eatin' turkey stew

well, i'm eating turkey stew and it is great! and i didn't have to make it... things are so super crazy for my poor fam right now... the hubby has been working from 9am until 8 or 9 pm and will be for the next few days too... i am working overnight tonight, tomorrow, and the next night.... the floors are still not done, no furniture for the living room yet and bad weather on the way to complicate our renovation/construction... i was able to get the first coat of paint on the downstairs hallway and put most of the face plates back on... i also put up some of the curtains, made a ton of phone calls, ordered the new ceramic top stove, picked out ceramic tiles for the entry way, went to the bank and made a few more trips from the apartment to the house and started cleaning.... the kids are being really great about mostly being cooped up in the rooms downstairs, but i want them to be able to explore their new house.... i cannot wait to be settled... this weekend jeff (the hubby) is busy all day saturday, but i think i can get some stuff done.... by then the computer and cable will be up and running and i'll have 3 days (pretty much) to work diligently on my projects....

in other news, i bought an orchid finally... i have been wanting one for many long times and today i took the plunge... it is so beautiful... it has many blossoms and looks so healthy... also it has another stem growing and that will also blossom... i'll take a pic of it and post it (if i ever find the time....) also, i bought a second of my other favorite plant, the hindu rope (hoya carnoso compacta) and a tiny silver-nerved fittonia... my new house if more full of plants than furniture... hmm, if i only had a couch to sit on to enjoy my lovely plants....

i suppose i should do some work.
