The one where we celebrate happy 1 month!!

So today is officially 1 month since we made the big move!  I can't believe how fast it has gone by!!  The rest of our stuff should arrive in a couple more weeks making our house feel even more homey. Right now I am working on making a magnetic board to hang in the kitchen.  The refrigerator is not magnetic - its one of those that looks like cabinet doors - so I can't hang any of my magnets there.  I like to collect magnets from all the places that my Puffin has taken me.  And, of course the place will never feel like home until I get pics of my Vivi Lu and Nate the Great put up!

Day by day I get more and more comfortable and constantly have FRIENDS flashbacks.  Specifically, the one when Ross looses his job and stays home all day with Joey.  Monday - pay water bill, Tuesday - pay electric bill, etc.  However mine is more like:
Monday - wash clothes, take dogs on a walk, prank call Greg, make dinner
Tuesday - vaccuum and mop, take dogs on a walk, prank call Greg, make dinner
Wednesday - wash more clothes, take dogs on a walk, prank call Greg, make dinner
Thursday - clean bathrooms, take dogs on walk, prank call Greg, make dinner
Friday - go grocery shopping, take dogs on a walk, prank call Greg, make dinner

Lol, quite a different life than what I am used to for sure!  I am getting more comfortable driving though, so hopefully I will become more adventourous.  Yesterday, I drove Kel and I to the beach and we played putt putt.  I'm pretty sure I only broke a couple of laws so - getting better!!

We have discovered many hiking trails near our house.  The scenery is gorgeous and the dogs, especially Murphy, love to get out and play in the river.  I am not sure why he seems to be the only one around here to get in it though.  The water is very mild right now, just like the temperature.  Everyone complains about how hot it is right now, but I still haven't seen anyone in the river or at the beach.  I can't figure that out.  I have been tempted a couple of times to get in, but I'm afraid there is some kind of toxic waste that we are unaware of.

I have finally figured out the grocery store and where to find my "usual"  groceries.  I cook 6 times a week, mostly so I have something to do, so if you have a recipe you want to share - send it my way!  I want to have a good arsenal so Puffin doesn't get tired of eating the same thing over and over.  I also want to prepare and freeze a bunch of meals so that he has something to eat while I am back home for a couple of weeks.  Of course, he said he'd be happy eating sandwiches every night, but I feel bad that he would have to do that.  Luckily, the house has 2 freezers (both small-like a mini fridge) so there should be enough room for me to store the meals.

That was a serious request, btw.  If you could all email me jesslynd@sbcglobal.net or FB msg me your favorite recipe(s), I would REALLY appreciate it!  It can be a main dish, side, dessert, breakfast, lunch, dinner - WHATEVER!  :)
