Happy Moving Day!

Saturday is the big day. I have been busy packing. Note: I am not saying that I am the only one packing, but it seems that way. I went out today to find a shower curtain that will match the towels that we had on our registry at Kohls. That was a chore. I found one that was pretty close. The only thing is that the curtain also has purple in it. I really wanted to get the purple rugs, but I have to run it by Josh first. Also I am not sure what size to get yet.

The thing that really sucks is that we just re-arranged the cupboards after the wedding. Now we have to pack those all up and do it all again. That is what I am dreading. I am also dreading laundry. My plan is to do laundry tonight. What I really wanted to do wash everything before it is packed. The only towels as of current that are dirty are the ones that we use daily. The bedding is the next big chore. I have to strip the twin bed and wash that. We washed all of the blankets a while ago and stored them. I will have to see if they are ok. I need to wash the blankets that we keep in the living room and the couch cover and all of that good stuff. I started the kitchen packing last night. I think that room is the hardest. You don't really think that you have a lot of stuff until you start to open cupboards. Pretty soon we will have 3 boxes of kitchen appliances alone. Then there are all of the dishes. I pulled out the picnicware last night. I put every dirty dish into the dishwasher and washed it. That way they would all be clean, dry and ready to be packed tonight. Oh how much fun this is!!!!

Dread

For some reason I have been dreading my blog. Don't ask me why. Is it because I am using all of my energy to move and don't want to take the energy to think. I actually used the thinking energy for this week last week. Our yearly self assessments were to be done by Friday the 14th. Well, last Wednesday(the 5th) our acting manager told us that our self assessments were pushed up to be due on the 7th. For those of you who struggle with math that is a week. 7 whole days. I had this energy set aside to do my assessment this week. So on Friday I spent the WHOLE day working on my self assessment. Why didn't you work on it Thursday you ask? I stayed home Thursday we got quite a bit of snow and I didn't feel like putting my life in that hands of the crazys on the road. So I toiled and struggled with the right words. Wanting to make myself sound like a great asset without being arrogant. My husband will tell you I can put myself down until I am blue in the face. I am one of the best self bashers in the world. When I am required to write something good about myself I struggle. I don't' know why. I do know why, I have low self-esteem. I don't consider myself a pessimist but I often look at the bad side of things. I am not as bad as Josh. But, this isn't good. So anyway, babbling aside I got my self assessment done, my boss hasn't told me that I was way off base. I found the good to talk about. Hopefully that gives me a good raise.

A Place of Our Own

Well we have found it! We found a beautiful 2 bedroom/2 bath and 2 car garage. There is a washer/dryer combo. OMG a FIREPLACE!!!!! I LOVE IT!! I am actually getting excited about this move. It has taken a little while. I think that it was the dread of actually moving and finding a place. Now that is done and we can focus on the other things. Yeah!!!! If you cannot tell I am excited!!!

Anyway! Work is really dead this week. Most people are gone. I think I will remember that for next year. I also think that I am coming down with my annual sickness. I have a sore throat and have been coughing a lot! Just in time to take it up north to Josh's family. ;)

A New Look

I decided that it was time for an update. I am one of those people who get bored. I really like to re-arrange the furniture in our home. I do not do this frequently but enough so that I keep my mind "stimulated". So in the spirit of keeping things interesting. I have redesigned. Not too much just a new color scheme. I was getting tired of the pink. Let me know what you think!!!

The Christmas Haul!

We had a GREAT Christmas this year. I don't think that there was one gift received that we didn't like. We got so much AWESOME stuff!!!! We received luggage, games, card table and chairs, a knife block(my favorite gift), a salad spinner, a nativity set and clothes and stuff.

We really didn't open too many things because we are moving soon. We don't know where yet. We are looking at 2 more places tonight and then we are making a decision. We really want to have a decision so we can plan to move.

We have one more Christmas to celebrate.
