Ok, so it's almost 3 and I'm still awake. It's been a really hard week for me down here, and I could really use some good vibes through the weekend. I'm probably being a bit AW-ish, and I apologize.
So, I've got all my stuff down here, and we just need someone to drive down FI's car so that we have it, which is the good news. The bad news is that I've lost pretty much all of my good kitchen stuff since my Mom's old house (which we had stuff stored in the basement of this summer while it was on the market) was broken into and they took my boxes. I didn't realize it at first because my Mom had told me that she moved everything to the storage unit or my grandmother's house when she had been visiting MS while I was still in UT. So I didn't check the old house until right before we moved, and didn't realize about my kitchen stuff until we unpacked all the boxes here; I had just assumed that it was in a box we had loaded up.
I know I sound like a total child, but this was heirloom kitchen stuff, old cast-iron skillets and rolling pins. Even the stuff that wasn't passed down was stuff like all of my flatware and coffee mugs, my knives, good wine glasses, and some hand thrown bowls my sister had made for me. It's everything I had bought or been given since I was 18 and living on my own. To make matters worse, I kept telling FI not to buy any kitchen stuff because we'd use mine, thinking we'd make my cheaper things work until we could buy nicer things, but now we're going to have to get some of them anyway. The only kitchen utensil we have right now is an oversized plastic whisk, which is funny because it's so sad.
In better news, we may be able to adopt a puppy this weekend, but it means we have to drive to Orlando. Which we are totally willing to do. I've looked closer to our area, and most of the dogs in shelters here are pit mixes, which I don't mind, but we have breed restrictions in the apartment. I'm really hoping this works out because right now is the perfect time for the puppy to have someone around before I start having to work full-time and can be there for training and such. I don't want to get my hopes up too high because we've seen a few we would have loved to have met, but by the time they're on the web, they generally are adopted out so fast. And if it happens, there will be many pics. Thanks for lettting me vent guys, off to try to sleep. And please, tell me about your weeks so that I can stop the moping. (Not that I want anyone to have a bad time, but I'm sure there are worse probs than mine out there)
