Packing Outhouses and Food

September 27th. Or so we think. I won't even begin to think we can get it moved the 22nd, even though they said there was a good possibility we could. So September 27th will be the day. It seems so far away, but there is plenty to do in the meantime. Michael has started moving out, my stuff is still all packed away in the garage, and I think we're going to be moving everything up to camp next week. (Camp is where the boat is going...for those of you who don't know) During the forever until we actually get the boat, we're going to be working on our beloved outhouse. Crescent moon and all, we are going to be making an old ice shack into our bathroom. There are fish drawn all over the wall, unneeded shelves and benches, and I'm sure there are squirrels, mice, and other things I don't want to think about living in there, but we're going to get it in tip top shape in the next week and a half. We're going to make a toilet seat out of that blue insulating foam board, a friend told us that it never gets cold which makes sense I suppose. It's going to be freezing in there in the winter, so we're going to have an electric heater that we can plug in inside the boat before we go out. We're also installing a shower which will most likely be a summer only deal, unless we can figure out a crazy water system that won't freeze.

In packing news, we recently discovered that over 3/4 of our belongings are kitchen utensils, pans and baking stuff. We've tried to cut down our belongings, but considering how much we love food and cooking, everything in the kitchen is a necessity. I think we're going to have enough soup this winter to last us a lifetime, simply because the atmosphere calls for it. Soup, tea, hot coffee, hot chocolate and ice pops. Just kidding, the closest thing to ice pops in our boat will most likely be us. I think I'm going to become a master of baking sweets over the next few months. Our relationship works primarily because he cooks dinner and I make dessert. Period. He even got a legitimate wok since we both love love love any type of asian vegetable stirfry. Even if we are freezing, we will make up for that discomfort with a constant supply of delicious food. While we're on a food note, we have also been thinking a lot about trying out vegetarianism. We don't eat a lot of meat as it is, so it wouldn't be very difficult. I'll keep you posted on that one, considering my mouth is watering as we speak at a roast chicken my mom took out of the oven. Oh how I love coming home.

Anyway, that's the current update. I feel bad that I haven't written in a week, but I'll be pumping out entries when we finally have our house where it's supposed to be! Feel free to write any ideas, we would appreciate any help we could get! Also, if anyone has or knows anyone who has a small/medium sized wood stove lying around, we have been all over craigslist looking for a decent one, and it's already getting chilly out!
