Pictures to come tomorrow. Maybe.

Long and short of our tale is that we're moving. Again. It was mutually decided that for the benefit of the parental and childrenal relationship we should move out. And so we are. To a gorgeous little duplex one mile from the university. It's swamp cooler which I really did not want to deal with again but everything with refrigerated air was pretty much out of our price range. And this place has tile floors, high ceilings, and shade. So hopefully it won't be too bad.

I kept most of our stuff from the apartment. I think I had the sense that the sojourn at Damm's parents' place wouldn't last long. So a few small things and a buying of all things belonging in my pantry and we're set. And I keep on saying this, but hopefully this time THIS WILL BE THE LAST MOVE. At least until we're done with school. It's possible. We were very impressed with the rental company that owns the duplex and the duplex itself is in top condition, though it is an older model.

I can't remember the last time I was this excited. Perhaps when Damm came home from training. I love duplexes-it feels like a house. I'm also hopeful that we can steer clear of apartments for the duration of our lives. A bit dramatic but seriously, I dislike apartments.

As the title says, perhaps pictures tomorrow if the cable company is able to switch over our internet promptly.

Congrats on the new place! Moving isn't so fun but it sounds like this will work out for the best.

Gratz :)

The wife and I continued to live with the in-laws for a couple of years after we were married and while doing so might be economical (& convenient with respect to baby sitting), marital bliss is increased when you have your own space.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...
