It's been harder to blog these days not knowing who (if anyone) is reading my blog. There have been many moments throughout the day when I think "I need to blog about this" but oftentimes, these moments have been times of acute homesickness. Not sure how interesting that would be to read or write about.
THE TALLY SO FAR . . .
- 1 month since we've left Boston
- 2 weeks of work-at-home for Air Boss
- 3 weeks of unpacking (and not unpacking), spending lots of moolah, and figuring out our way around RB
- 3 attempts at the DMV before finally getting the Black Hawk successfully registered with CA plates
- 4 weeks of bad sleep for 'Shroom who's had to share a bed with bed-thrasher Lolli
- 6.5 weeks without our washer and dryer (and still counting)
- 12 new beach toys for the kids (thank you to grandma and grandpa!)
- 13 more boxes to unpack
- 25 unopened-and-no-room-to-unpack boxes in the garage
- 700 minutes of T-Mobile anytime minutes to supplement our HotSpot@Home cellphone plan
- 5,734 crumbs still littering the Black Hawk's interior from our cross-country road trip
- 104,354,291 grains of sand in the Black Hawk and in our flip flops from our trips to the beach
AN EARLY BIRTHDAY PRESENT
Let's just say that Red Sox Nation has finally come to Redondo Beach (land of the Dodgers). After mising Red Sox games for months now, Air Boss is now finally able to root for his team thanks to his subscription to MLB.com and live streaming video. I am once again a baseball widow.
A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP (FINALLY)
Well, we're hoping that tonight will be 'Shroom's first good night's sleep in over a month since he and Lolli have had to share the same bed. Although they've never had to share a bed smaller than a hotel-sized double, 'Shroom always gets crowded by his little sister. Lolli (who's been waking up each night crying hysterically since we've left Boston) somehow manages to get the middle of the bed and forces 'Shroom to the edge. Now that we finally have beds for them, 'Shroom is more than happen to reclaim his own sleeping space. It also helps that his bed is above Lolli's by a good 3-4 feet!
Well, here's to a good night's sleep for all of us . . .

Hey Dee,
I enjoy your blog -- and someday am going to read through the archives to finally figure out why you guys moved to CA in the first place :) Sheesh -- you go away for a couple years...
I am here and I am following your blog religiously. As I am far away from home too, I always look forward to reading your blog to feel that I am just there with you all. Keep blogging... someone is out there checking your blog more often than you think. Perhaps it's therapeutic for both you & me!
Hi Denise:
Keep your blog going, we all are enjoying reading it. it becomes an addiction too. Keep clicking to see if there is any new entries. Ha! we all become blog junkies these days including your aunt who is about 1000 miles north from you.
thanks guys for the comments! It really does help me blog knowing that there is an audience. Brent, I searched back in the "archives" for the reason(s) we've move out West. Hmm ... can't seem to find the blog. Guess I never really blogged about the reasons. I'll have to email you separately on that one.
Take care!
Dee
Gee, I am two blogs behind!! Dee, we are checking to see if you're blogging, sometimes a couple of times a day... please keep on doing it! ALso, you're REALLY a good writer... but I've told you that before... :)
You know that your blog serves as Sweet Potato distraction and a good chuckle ... keep it up!
