Still unpacking

It'll take us awhile to get everything unpacked, but we are slowly making sense of chaos, and finding items we have stored in the garage or in the basement, trying to locate specific things, and getting settled in to our new place. We are sorting stuff and finding out that we have lots of duplicate items, like who really needs 4 George Foreman grills? So we're going to have a huge yard sale sometime in the near future.

Pete also wants to have a housewarming party soon, in mid-April, but I'm kinda bummin' about that idea because none of my family or friends will make the trip to come attend the party, so it won't really be all that fun for me. I'll be doing all the WORK of course, playing hostess, not being able to really sit and relax and enjoy myself. Nope, doesn't sound like much fun to me at all. He says we'll have a cookout on the deck, but I still say I'll be the one doing all the work, running around serving people and getting them drinks, etc., cleaning up the mess when it's all over....kinda like I do every day around here.

So, anyway....

We went to see Bernadette Peters perform with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, she was amazing. I really enjoyed it, and I left the place feeling very impressed. She's 61 years old now, but my GOD that woman is sexy. She's got the curly red hair and size 4 body....I mean, she really has aged very well. I can only hope to look half as good at 61 as she does. She did the sexiest version of "Fever" that I've ever heard, while laying down on a piano....kinda cliche, but it was very well done. After the show ended, Pete decided to make an illegal left turn, "the guy in front of him did, so it must be okay," and whatdayaknow, the policeman behind us decided that we'd be the one getting the $109.50 ticket for it. Pete seems to think going to court to argue with the judge about it will get him out of paying it, but I say blaming his choice to make an illegal turn on the guy in front of him will get him nowhere. He really scares me when he drives like a crazy man, and he does it a lot.

Well, we also went to see a sneak preview of "Monsters vs. Aliens," and it's a cute kid-flick, with the typical computer generated formulaic Disney fluff that kids love....but the best part was when there were two human characters making out in a car, with the Journey song "Who's Cryin' Now" playing in the background, before the UFO gobbled them up, of course.

So that's all the news fro our new neck of the woods.

Oh, my book probably won't be published anytime soon, I got a letter from Miep Gies saying that the foundation may not even make it through 2009 because all the funding has dried up, thanks to Mr. Madoff....that guy really screwed a lot of Jews. So, I give up on that idea, I'll just put it on the shelf like everything else I ever wanted to accomplish in my lifetime. I might as well just give up on everything I wanted to do, and resign myself to this mostly vanilla life of being a shacked up "housewife."

I do begin working at a 10 day long temp job on Thursday though, at KDKA television station. Yippy.

Bye for now.

Love, Sassy Girl
