Ahem, ahem. Is this thing on?

I’m ba-ack…

Sorry for the unexpectedly long absence, y’all. And THANKS to my beloved name twin, Kristen, for taking care of business while I was gone.

So here’s what happened:

1. Our internet and cable were turned off early.
2. Our vaccuum broke.
3. Our closing was pushed back and almost didn’t happen.
4. We were briefly homeless, with everything we owned trapped in a moving truck and nowhere to take it.
5. We finally closed but had no one to help us get the furniture off the truck, so my mother- and sister-in-law came and brought another woman and the four of us girls and Jesse did it all.
6. Our internet was connected WAY late (because all of our installations had to be rescheduled after the closing got moved) and is painfully slow compared with our speedy cable connection before. (Woohoo, boonies!)
7. We had no washer and dryer for two weeks, and then when they did come the morons from Best Buy, where their customer service SUCKS didn’t send the right power cord and they won’t let their people carry spares, so I had a washer and a dryer but no power cord, which, as you can imagine, was not helpful.
8. Random boxes of important office things were misplaced and I couldn’t get to all of my, you know, important office stuff, which meant hours of searching and emergency trips to the office supply store.
9. Neither of us has really slept in a week and a half because you can hear the highway from our bedroom (but nowhere else in the house), but we’re so exhausted at this point that we’re pretty much sleeping despite the noise, but fitfully at best.

So the good news is that I’m back, I’m online, I’ve found most of my important things (though there are still a few pesky renegade boxes, I think), and we’re starting to get settled in. I’ll be catching up on my e-mail over the next few days and making up for lost time here, so keep your eyes peeled!

It’s good to be back. :]
