Update

I am still alive!

So it seems to have taken me a lot longer to recover from the visits than I realised. I was sure I had posted in November but apparently my memory is faulty, so here goes:

1. Everyone finally went home!

2. George and Barbara got planted in their new homes.

3. We have been doing some work on the house (since we have our apartment until the end of December) so things are ready for moving in.
3a. Cleaning and painting the creepy basement



3b. Tearing down a wall between two small bedrooms.



4. Jason has decided he can move everything in our Subaru and has been taking things over a bit at a time to prove this to me, he just wants to be able to tell people he did this, although everyone who hears it will think he is an idiot.

5. The only large things left in our apartment are our bed and the futon(couch).

6. We bought a set of living room furniture(sofa, love seat, and chair).! I have been trying to get off that blasted futon for years and finally it has happened! It gets delivered to the house Dec. 9.

7. We are going home(to Alberta) for xmas but haven't booked our tickets yet.

8. I have to mail all the xmas gifts to England by the end of next week, ugh.

9. I have to buy all of the xmas gifts for England by next week

10. Jason has been in Dallas at a conference since last Saturday and he comes home tomorrow night.

11. He has had steak for dinner every night and so complains about his upset stomach every night. Every night!Come on, I am sure he could have ordered chicken or something, he's supposed to be a smart guy right, but apparently Dallas only serves beef. Whatever.

12. The big stuff is mostly moved, but the small stuff really adds up! Need more boxes.

13. I have been working on a secret project, but I can't say anything here because it should be ready for xmas and people at home read this blog, but if it turns out I'll post about it after the big reveal.
