Should I Recycle This?

As most of you know (all 2 that might read our blog) we have recently relocated to San Francisco, CA. I really hoped blogging wouldn't just be a phase I went through and seeing how my last post was in April, my fears were realized. And this post was only birthed because I'm putting off some reports I need to fill out for work and after 45 minutes wasted on Facebook, blogging somehow makes me feel less guilty for procrastinating.

Well six days since our move out west, our stuff is still "in transit". The truck driver won't call us, and we don't have his information so what I keep picturing is him going through our drawers, relaxing on our pink sofa and eating our non-perishables doused in our Asian cooking sauces. All with an evil laugh. And all of which is probably not true. It just doesn't feel like we're settled in without our stuff. It's actually like we're squatting in our apartment, because we have random IKEA furniture boxes, every electronic we own plugged in to the walls right now surrounding our friend Tim's futon mattress he's generously let us borrow. And it's actually been good cause James and I get to read what we originally thought was a sorta cheesy book (and I'm so sorry if whoever gave that book to us ever reads our blog..) and almost gave away, but actually is a pretty good one called "Moments Together". Like a daily devotional for couples, which has been fun and nice.

Here's some things that have been running through my mind and some new things we've learned about the great state of California:

  • There's a hands-free law, and you can't talk/text while driving. I usually do both responsibly and you can judge all you want.
  • You can't have the two front windows tinted, but the back two can because it obstructs your view of pedestrians at night.
  • You can't mount GPS' on the windshield.
  • Will my neighbors judge me if I don't recycle everything that's recyclable?
  • Does every girl really need yoga pants to exercise outside?
  • I hope my sister's friend doesn't find out I read her blog cause Mel said it's hilarious...but I really don't know her. And she is quite funny.
  • I need to pound out my speech for Brookey's wedding so I can memorize it and practice to the point that I won't cry when I give it. Cause everything I've been thinking about has made me cry.
  • I will try my best to be at a beach every weekend I possibly can.
  • I laughed really hard the other day when this guy who was riding his bike along the Marina while talking on the phone tried to weave through some parking bumps and ate it. HARD. He was okay, so I didn't feel too bad. It still kinda makes me chuckle..

Hopefully it won't take me 4 more months to make another post...
