Catching up

We're here in Florida. The house is full of boxes, but they're slo wly getting unpacked. We bought a dryer on Saturday and it's just been delivered. There's still a lot of shopping to do-shower curtain and such for the master bath (we've been using the other bath because we knew how we were going to decorate it, though we don't know what to do with the mater bath, other than that I want to set it up to use the sage green and hunter green towels I've got-the teal and light blue ones will go in the other bath.) Also a china cabinet or buffet of some sort, and new bookcases. Plus the usual things to decorate-the bedroom needs throw pillows, since we have a new comforter for the bed, but we've got beige carpet and walls and a white ceiling, with the grey comforter, so it needs a bit of spicing up.

Apparently, I've got to rethink my entire pantry scheme, to prevent pantry bugs. Keeping things in their original packages is a no; things in carboard boxes or plastic bags is out. I need to get some good containers that fit well together to store stuff.

( I complain briefely here, and propose a solution )

I'm getting used to the near daily rain, though it was unusally dry last week.


The water sucks here. It smells like sulphur, and it tastes off...though the smell is strong enough that it makes me not want to drink water. Fortunately, we installed the Brita on the sink over the weekend and it seems to kill the smell. I don't actually feel clean after a shower though, and my skin is dry and uncomfortable.

Skin Care Question

We're now in Florida, which means I've got to get even more serious about sunblock than before. (The joys of being redhaired and fair skinned.)

The water here is also drying my skin in new and exciting ways.

I can find okay moisturizers for my face with sunscreen in them, but here's what I'm wondering:

Do you know of any good body moisturizers with good sunscreen in them

Or

Do you put your sunscreen on first or your moisturizer?

Contact Info Poll

Seeing as we've just moved, and I don't know who has or needs what information, I've posted a poll.

I'll screen comments in case you want to post information you don't want disclosed, and will unscreen with your permission.
