Settling in...

Saturday at 10am I signed the paperwork and moved a few boxes into my new place...in Selma. It rained most of the day, so we decided to push back the rest of the moving-in until Sunday...which turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day. Everything was unloaded and my family was on their way home by about 2pm, leaving me the rest of the day to start unpacking and do a little bit of grocery shopping.

The details on the apartment are: 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, washer/dryer hookups, fireplace (woodburning!), attached garage, superclean complex, big backyard...and last night it was pretty quiet...so all looks to be good, so far!

I'm set on bedroom furniture, both bedrooms are furnished for the most part, but I've decided to NOT use my parents "hand-me-down" furniture for the living room (with the exception of the coffee table), and instead see about finding a cute little couch/loveseat set for myself. I feel like I need to start new...maybe some of you can relate.

In the meantime I'm sitting on big floor pillows (which I love and would use forever if I never planned on having guests over), and a really beautiful wooden rocking chair that my cousins in Chicago sent to me for college graduation. I also need a dining table and chairs...and a tv stand...and silverware...and dishes...and linens. Wow, now that I think about it, I need to buy a lot more than just furniture! Eh...all that money...maybe I'll just eat with my fingers, sleep on bare mattresses, and continue to enjoy the floor pillows until I have some spare change. :-)

Moving

Well, the Fresno v Selma choice has been made and I'll be moving soon. :-) Yay!

Will give you details, the new address, and all that other fun information as soon as I have it...enjoy your week!

HAPPY Pi DAY!!

Try slicing 8 Marie Calendars pies into 120 pieces for your anxiously awaiting students...I don't know how I did it, but somehow the food didn't run out.

Kind of reminds me of the story in John 6 of the feeding of the multitudes...

Only, I'm not Jesus...and I imagine (since I don't like fish...) that this pie tastes a whole lot better...

...especially the cherry. hehe.

home snow issues

First, I have to decide on a home this weekend. :-) Fresno v Selma, though the choice (in my head) is quite obvious. Prayers would be helpful--I want to make sure my heart doesn't get in the way. Course, I have a heart for a reason...so maybe it's interference should be considered...

Second, it's supposed to snow today. Yeah, in Fresno. Crazy, eh?! But so fun! Woo-hoo!!

Third, I think I have issues. This is the fourth time I've rearranged my classroom in the last two weeks. I can't decide what I like and what I don't like. You'd think that by MARCH I'd have figured out a few arrangements that are beneficial to my students...but ah, that's not the case.

Oh fourth, speaking of work, I'm getting fired today. Well, pink-slipped anyway. :-) Which will only lead to more decisions...!

Ah! Fifth!! I forgot...I just want to say thank you to the federal government for giving me a refund on my taxes. Especially right before spring break. Boy, that was awfully nice of them.

Okay...that's it. :-) Have a great weekend!
