Things I’d Like to Remember From the Week + 6:52

Things I’d like to remember from this week:

• A spotless stove.  Poor thing has no idea how dirty she’s going to get.
• How insanely happy I am to make her filthy.
• The million times we’ve said, “Fuck Ikea.  Never again.” or “A house with stairs is awful.  Why’d we buy a house with stairs?”
• “Night, Becks.  I love you.”  - me. “And I love our new room” -Becks
• Next move, buy a keg.
• There’s nothing like the first coat of paint.  You either freak out about the color or fall deeply in love.  This time, we fell in love.
• The time I almost drove away from our home because of a couch’s slipcover.  I would have come back.  I just needed to tantrum.
• By Friday, the dog settled down.
• One day, I met three neighbors.  One brought a pie and all went out of their way to welcome us.
• The walk to a local fabric store with a good friend.
• I got some help with the leaves.
• My clothes finally smelled clean.  The 12 year-old washer and dryer did the best they could.
• Even surrounded by chaos, boxes, paint fumes, and trash, I felt like I was home on Monday.
