NaBloPoMo: Take 9

2009 November 9
by Kimmy

Well, I’m sitting in the quiet of our new living room (no cable yet!) drinking some hot tea and trying not to cough too much.

I really, really want to feel better!

I accomplished a little today. Every day a small amount gets done around here to make this house start to look like home. I wish I wasn’t sick cause I’m sure I’d be much further along than I am now. That’s okay though, we”ll get there;-)

Hopefully I’ll have some pics to share by the end of the week. Be patient, my friends!

In other news…

Well, there really isn’t any other news right now. This it it and let me tell ya, that’s enough for me!! I can only handle so much at once and moving (especially whilst sick) is quite the big project!

Don’t even remind me that the holidays are fast approaching. I’ve never been so unprepared in my life. I can tell you one thing though…I’m going to celebrate harder and stronger than ever. Despite the crappy year, we’ve much to be grateful for!

Got a few things put away today, but it’s still slow-going.

Had a few visiting neighbors;-)

Went to Target to pick up some supplies.

That wore me out.

Fever again tonight.

Well, I can now say with some confidence that we are officially moved into our new home!

We moved all of the large furniture today thanks to a lot of amazing people! The majority of these people actually volunteered to help. And, when I say volunteered, I mean VOLUNTEERED! As in, they called me!

Here, have a definition or two:

a person who voluntarily offers himself or herself for a service or undertaking.

a person who performs a service willingly and without pay.

Crazy, crazy, awesome people!!

To everyone who has helped in any capacity this week, a HUGE thank you!!!

We could not have done it without each and every one of you. Especially with me being so sick this week, I could barely function, let alone move things or even be remotely organized! I don’t even know how things came together.This week has been quite the blur!

I’m really hoping I feel better soon so I can actually start making this house a home.

I’ll be back tomorrow, and eventually I’ll even bring pictures! ;-)

So, as I was saying…

We sorta moved!

As in, we are living somewhere else.

We have a new abode!

Our dwelling place has changed!

We got new digs!

We’ve changed zip codes!

Seriously, the last couple days are a blur. We’ve moved (enough to live at our new place, we will finish on the weekend) and it feels so weird to me!  The really bad part is that I’ve been so sick, coughing and fevered the whole time and I know it’s been getting worse instead of better because I haven’t been able to get proper rest.

I feel so crappy that I’ve been just laying around instead of unpacking! Normally, I’d have the place half decorated by now!

Oh well, I managed to get some sleep last night, so I really hope that is gonna help make me feel better CAUSE I AM MISERABLE!

See you all tomorrow!

Melody Carlson Blog Tour

No giveaways today, but I would like to take the opportunity to tell you about two new exciting books from Melody Carlson. The first is called What Matter’s Most and it is the third Maya book in the Diary of a Teenage Girl series.

Maya’s Green Tip for the Day: Recycled fashion is one of the most fun ways to go green. A pair of jeans could be transformed into a denim skirt. A sweater into a vest. A bunch of old ties into a dress. A blanket into a poncho. Accessorize it in new way–with beads, buttons, appliqués, buckles, stencils, or ribbons…your imagination is only the limit. (65 words)

!cid_image002_gif@01CA32F7Sixteen-year-old Maya Stark has a lot to sort through. She could graduate from high school early if she wants to. She’s considering it, especially when popular cheerleader Vanessa Hartman decides to make her life miserable–and Maya’s ex-boyfriend Dominic gets the wrong idea about everything.

To complicate matters even more, Maya’s mother will be released from prison soon, and she’ll want Maya to live with her again. That’s a disaster waiting to happen. And when Maya plays her dad’s old acoustic guitar in front of an audience, she discovers talents and opportunities she never expected. Faced with new options, Maya must choose between a “normal” life and a glamorous one. Ultimately, she has to figure out what matters most.

Next we have Limelight, an adult Christian fiction release by Melody Carlson.

!cid_image003_gif@01CA32F7Claudette Fioré used to turn heads and break hearts. She relished the glamorous Hollywood lifestyle because she had what it takes: money, youth, fame, and above all, beauty. But age has withered that beauty, and a crooked accountant has taken her wealth, leaving the proud widow penniless and alone.

Armed with stubbornness and sarcasm, Claudette returns to her shabby little hometown and her estranged sister. Slowly, she makes friends. She begins to see her old life in a new light. For the first time, Claudette Fioré questions her own values and finds herself wondering if it’s too late to change.
