I�ve been meaning to update for days (ok, hours) now and I still have no idea what to write about so, I�m open to suggestions! Feel free to leave comments on this slice or email me... To be honest there hasn�t been too terribly much going on around here but I know this is just the �calm before the storm� as school is coming to an end and then it will be time to pack up this place because we�re moving. I can�t say I�m overly thrilled at the thought of having to put everything we own into boxes so the moving guys can haul it 6 miles from here just to unpack it. And I�m definitely not looking forward to the super deep cleaning that will have to be done before we hand over the keys I�ve been carrying around for the last three years and the husband for the last four. However, I am EXTREMELY excited to be moving because, for me at least, this will really be the first time I�ll be �setting up house� and I am very much looking forward to having so much space to do this setting up in. I�ve been spending quite a bit of time sketching out where the big heavy furniture will go. I�ve gone through most of the lead in my clicky pencil and plenty of the eraser as well. I realize there are websites to help with this task but there�s something to be said for the instant gratification and emotional release of being able to throw the whole page into the garbage can while yelling profanities. My plan is to have the mover guys put the big stuff in the exactly location it will be until I get the urge to rearrange things. I don�t want them to haul stuff in just to have me change my mind about where I want it 5 minutes after they leave. The place is technically ours as of the 20th though we�ll not be moving in that day - we�ll just take over a few things that I don�t trust movers with (e.g. my plants) and then try to map out where stuff will go so we�ll be ready on the actual move-in day - a day that is yet to be determined. I�ll be sure to let you know when the move is taking place because I�ll have a valid excuse for not updating. I�ll be busy packing and cleaning followed by being busy unpacking and there will surely be at least a few days without interweb access ::GASP:: Thank goodness for cell phones and the ability to moblog... |
