Our Simple Life

We like to pick one day of the week to do nothing. Well, not nothing, just a day without set plans. Laundry and house cleaning don't do themselves so spending the day at home, getting things done interspersed with reading, writing, cooking, and tons of laughing makes for very much fun (we'd let you in on the jokes, but half the time we don't even know what we're laughing at). For the time being, Jenn has given up on the hunt for shoes, but we found an electronics store down the road, which led to our purchase of a vacuum. It's really just a dustbuster with attachments to reach the floor, but it's just what we need to keep the floors relatively clean from Korean dust (not to mention a lot of stray, long, red hairs). This dust seems to settle in only hours after being thoroughly cleaned, and by thoroughly I mean sweep, dry Swifter, wet Swifter. Now we've replaced sweeping with vacuuming and it's working better. I didn't know it was possible for a woman to get so excited about a home appliance, but I haven't seen Jenn this thrilled since she got her Kitchen Aide.
We also rearranged "the great room" as we've started calling the dining room/living room/kitchen. It's not hard to rearrange when you have two pieces of furniture, so this entire renovation included switching the couch and the dining table. (If anyone cares to notice, I am wearing the same outfit as the picture when my pants and my leg mysteriously disappeared.) We like the setup better because we can use the table as a computer desk now, instead of sitting on the floor.
To top off our simple day, we are going to play a ferocious game of gin rummy and do a reflexology treatment on each other before heading to bed.
