 It's Sunday, September 9th. It is, what time is it? 11.37, that's what the stove says anyway. It is quite here. I think it's the calm before the storm. Our furniture is being delivered from California on Tuesday. And in the meantime, we're having landscaping done, the wall out here repainted, which if you're watching this, you saw the beginning part of it in last week's vlog. Now I can show you, if I turn around, the red is completely gone, and this beautiful shade of green, which we had in the old house, which we love. I love it. Looks really great. He's painting the master bedroom, a wall in the master bedroom right now. So now it's nice to have a quiet afternoon. When he's done, we're gonna head out to the grocery store and yeah, get some actual food in the house. Something besides yogurt, coffee or junk food. Anyway, I think it's all good. Bandit will be coming home in about a week. My parents are going to bring him down from their place and help us set up a dog run. By that time, the moving company will have dropped off our furniture. Things will still be in boxes, but at least that'll be done. And we're having bug people come and I don't know who else is coming. Let's see. A plumbing person is coming to fix the irrigation in the front because there's a leak. And actually we're good to go after that. At least, you know, there's a few DIY projects, but yeah, it's just to unpack and boxes. We're at the new house and we've been here since Thursday night. It is Sunday morning, September 9th. And one contractor on the roof, trimming trees, cleaning gutters, cleaning the roof, and then he's putting a solution up there so you don't get moss growing up there. And at the same time, we have another contractor who's painting the red wall that was in the house and covering that up. It is now green. It's a very pretty shade of green. It is much better than a fuchsia red. Those windows that's gonna be next on our project list. So we've gotta put window treatments on those. They're beautiful windows, but it's heck of bright in the afternoon. And we've got both computers unpacked so we can work. Here's Fred's office. We don't have our furniture yet. It comes Tuesday, but we got it hooked up. We got touch-up paint done. Oh, I missed a spot. I'll put something there. We're gonna hang a painting there. We got the touch-up paint mostly done. So yeah, so we're getting there. Now we're just kind of, we have a couple days where we can just breathe and maybe get some groceries and have a few other things done and then the moving truck comes and then the madness begins all over again. Yep, and we have to unpack all that. Yeah, I think we might have an unpacking party and see if we can con any friends and family that we have in the area to come help us over the weekend. So anyway, that's it for the moment. We'll be back. Hey guys, it is Monday. I almost said Saturday. It's not Saturday, it's Monday, September 10th. And yeah, it is just started raining outside. It's a beautiful overcast day. I love, I know that's, somebody, you don't get that. I love overcast rainy weather. I just love it. So it's a good thing I moved to Oregon, right? So anyway, I've spent most of the morning. It is like past lunch, I think. What time does the stove say? Let's see, 12.38. So just past lunch, not awfully past lunch, but I spent the morning unpacking the last of the stuff I think I can unpack before furniture gets here. I think I cut my lip this morning. Anyway, which would be the big paintings that we brought with us. And we may not have furniture except for folding tables and chairs and let's see, air beds for sofas. But we have paintings on the wall as you saw. So I've started to have it look like and feel like home and I've hung some paintings up on the wall. Let me show you all around and let me turn the camera around, I'll be right back. Kitchen is gonna go there underneath those paintings and there is a little wine fridge that's gonna go here in the corner. It's gonna be the bar area. That is the door to the master bedroom and I hung those paintings in. That was my husband's idea. I think that's a brilliant idea. So I like that. There's even something pretty for you to look at when you're in the power room and there you go, you're sitting down. And yes, as you see, we don't have a mirror yet. They took the mirror that was in here with them. I do think we knew they were gonna do that. I don't remember exactly, but I think that we knew that there was something special for them, but that's okay. I didn't like it anyways. I put some paintings here in the library that I want to hang up, but two of one to one of someone else's. That was actually an engagement present for my parents-in-law. I love that picture. But I need to get the bookcases in here first. We have another painting here and then some more going up the staircase. We have a lot from now on. Here's the other face similar to the one downstairs. I painted those for the Yahoo Small Business photo shoot. I did hang