Don't you hate it when you have to fill out those random letter things to post a comment on a blog? I just did that and had to try 4 or 5 times. Fail.
So we moved. Monday was "moving into the new apartment," day. I got to work, so I didn't have to haul things up 3 flights of stairs or boss people around. Boo. Our couch didn't fit through the door of our new place, so it is now living at the local Deseret Industries(thrift store). So the seating options in our living room(which is still full of boxes) are a camp chair(that has cup holders!), our massive executive computer desk chair, a piano bench, or the kitchen table chairs. So comfy.
I took a half day off at work yesterday and spent the afternoon unpacking. When I tried putting things away in the kitchen, I realized that the previous owners had not cleaned out the drawers/cupboards. Blech. So I spent a while cleaning them and bought some of that foamy stuff(the name defeats me!) to line the drawers with. I unpacked a ton of boxes and our hallway is now full of flattened boxes...but the living room doesn't look any different. Still full of stuff. It's coming together though. And our bed/dresser/nightstands are all in tact and fitting in our bedroom, so at least we have a place to sleep.
Anyways, I haven't really cooked lately...but I need to jump back on the gluten-free train because I am now 90% positive that's what is causing my eczema. I've learned that eating gf takes planning, and planning a move with 2 weeks notice while working full time doesn't really leave a lot of extra time for meal planning. So once we're unpacked, I'm making a permanent lifestyle change. And I'm actually really excited about it.
I also am really excited about our new place. I love it! The living room is big, there is wood floor, and it just has so much more personality than the other places we have lived(stark white walls/carpets/tile/everything).
