It's only Tuesday...

I was just looking over our booklists today and you are still ahead of me. You know that this booklist thing was great for my reading. For some reason I am feeling very competitive (in a friendly way, of course) and absolutely want to be reading as much if not more than you! :-) And have you noticed it is impossible for me to read just one book at a time? It must be a hazard of working in the library. Everyday that I forget to bring something to read on break, I have to pick out something new to read. As a result, I always have way too much to read. Not to mention what I have on hold...my hold list is huge and then I have another list of books that we don't have in the system yet to read.

Anyway, I'm starting to think Doug is not as excited as I am about moving. I don't know if he's getting nervous or what. Last night after I told him what you said about leases, he still says he wants to wait until June (it will have been 6 months by then). Which I guess it's my own fault for telling Desire that we would move in May, but still. I guess he doesn't feel my anxiety because he is already out on his own. I'm still stuck at home. Maybe once he sees the house and can start to picture things there it will be better. So I started making a list last night of the things that we don't yet have or may need more of once we move. Do you want to see it?? Well, you don't have a choice. ;-) Let me know if there is anything you think we have missed.

Refrigerator (I think we have one from Doug's brother, but I'm not absolutely sure)
Washer
Dryer
Lawn Mower (unless we buy my dad's old riding mower for $200)
Futon Cover (so that the futon will be usable as guest bed or extra couch)
Computer (for when I go back to school)
Queen Size Bed (so that Doug doesn't roll over on me in the middle of the night anymore)
Couch (this is a maybe)
Chair (also a maybe)
Iron
Ironing Board (can't have an iron without it!)
More towels (Doug thinks it is okay to use the same towel for 2 weeks, & he only has about 4)
Pizza Stone (random thing I want)
Blender (another random thing)
Throw Pillows
TV Trays
Rugs (lots of hardwood floors!)

That's it for now. I'm sure it will continue to grow the closer it gets to moving. Can you think of anything else?
