Yes! 'Crisitunity!'

Hello out there in Blogland! I'm glad you have returned. Above you will see the wonder that was my living room earlier this morning. Actually my living room now looks quite livable. That is if you where to ignore the fact that you can see the dining area and that is still a bit of a mess. But speaking of the dinning area, I now have my table again. It looks really nice and its all set up and mostly covered with boxes of Stella's dishes. My dishes are in boxes in other parts of the house. Soon they will find a home in the cabinet and they can be referred to as our dishes. And while we are discussing the table, I did in fact have dinner at my dinner table. Which reminds me.... Do you know the one thing worse then going to the chow hall, seeing they had corn dogs for brunch and grabbing a couple, only to make it to your seat, take a bite and find it was not a corn dog, but a sausage wrapped in waffle (known as a jiffy). Well, what is worse is having a box of corn dogs, making corn dogs for dinner, only to find the last corn dog of dinner is in fact a jiffy!

So I have a few more pictures of the apartment with boxes all over, however the blog program is being fussy and not letting me upload any more pictures. So if you see more pictures in post then I got the thing to agree with me. I did manage to get all of my books on shelves. This leads me to know that I need more shelves. First off I have 2 that I don't really like, cause, well, they suck. Only one has books on it now. The other is holding board games and other such non book objects. And I have a bookshelf by my desk holding my technical library. Those are the only books that got sorted out. Eventually I will need to devise a system by which to organize the books here. Though there will be a need for more bookshelves when Stella gets here. So many books.

Hooray! The pictures are working again. Here is the laundry area. You can tell by the fact that that is the washer sitting right there. Impressive eh? Yeah, sure it is until you have to block yourself in behind the washer to get the hoses attached. And you have to change out plugs on the dryer so you can plug it in. But there is only a foot or so between the dryer hole and the wall hole. This should aid in the effectiveness of the dryer. This is a good thing. But yes, the washer and dryer are hooked up, they fit. All is good. I'm doing grand in the world, I am out of college and in my own place, I have a kitchen table, a washer, a dryer. Its the good life you know.

Now here is my office, or extra bedroom or whatever it is. It might have more boxes in it now. Or maybe they just got moved around. But it houses many boxes and various stuff. My backpacking pack is currently hanging in the closet. I think part of that closet is becoming a linen closet. I think it might be good to have one of them. Then I have to look through my closet. Most likely I will go through stuff again and drop stuff off at Goodwill. I am looking at stuff as I'm unpacking and thinking that I may be getting rid of some things. Like the 64. I mean, I like it, its fun. I just don't know that I'll actually play it or have room to really just have it sitting around. I am keeping the original Nintendo. That one is cool. Plus I have a drawer in the one bookcase that is next to the TV stand. So it has a home. And if you are curious the PS3 stays on one of the shelves in the TV stand and the direct TV thing is on the other self.

And here we have my room. Note the mattress on the floor back by the window. Yeah, so they decided to not bring the side rails of my bed. I have the ends, but not the sides. So I can't put it together, I can't actually sleep on my bed. But I can sleep on my mattress, which I suppose is a step closer. And it looks like I'll be getting a frame, and then probably a box spring and setting that up. So I will soon have a bed. And that will be nice. Plus I need to finish unpacking, but that will be a job for this weekend. As I get 4 days off and all. So life is good.

And in case you are wondering, I did get the web set up today. It was good. The movers came at 8, by 930 they were done all my stuffs was off the truck and they headed out. Started unpacking and then got a call from the internet people. I had an afternoon appointment, but they were running early and so they asked if they could stop by earlier. They came by and were done by 1030. I unpacked, had lunch, unpacked more and then got a call from the Direct TV guy. He was running early and so he came by and got that set up. So everything ran rather smooth today. This I am rather happy about.

Well, this weekend is Thanksgiving and such. I will be having Thanksgiving dinner with some of my Test Group buddies. I was invited to several other dinners and such, but I think that I'd enjoy this one most. Also it would seem that I have become part of the 746 Lt family. We have dinners out and for advent we will all be getting together on Sundays to have dinner. That way we can make sure no one is stuck home during the holidays. Because we have our family out here in the desert. As we are isolated from the real world and such.

I feel that this is enough of a post for now. I hope that you are all informed. Ta Ta....
