Update #2 9/25 Today (thursday)

Ok so now that Wednesday is all caught up we can move to today, boy today was longer then yesterday!

I was woken by a little old lady (my grandma) who was trying to deflate her bed so she could turn the tv on and make coffee at 6:45 am. So after helping her I got up and ready and since we had found the coffee pot she made coffee today, I had orange juice and then we started unpacking the boxes.

Mom and Grandma went to the store to get a few things, stopped and got me some Mcdonalds and then we finished unpacking boxes all day.

We only have about 10 more to go then we will be done, it will then be the rearranging things that will take up our time. But its not that bad now. Seemed a lot worse when we started!

Grandma and I did a garbage dump run and then went to Publix to get something for dinner, Porkchops ..mmmmm and some veggies and scallop potatoes. I have missed the home cooked meals!

Tomorrow will be shopping and then I am heading to EPCOT for half a day's touring and a PP meet.

Getting closer to being done but still a bit to go!

Until my next update my friends!

That had me a little confused at first. Who is this little old lady who is waking you up? I thought maybe you had some noisy neighbors or something. I assume you meant your Grandma.

What an exciting trip to Wal-Mart! Hopefully they won't all be that way. Glad to hear you all are making such progress with the unpacking. We have some boxes in the garage that we still haven't unpacked since our move here 5 years ago! I think that's a sign that we could get rid of that stuff by now, you think? I hope you have fun tomorrow!

Glad the unpacking's done, Amy. That Wal-Mart sounds a lot busier than the one I work at.

She is here until Sunday....I love her I really do but her deafness is grating on us right now and I think we need some seperation. I will miss her terribly but we are used to the once every couple of weeks routine not the 10 days straight routine her though!

Dyan she will be happy to help but her idea of helping may not be your idea of helping!

Congrats on the unpacking - it's the best way to go. I remember a great piece of advice when we moved in here from a friend - "unpack everything within a week" - if there's something you don't unpack, you'll never need it and it was so true.

Certainly sounds like an eventful visit to Wal-Mart...

Yay that you're there and almost all unpacked! I'm impressed! Now, I want to see pictures, please. And I'm also interested in job details. Do you have a job already or do you need to do a job search? Remember, I'm reading this as more of a "how to" than a TR! More, more more!!!
