Special Delivery

So today is the day that our "Air" shipment is to arrive, so after a cab ride to St. Christopher's to drop Brenna off, and then back home. I waited for our relocation specialist to arrive, in the meantime I did a bit more cleaning, the Kitchen is especially dirty, and there is no AC in there so it is better to work in there early or late. The relocation specialist arrived early, went through some paperwork, and then brought in our boxes and crates. Not allot of stuff, the rest of our clothing, some Kitchen items, a few pictures, and some items that got packed that I have NO IDEA why they ended up in the shipment.The items were as follows:
Two of our old Florida license plates
One rock
junk mail
an old hockey autograph
One dirty plastic cup (looks like it had soda in it).
NICE!!
I began to unpack our boxes, hang up clothes, get the kitchen stuff put away or loaded into the dishwasher. generally just got the stuff out of the boxes and organized. Our Wii came in this shipment, and that made both Brenna and Daddy excited. Once I finished with the organizing, I decided to try and hook up the Wii. This is where the day got interesting. I thought that the Wii cable was a transformer, big brick, just like our computer cables...Its not...and it blew up....BIG Time!! My ears were ringing for an hour. I also popped the breaker in that room of the house (good thing I knew where the circuit box was). I am hoping I just blew up the cable and not the Wii itself...not sure of that yet. I am also very thankful that I was not near the thing when it blew up. lesson learned!! The rest of the day was uneventful, thank god. Picked Brenna up from school, met another American parent (Oregon/Intel) who has a girl in Brenna's class, they are friends, and she invited Brenna over during the break, which ROCKS!! We really need to get her hanging out with kids regular, and we need some adult friends also, so it works both ways. Another of the parents has given my hand phone (cellular) number to a guy and his wife that run a weekend soccer camp, they need coaches and I need something to do, so that is cool. Ate out again tonight, really need to do less of that, but we are still adjusting. OK so here is something that catches you off guard. Brenna needs to bring in a dish to share for school tomorrow. Rox and i are clueless, what do we do?? I mean we hardly know what to get for ourselves much less a class full of kids, we thought about a fruit tray, then bakery stuff, and eventually on small individual puddings....still not sure...Our night out ended with a trip to cold storage for those puddings and another trip to the Parkmore for glass jars so I can start my Kombucha brewing tomorrow!! Psyched!! Looks like Monday I will go and see the two cars that we are interested in buying, choice 1 is a Ford Escape, choice 2 is the Hyundai Sonata...I can honestly tell you I have never been more scared to do anything in my whole life, than I am to drive here. Wrong side of the road, wrong side of the car, and it is just crazy....oh well, gotta do it!! good night everyone!!
