Stories from Home: I’m finally in Sacramento

July 12, 2010 by Lori Mitchell

I’ve moved! I am living in Natomas. I found a short term rental for now, while condo shopping. I love my neighborhood, but unfortunately there just aren’t condos in my price point for sale in this area. Well, there really aren’t any condos for sale here at all. I have found a few and will seriously start looking again next week; hopefully, we won’t be undercut by cash bids again!

I have a job working for one of my oldest and dearest friends. I’m a personal assistant. It’s going to be a struggle to make ends meet for the time being, but it will get better as his business grows and I make myself invaluable to him!

Sometimes buy tadalafil cialis I feel like such a hick. I’m a small town girl living in a big city and I am loving it, although the traffic makes me a nervous wreck. I guess I will eventually get used to it. I love that the highway systems are so well planned out that I can get anywhere in the area in under half an hour.

Oh, and best part about this move…I’ve discovered IKEA. Oh my heck! It’s only about 5 minutes from my house and it is absolutely incredible. Seriously! If you have never been to one you need to find one. I’ve lived in Sacramento for two weeks today and I have been IKEA four times already! I LOVE their Swedish meatballs. Yummy!

If I get on the highway going the opposite direction from IKEA the first exit I come to is Frys Electronics. Oh my….this place is like Disneyland for geeks! I will admit that I find this store just a little overwhelming, but I did get a great deal on a router/modem thing.

If any of you are in the Sacramento Amoxil area or want to come to the Sacramento area, look me up and I’ll take to you IKEA and Frys!

The fourth of July was eventful at our place. My parents came up for a visit, and I had a great time introducing my mom to IKEA! We did have drama on the 4th though. My daughter’s dog Slingshot got out and was pretty badly hurt. He ended up with the pads torn off of all four of his paws. He looks so pitiful. However, the Animal Hospital on Bradshaw (?) in Elk Grove is absolutely awesome. They are open 24/7 and the people there are great. They were so kind and loving to Sling and his mommy. Anyway $1100 later, Slingshot will make a full recovery. In the meantime he has learned to use his injuries to his advantage and has everybody he runs across babying him and giving him attention.
