We arrived in Austin last night and promptly went to Whole Foods to get dinner in an attempt to detoxify our bodies from all of the fast food we have consumed in the last few days. Don't know how much good it did, but at least my body got reacquainted with vegetables and fruit.Saw the house for the first time this morning. It is definitely big and needs a lot of work. It's almost only cosmetic work, but it is a little overwhelming to someone as lazy as me. I am glad to finally be here after so much build-up and feeling okay about it all, if not a bit overwhelmed (but, really, when am I not?) Will share photos as soon as my tech gear is up and running again in about a week. I am SO glad my parents are arriving on Thursday night to help us unpack and clean. My parents are the most neat and organized people I know. they constantly look at my home environment and shake their heads as they mutter to themselves that they have no idea where they went wrong. I try to assuage their concerns by reminding him that the whole nature/nurture thing explains everything. After all, the first time I saw my birth mother's house it all fell into place. You can eat off my parent's floor but you can't even FIND my birth mother's floor at all. We waited a full 24 hours before having bbq. We ate at Rudy's tonight and it was YUMMY.
