sure if the steps made sense, but am glad you were able to follow them:) You made it the way I like it: with more tomatoes. I hope you guys enjoyed it in your new abode:)

  10. Yay for finishing your move! Moving is so stressful, at least for me ;) Our last move was about two years ago and there are still 2-3 unpacked boxes left. Guess whatever is in them we don't really need...