some paintings up in the art space. I'm not gonna be putting a lot in here because we need to put new Florian, which is gonna take a few weeks. All those, so cool. That's it for right now. I'll be back. Hey everybody. It is, what day is it? Wednesday. It's Wednesday, September 12th. I'm pretty sure, I think. I spent the morning unpacking another dozen or so boxes. We had the bug people come by. We're using a company called Aptiva. They are a environmentally friendly, all natural. Yeah, I'm sorry, Aptiv. They're a nationwide company, I believe. And they use no harmful chemicals in their control of bugs and pests. So, or at least very few. So we had them come by today. I also had the designer come by and help me order window treatments. So that's on order. That'll take three or four weeks to come in. The new floor for the art room has already been ordered a couple of days ago. That's gonna take four or five weeks to come in. The guys come in to measure next week. I've got seven kitchen boxes left. And the island needs to be cleaned. But I'm thinking I'll tackle the last seven boxes and get that stuff put away and then clean the island. Husband's got a couple hours left of work yet. And then we need to go to the grocery store, but maybe I can tackle these while he's doing that. Maybe. We'll see how far I get. Hi, guys. I have no idea if I vlogged yesterday. It's gotten like that. We are here in one of the spare bedrooms upstairs. And it's a second master sort of. It doesn't have a bathroom, but it's got a huge walk-in closet. And this is where we're putting all the art storage stuff. All the, I shouldn't say that. This is called the art storage room temporarily. It will eventually be a large guest room. But, let's see. Just, I'm not putting too much in the proper art room until we get the new floor in. So, there's just no point. I do not want to pack it up again. I only want to have to unpack it once. So, it's all here. And there's some, whoops, where are we? Old pictures from back in the day photos. Oh, that's an oldie from back in the day, 1987. Me and my baby sister Elizabeth, the one who helped me move. And there's a picture of Bob and I again from back in the day. Holy cow, there's another one. Oldies, there we go. That is me and all three of my siblings. Yep, these are some oldies. No idea where I'm gonna hang that yet. So, everything that I either don't want to unpack because it's art room stuff or I'm not sure where it's gonna go yet, it's in this room. Yeah, so that's a thing. Anyway, it's been quite an adventure getting everything unpacked. So far, I have the kitchen unpacked. Most of the living room except the electronics and entertainment center, because yeah, it's best I don't unpack that and let the husband do it. And all of my part of the master bedroom is unpacked. The kitchen was a big thing. That's worse than the art supplies, but I got it all done yesterday. Tomorrow I'm gonna start on the library area, I think. A few boxes a day, a little bit at a time, and it'll get done soon, right? In between contractors and cleaners and yeah. So, that's a thing. Anyway, I'll give you a little tour of the house and the rooms as they stand at the moment. Up off the floor is our storage room slash one of the master guest, I'm sorry, one of the guest bedrooms. It's big like our master bedroom, and this one has a really pretty view. Let's see. This is the premium guest room, because look at the view, like of the forest. A little bit of the house is behind us, but look that way, really cool. And we're using the closet in here for storage, but this is the one with the big walk-in closet I showed you all before, and also all the Christmas decorations and baby items and stuff like that are in here. I'll live there for a while. This is the balcony. See the living room's all set up. And the dining room. This here will be Bob's office. He's not got anything set up yet, and you notice he's not in here, but he is working from home today. He's borrowing part of my art room to work in for the moment while the contractors are coming in and out. This is the other guest room, the smaller one. It doesn't have a pretty view. It, yeah, just a view of the wall. I think I showed you guys that before. And see, there's Fred. There's the other balcony looking down this staircase. Y'all all thought it was interesting and funny that I didn't have furniture in, but I had paintings hung up, at least those of you who saw me on social media. Well, it was all I could do until the moving truck came and I had to do something with myself. So anyway, we're really liking the new house, and I'll give you all a proper art tour. When things are mostly done, I already have a Goodwill pile. I thought I did a lot of purging before I moved. I was wrong. So I've got to get that in the back of the car and get that taken care of tomorrow. Got a couple of things that should have made it upstairs when the movers were here for some reason they didn't. Those are both art room