Bums make their own gravy

I love our heater. It’s so snuggly in here right now. Especially when I was just on the couch, with my hoodie over my jumper and two blankets on me. And because our couch is awesomely soft like bed, I fell asleep for a few hours. Still tired though, so that’s a good thing. I’m not jetlagged, just tired because I got up at 7am so I’m low on sleep. Got up then because I had to wake up enough to make sure Jake didn’t forget anything he needed for work.

Everything is unpacked now. Had it almost all done when Jake got home for midday break. If I didn’t have to find places for all the things I brought back, I would’ve been one before he got here. I’m a little sad because I didn’t encounter my Jeep-on-a-pole magnet today. I wonder where I put it? I know I put it with something or in something because it was loose and I didn’t want it to bend. Hopefully it turns up.

I have a big ol jar filled with just creme eggs. And one more packet that didn’t fit in it. So perfectly awesome.

Went to the post office today to pick up the mail they were holding for us. The guy who helped us tried to tell us off for just putting the hold mail form in the PO box, which we didn’t. Obviously we were served by a silly when we handed that in. Good thing we didn’t have too much mail. And if we didn’t get a whole bunch of things for Matt and Lisa in there, it would’ve been even better. The funnest part of the mail was finding out even though we had organised with Lisa how and where and all that she could mail off check for our cable and such, we still came home to late fees and threats to disconnect if we didn’t pay. So that was nice. And also got a letter telling me to go to Hartford to get my fingerprints taken as part of the whole renewing my green card thing. I assume this would be the last step of the process, so that’s good. What is not good is that they disregarded the letter I sent with my renewing stuff saying we were out of the country till the 11th and therefore needed the appointment to be made after then. They wanted me there on the 6th. Brilliant people. Good thing is they make it obvious and easy on how to reschedule. And hopefully I can get it with enough notice to see if Lisa or Matt can take me. Hartford is confusing.

Hmm… what else… oh! I found where the icicle  came from last night. The wall right there is covered in them! Mmm… water leak. And then under that there is a watering can full of snow. Need to get my pictures up so I can show them to you all. Many layers of awesome.

We had wraps from the grocery store for dinner. I’m not sure what part of it was garlicy, but it was overpowering all the other flavours and was just not very good. So Jake got 1.5 wraps and was very happy tummied at the end.

We gave Lisa a globe yesterday, twas her christmas present. She called today so tell us how much she liked it. That makes me happy.

Title is from the christmas episode of Monk we watched today (our dvr filled to 97% while we were gone. So perfect, we didn’t miss anything).

Oh, you know what really bugged me this morning? I couldn’t find my cup. Twas nowhere. You’d think that if you were staying in someone’s house while they weren’t there and you broke a cup, you’d leave a note saying so, right? I had to take the cup the spoons were living in. Now the spoons are homeless.

Think I’ll go watch 24 with the hubby. Probably better than trying to do things on the computer and watch.
