Kitchen needs more gadgets, pots and pans
With the date of me flying to US approaching, the big boy has done a little more preparations for my arrival. But, the kitchen is still pretty much not functional at this stage.
We would need to get more kitchen gadgets, pots and pans in order to cook a proper meal. For him, cooking is not more than putting the frozen food into the microwave or warm up pizza in the toaster oven!
I have asked him to hold on till my arrival to purchase all the kitchen tools. Though there is kitchen products buying guide, but I don’t trust the big boy’s judgment on a territory as alien as the Mars to him. :-)
Filed under household | Comment (0)Car loan for a second car ?
Was browsing the DMV’s website to find out how to get an IL driver license when I move there next month. Looks like I would need to go for an eye test, written test and a road test to get an IL driver license!
The big boy drives a Toyota Camry that he bought from his parents when he first moved back to IL in 2006. We may have to share the car for a couple of months while we decide whether to get an auto loan to buy a second car. I tend to think a second car may not be neccesary if we could work out our schedules. Guess it will depend on the job and the locality of the job that I will be getting. We may just car pool if the hours are suitable and it is convenient to do so.

The new house that we are going to move into has no air conditioner. As the weather is getting warmer, the big boy has been talking about buying an air condition unit. We have quite a few things to get for the house and an AC unit stays at quite low in my priority chart.
However, I have been looking out too see whether there is any AC unit at the freecycle group. Yesterday, someone wants to give away one and he lives a few blocks away from our house. Perfecto! The big boy is going to pick it up this evening. See, we save money and also save the AC unit from the landfill!

The big boy found a house for us. He moved the stuffs in last week and started to sleep there this week. He also finally get around to take some pictures of the house to send me. He sent me pictures of these windows in the living room and asked what he should do with them!
Looks like the owner had all the bathroom fixtures in working condition and the previous tenants had already installed blinds for the windows in the living hall. All we have to is to get blinds or curtains for the windows in the bedrooms. But, it will probably take a few months for the big boy to get some blinds or curtains. How long do you think it will take him to finally get them ? It took him more than a month to finally order the laptop, after I have forwarded the shopping cart on Dell to him!