things. And this is the room I'm gonna start on tomorrow. I think it was a little sun room for the previous owners, but for us it's gonna be a library space and all of these boxes have books in them, or games, but mostly books. I know, right? Yeah. So anyways, that's a little stash of things I want down here somewhere. I just don't know where yet. And little paintings. And this part's all done. Pretty cool. So that's it for the moment. We have our first HOA meeting tonight, and that's it. I'll check back in with you tomorrow. I'll be back. Good foggy morning, everybody. It's Friday morning, September 14th. And there's a foggy look at the forest next to our property. It's just beautiful. It's an interesting shopping experience in Oregon. So my husband's home working. We needed a few things. So I headed out to go run errands by myself. By the way, it's still Friday. It's 1109. I've tried to film this a couple of times this morning, and you know, anyway. So in Oregon is one of those states where you have to buy liquor in a liquor store. In California, you can just get liquor pretty much everywhere, but in Oregon's one of those states where you can't. And it is definitely more expensive than California. In California, the bottle of rum I bought this morning for my husband would have been probably $15, and it was like 22. So yeah. And then I also got a bottle of lemon cello. I'm not exactly sure how much each one was, but I only got the two bottles of liquor. They weren't super huge, normal size like wine bottle size bottles of liquor, and they were $42 together. So if you wanna know what to get Bob for Christmas, probably get him liquor or gift cards to liquor stores. He's gonna need it anyway. I don't drink that much. My one bottle of lemon cello will probably last me a year or more, because I just don't drink that much. And then I just went to Fred Meyer. That was interesting. I love that store. They have just enough of a selection of everything that unless you need something specific, you don't need to go anywhere else. And I love that. So I needed a few things for dinner tonight. The kids are coming over. We're reinstating family dinner at night. I would say end game night, but the games are still packed, but we'll have a nice visit and we'll have some. I'm gonna make some tacos. So that's it. I'm gonna try to find my way home now because that's a thing. Hmm, yeah. We're gonna use the GPS Waze app. If you don't know what Waze is, it's a navigation app. I love it. And it gives you up-to-date traffic information. It accounts for traffic jams and stuff like that. And it's crowd sourced, crowd. I can't think of the term. Where the people who use the app report the traffic so that the app can navigate the next person who wants to go that way in a good direction. Basically. I know one of you all out there can explain it better than I can. And I had this on this morning because when I left the house, it was like in the early, the low fifties. And now it's headed up to the mid sixties. And of course, hot flashes have set in. I'm boiling. It's on anyway. I still get to wear sleeves, woo-hoo. All right, that's it for the moment. I'll be back. Saturday, September 15th. And we're doing a bit more unpacking and Mr. Cranky Pants is home. AKA Bandit. I'm not talking about Fred. Can you hear him crying? Cause like people aren't paying attention to him. He was a little bit, yeah. Getting used to his new place. He's probably gonna cry a little bit because he doesn't, he's not familiar. Hi, puppy. Hey guys, it is the end of our first week here in the new house and so far so good. There are a few things we need to fix or change right away, like with any house. But significantly less than the old house, I think. Plus we're able to spread out here, which we both like. Mr. Bandit is home as you saw and he's outside in his run right now. And I think he's stopped. Hopefully he gets used to the new house. He is too old to make it up the stairs. He kind of got up three or four steps and then sat down and looked at us like, what the fuck? Seriously. So yeah, he's not gonna be able to make it up the stairs but we kind of knew that going in anyway. But it's good to have him home finally and have the family back together. So anyway, it's been a great week, exciting week. Cross your fingers that the other house sells quickly. It is currently on the market. By the time you see this, I'll insert a video. One minute video here of me, of me, of the house. And it's been staged and cleaned and it is open for business. You can contact Dave Rudden. His contact information is in the description below. He is our realtor there if you are interested. And my old art room that you all saw here on YouTube is the room they've decorated as the Rockstar bedroom. So anyway. There you have it. And I hope you've all had a great week too and have enjoyed this little adventure with us. Have a great day, have a great week and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later. Bye guys.
