Thanks for the nice comments, guys!! I'm feeling so lucky to be able to live here. Its such a nice town (this is where Jessica Simpson lives!!) and I feel so safe...so together here.

Thank you so much for sharing in this with me. Its so exciting and great to be able to share this with my PT pals. ((hugs))

My brother, Kevin, and his girlfriend Krista came by today to check on me. It was nice chatting with them and showing Krista the place.

Then, Mom came by and helped unpack and organize. She's a great help and has a ton of good ideas! She brought me some new kitchen towels, cleaning supplies, my favorite Chocolate Rice Cakes, and a shower curtain, pole and rings. Oh!! She also brought me two more new pillows and some gorgeous pale green pillow cases!

After we unpacked most of the boxes, we headed to Target where she bought me a new floor lamp, two trash cans, a new table/basket thingy, a really nice bathmat for the bathroom and some kitty litter. Then we headed to Home Depot to make a bunch of spare keys and four patio chairs.

I treated her to dinner at Baja Fresh and dessert at Cold Stone. It was nice chatting and eating yummy food.

We then came back and watched the finale of Desperate Housewives while putting together the floor lamp, removed the stickers from the chairs and trashcans and situated the new table/basket thingy. It was a really nice day and I got spoiled to death!

Here are a few new pictures...

The kitchen is really coming along:



The dining room....a work in progress. I'll get my parents oak table and chairs as soon as their current house sells. Until then, this will do:


My FUN new floor lamp:


The new table/basket thingy....its the cat's new toybox!


OK, that's it for now. I'll post/update as I do more to the place...my desk is coming next week, so I'll take pictures of that then.

Hugs,
Kelly

Now that its quieter, the cats are out with me. Even Basie came out from under the bed to check out the place. Slowly but surely, they'll feel more at home.
