Happy Friday!

I am pleased, and a little proud, to announce that our apartment now has curtains!  Of course, since it is us, things didn't go exactly as we planned, nonetheless, we have curtains.  And they are hanging in the apartment.  Don't look too close.  I am a beginner.  Pictures later.  I do have my camera again.  (Thanks Kelly!) 

Tomorrow my family is coming to visit our humble abode.  Not only are they coming to visit, they are bringing gifts!  By gifts, I mean a real bed.  My bed.  My beloved, comfortable mattress will finally replace the futon, whose bars and mattress springs become more pronounced each night.  No longer will I hit my head on the overhang of the futon on which the top bunk is meant to be perched.  (That happened twice today.  N.G.  Not good.)

Assuming the roominess of the van holds up, we will also have my dresser to replace the one that has currently made a full box of my clothes homeless.  Woohoo for everything having a place!

In other news, the job hunt is on for nanny positions.  I'm hoping to find a good fit soon.  Meanwhile, the apartment is coming along nicely and becoming home.  Oh, and today, I made chicken enchiladas for dinner.  Jered ate the whole thing.  Then I made brownies and added cream cheese for fun.  Yummm.

Also,  I finished Mockingjay and The Bride Collector this week.  Fantastic.  The first time I read Mockingjay, it was my least favorite of The Hunger Games.  I enjoyed (if you can use the word enjoy for The Hunger Games) much more this time.  Maybe appreciate is a better word.  I was completely blurry-eyed for half of the end.  Goosebumps were also prominent through about half of the entire book.

The Bride Collector was excellent as well.  At times it was difficult to follow because it goes into the mind of a schizophrenic.  More on that later.  Right now, my husband is looming over my shoulder because he is ready to leave the library. So I bid you ado.

Later,
Aim
