Moved

So Andy and I arrived in Dietrich, Idaho today. We left Chicago Monday, drove to Nebraska and stopped for the night at a fancy motel 6, then Tuesday drove to Ogden and once again stopped at a renowned motel 6. This morning we left around 11am after going to Denny's for some greasy spoon breakfast, as well as a little embarrassment on my part when some slimy guys talked about my "great rack" while Andy was using the facilities. How did I respond you ask? I tried to ignore it and walked outside to call my Mom while waiting for Andy, and guess what happened? As I'm on the phone with my mom another well-bred gentleman yells out his window, "nice rack". What the heck! I was dressed modestly, actually in a long dress with a t-shirt underneath, and still I get crap. Obviously I was shen-pa'd (hung up) by this situation. What decade did men decide that sort of behavior was appropriate or even wanted? Of course when Andy exited the Denny's and I told him what happened he snickered, gave me a hug, then apologized.

Not funny...anyway...

We arrived in Dietrich, which honestly, is pretty cute so far. I really like the people we've met (including the cute dog who followed us around town as we explored the 5 streets and jumped up to the side of the car while we were at a stop sign so I could pet him), the house we moved into is pretty fab, and twin falls is only 20 min away. After unloading the cars, heading to twin for groceries and such, unloading the groceries, starting to unpack the kitchen and bathroom supplies, realizing the kitchen and bathroom were not quite clean enough for a clean freak to put her clean freak things into, scrubbing the fridge, stove, sink, and cabinets (the counters were spotless), then heading for the bathroom and cleaning the shower, sink, etc., then unpacking and organizing the kitchen and bathroom, finally settling down and watching West Side Story with Andy, AFTER ALL THAT...I'm not tired and cannot fall asleep...

I'm sitting in our cute living room listening to the lack of ambient noise other than the fridge and wondering if I'll ever slow down enough to fall asleep tonight. I am a fan of the free wifi I get from the school across the street. However the lack of netflicks and facebook due to blocked access is enough for me to decide to pay 30/mo for internet on my own. What can I say, I need my films.

I am so excited that Andy has finally given in to my no television plan! We'll be able to watch tv online or through netflicks via our wii, so its not as though I'm stopping completely. But, I am excited to stop wasting time watching lame reality television for hours when I could be wasting time reading one of the many books I've acquired at garage sales over the past few months or brush up on my french skills or baking skills or learning to be crafty skills (a girls gotta have skills). I'm hoping it lasts at least a year, but Andy may be done with my plan before the month is up (he's already talking about getting a new flat screen because "our tv isn't cool enough").

It seems I'm blabbing on and on because it's almost 3 am and I'm FINALLY getting tired. Hooray for circadian rhythms.
