Our Fabulous Farewell

I know this is super late, but I just had to post these pictures from our last days in the UK.  I had so much fun with my theater family and friends and I was sad to go.  You know that feeling when you are happy and sad at the same time? Sorta Bipolar?  Well let's just say that I was a bundle of emotion.  

Arent they the cutest?

Pinky promise to se eachother again.  I love my Emma Boo!

It was a great time.  Hanging out with everyone and making with the teary eyes.  I cried too much!! But All is well now.  It's not goodbye after all!  

Publix: Where Have You Been All My Life?

I have like 3 different blogs just chillin in the Draft holster, but I had to post about this real quick.  Those of you that already know about publix, or live in an area that has one, already know about the magical aisles that I lost myself in today.

I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!! Let me start by saying that I've never been to a publix before, and after being in England and only having the commissary or Sainsbury's for shopping, the whole experience of shopping had become dull and monotonous.  BUT HARK, THE GROCERY ANGELS SING!!

Now we don't have a whole foods in Valdosta, so I was worried about getting my good fruit and veg, but this grocery store (though expensive) is a pretty decent substitute.  Needless to say, I spent quite a bit in there.  It makes sense though.  We had a bottle of almond milk and  a box of Special K in the pantry before we went on that trip.  It was necessary... Mostly.  Maybe I didn't need the pound of cashews.  Or the Canadian Cheddar that we got from the deli.

Fruits and Veggies and Cheeses, Oh My!  In other news, putting together a house is so expensive.  I am now on a self mandated spending freeze (Not all the way "Self", husband said "Shaina, you need to get your shit together and get out of my wallet) and I will not be buying anything else in the way of house putting togethering-ness.  But the fridge is looking great, thanks to Publix- My new favorite place in Valdosta!!!

Are you a Publix fan? What is your favorite grocery store?  

Finally Settled in Georgia

After what seemed like an 8 year experience, we are finally settled into our new home in Valdosta, Ga.  I am not going to get into a lot of details here because I have several blogs pending.  I have to write about my show and my last few emotional days in England.  This post is just to say HELLO!!! And to remind you that I'm still here hahahaha.  It was hard to find time to write between the show, parties, dinners, and travelling.  But I'm finally here!!

The First time at the house

We found this amazing couch set on Craigslist and I absolutely them.  They were a steal and are literally the most comfortable thing in the world.  The girl we bought them from was super sweet and so was her boyfriend.  Valdosta friends anyone?

We also finally bought a new bed.  We saw a "Mattress Firm" store while we were getting our new cell  phones turned on, and after the salesman stopped trying to sell us $8000 tempur pedic beds, we found a delicios pillow top king that was within the buget.  I sleep like a baby.  I'm not kidding.  As soon as I get into the bed I am out like a light.  We needed something to sleep on so I bought this cheap set from walmart.  I never would have guessed that they would be so soft...like butter!

We went to petsmart and I HAD to buy these shirts because, as you can see, they are absolutely amazing. I mean really, how stinking cute are they?

Check out this back yard.  This is just a piece of it too.  It's huge.  I am so in love with this house.  I am sure I will say it another 1000 times on this blog, but I am really in love with it.  Of course there will be more pictures to come, but this is just a taste of the awesomeness.

And lastly, we got the babies shaved and groomed.  Let's just call it what it was- PUPPY SPA DAY!!! They were washed in an oatmeal bath, had their ears cleaned, nails filed- I mean, the whole 9 yards.  And when they came out, they were wearing these little petsmart ascots..real Fred style (Fred from Scooby Doo for those of you young'uns reading this).

All in all, it's been a helluva few days.  In an amazing way.  More to come later my darlings!
