So, as today is my last boring weekday at home by myself, I figured I'd finally start your new favorite blog. :) Ok, I should have started before, but, blah, blah, excuses, some more excuses...at least I'm doing one now. Buddy and I, as many know, have recently moved to the Mid-South heartland of Memphis, Tennessee, and we love it so far. (we don't have many friends yet, but we still like it here). The ward is super-friendly, and nobody waters the grass here, 'cause it doesn't need it! I love being somewhere with green grass and trees again; I'm just waiting for my promised thunderstorms. I thought we'd get them from the Hurricane Gustav, but all we got was a tornado watch that was a false alarm...maybe Ike will bring more. It's really humid here, but our apartment (which is three times the size of our old one!) is nice and cool. Buddy and I spend our time together (our limited time, since buddy's at school all day) watching episodes of Psych and Bones and running/working out. We run outside together every other day, and work out on the off days. Running outside here, by the way, is like running through a steamy shower. Uphill. Even at night. :)
We've been able to find some good deals in furniture from Craigslist, too. We got a nice couch, loveseat, coffee table, and two end tables all for $300, and a working washer and dryer for $150! Speaking of the dryer, if anyone needs to know how to replace the felt on a dryer, I've done it! I felt so handy (though I just followed online instructions from a helpful website) as I took apart the dryer, scraped off the old felt, glued on the new, and put it back together again! It took me about 3 hours, though; mainly because that stupid old felt took forever to scrape off!
Is this post long enough for being my first post? I hope so. I'm all worn out.
