Well, I finally stepped up and made dinner.  The menu? Pan-seared chicken with red grapes.  It sounds so fancy, but it really isn't.  It was quite tasty, and Brett like it!  For those of you who don't know my husband, he is a severely picky eater.  I say that with love and admiration of course :).  All in all, the chicken was a hit, and I am sitting on the couch feeling quite full.

Since we have been back in Milwaukee a lot has happened.  The house is now, finally, somewhat settled.  The guest room is still a disaster, but we like to keep the door shut and pretend like it doesn't exist.  The big accomplishments lately have been...

• finding room for all of my clothes
• painting the living room and bedroom
• getting my social security # changed
• surviving a trip to the ghetto
• finding shoe storage
• ordering the new flooring
• putting together various pieces of furniture
• driving alone on the freeway

The list continues to grow.  The worst thing that has happened thus far happened last night.  It rained.  I love rain too, but this rain was scary.  I would say that it rained from 9pm until 7am this morning.  It wasn't a light rain either.  It was a continuous down poor with strobe-light like lightening and thunder that shook our house.  Not to mention that there was a TORNADO WATCH put out on Milwaukee!! Tornadoes!  Needless to say, I had a rough time sleeping between the crack of thunder and the fear of being blown away while I was asleep.
