MOO

Husband and i figured that if regular cows said "MOO" then texas cows must say, "MOO Y'ALL"


just one of the things that gave us endless amounts of laughter on the 21 hour trip to Home.

so, obviously we made it.
and without any problems.

we spent the night at mom and dad's saturday night. we got up at 4:30 on sunday, and they got up to see us off. and mom even made me ORANGE cinnamon rolls. how much does she love ME? went home and finished packing up the truck. FINALLY left around 7 and headed west.

we drugged our cats and that was an adveture in and of itself. and every time thereafter, it got harder and harder. i still have small holes in me from their razor sharp claws. i hope it doesnt rain anytime soon, i would leak.

we drove through memphis and on to arkansas. we got almost to oklahoma when i couldnt take it anymore. the cats were being unruly, and i was about to jump out of the truck. 14 hours was enough.
we stopped in clarksville and slept on the BEST bed ever. it was called a "pillow top" and was exactly that! we didnt want to get up the next morning.

but we did. and we hit the road about 10. and yes, once we crossed the Texas state line, i cried. i am a baby. i admit it freely and willingly. shut up.

we got to our apartment, which really wasnt as bad as H made it seem. it just needs a woman's touch, that's all.
we dropped of the kittygirls and went running errands. we finally crashed around 11 and slept like babies.
his buddies got there around 2 to help us unpack and that went just fine, unil they came to drop off all the stuff i had on their list. they basically just dropped it on a flat spot and went and got more.

at least i was able to direct some of them. all the kitchen boxes are in the kitchen, but we had 2 coffee tables in the living room blocking us from gettting to the hall closet.... blah blah blah.

BUT we have a living room that is sorta set up. we have a bedroom in the making. and the kitchen still has 10 boxes in it. goot lawd. that is going to be one hell of a project.
but its MY project.
in MY new home.
in MY home state.
with MY husband.
and i love it!


so, i miss all of you. and i want to thank all of you who came to the Going Away Gathering. for those of you who said you were coming and did not, you better start the Sucking Up now. ;)
it will be noted come Christmas Card Time.

moo y'all.
