Paisley is home!!!

November 18th, 2009

Thanks to everyone who helped look and spread the word – she was a few miles away at someone’s house, just like Eden said. The woman found one of my mom’s flyers in her mailbox on her way to work and called immediatly. Whew. Crisis averted.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled chaos. I spent part of the morning in a frenzy in the kitchen to keep myself busy, and the rest of the morning in a frenzy in the kitchen in a “my dog is alive and well!!!” euphoria. I excavated the fridge and every single cabinet. I think Mikey must have taken out ten bags of garbage, and I have three bags of groceries to take over to Andrea. I threw away a packet of mexican rice seasoning that was KROGER brand (making it at least three and a half years old). I even scrubbed the storage baskets that held our rags and cleaning supplies – OCD much?

I feel like I have gotten a lot done, but why does our apartment still look like this?


Mostly empty closets.


No couch!


Hazel eating her lunch of cheese, crackers, and grape tomatoes – pretty much the only food in our kitchen at this point except for beer, doritos, cereal, and frozen blueberries – in her booster seat on the floor at the base of book-box-mountain (she can’t get close enough to book-box-mountain to pull it down on her head, don’t worry).


Goodbye dressers, hello total disorder.

I did think of something I will miss about living in this apartment building: the water pressure in the shower is awesome. I have peered into every corner of my brain and that is all I can come up with that I will miss about this apartment, except maybe sometimes the view. I especially like the view when it snows really hard and I can’t see five feet out my window and it’s like there’s no city out there at all.

I feel like this day should be over. It’s not even 2:00 yet.

    yeah, the water pressure isn’t great here. but my parents installed a new shower head a few months ago in the downstairs bathroom that improved it 500%, which i’m sure you guys will appreciate :)
