Move update

"Garage sale" is being zilched from my vocabulary starting right now...

What an exhausting day - and that's an understatement!!! We obviously had our garage sale today, and you wouldn't believe how these things happen here... I imagine they're the same everywhere, but I like to think that we're the "special ones", you know? :-) The folks that are called "early-birds" are more like VULTURES! And mean, grumpy ones at that. Those people should NOT be allowed to get out of bed that early in the morning.

Life is happening at lightening speed. I have some pictures that I really need to upload from last weekend - maybe I'll get to that tonight...?

We now have very little left in our big house... just enough to live on. Well, almost. I packed up the silverware the other day, right before realizing we might need those to eat with for awhile? Anyhow, we're enjoying the luxuries of plasticware now! (and I'm enjoying the new workload of dishes!)

We've started the packing process very methodically and organized. Red dots go on the boxes that will be stored, and green dots on the boxes that will go to our apartment, with lots of labeling on the outside. I imagine most of that organization will go out the window when our move date (which is still TBD - probably early June) gets closer.

We still need to find a place to live there - which I'm finding quite difficult since we won't have the chance to look at places before we go! So far it's kind of like the "close-your-eyes-and-point-at-one" method of choosing. We also still need to find a place to store all of our stuff. I'm quickly learning to appreciate accumulating only the dire necessities. Not only because it means less to pack, but also less to store! And storage in DC is $$$$$!

Ok, enough rambling for now. Sorry to be such a boring blogger these days. I'm hoping to pick back up once we get there (since I'll have ALL kinds of free time!).

Adios - have a lovely Sunday & week.
