Still moving in
08.15.2006Still setting up my office. But things are looking good. Perhaps by tomorrow I'll get a chance to really catch up on Bolivian news, blogs, and get my office iMac all set up to mirror Kaneda (who now has new little rubber feet to keep him cool).
Funny how hard it is to find a bookend. There wasn't a one at Target. Which just reminded me how much I miss Meijer. Now I have to learn to run out to Giant (groceries), Home Depot (tools), Target (underwear), Office Max (bookends), a package store (wine), and a beer distributor (blue laws are incredibly funny here). Where I back in Michigan, I'd have gotten all in a single trip out to Meijer's. Oy vey.
But Carlisle seems really nice so far. The apartment's slowly coming together. We've painted the living room (yellow) & dining room (blue); we'll start on the bedrooms & kitchen this weekend. But I love having a nice, big, long back yard. It's awesome. We're eating all our meals outside.
OK. Back to office organization. As I listen to WIDR 89.1 on iTunes. A little touch of home in the midday.

I don't know if you heard yet, but WMU trustees terminated Bailey. Check out the WMU homepage for the article.

How I miss Meijers as well. Here we have Fry's which is owned by the same company as Kroger's. It's a nice alternative to Wal-Mart, which I only go to to purchase personal items because they are cheap.

We are in the same boat trying to get our homes set up! I miss Meijer - the outdoor market here with the boys handling wheel barrows is a bit much to get used to right now. But can't beat the fresh fruits and vegetables. I'd love to be able to shop all afternoon without fighting the crowded stretts and irregular side walks.! There are always new things to get used to in whatever situation we find ourselves. Actually things sound like they are going pretty good for you and they are for us too.
