The great things about the move are:
- DMan and I didn't kill each other . . . yet;
- NO CONSTRUCTION NOISE!!;
- we have birds and squirrels and bunnies aplenty to watch in the yard and actual trees for shade;
- we love sipping wine in the evenings (so far we haven't started until after 5pm!) on the screened-in patio;
- I have a sitting room to escape to when DMan's baseball (and golf and Nascar) on TV are driving me crrr-azy;
- and I have my stuff in real drawers and cabinets instead of boxes and plastic tubs for the first time in months.
- we can't find things we know we packed;
- the stuff we do find, we have to find a place to put that suits both of us (which makes me wonder why we haven't killed each other yet!) and we can find room for;
- we have so much stuff we don't really need but can't seem to part with (although we have already made multiple donation runs to the Salvation Army and DAV, so there are some really good bargains to be had for you thrift store shoppers!);
- and combining two households into one is like trying to make oil and water mix during the day and sleep together at night!
We are so lucky to have a spare bedroom to pile the "I don't know what to do with this" boxes, and we so far have worked the piles down into manageable hills instead of about-to-topple-over mountains. We are mighty thankful for our new home and to have the worst of the moving crrr-aziness behind us.
The funniest thing that's happened so far is one night we met in the dark hallway, scared the crap out of each other and screamed like little girls. Lucky for us we had both just come from using the bathroom and didn't make a mess on the new carpet!
I am tickled right down to my toe rings to be back blogging and would love to see your comments, hear any funny moving stories you have to share.
Yall have a terrific "transit of Venus" day and stay crrr-azy. I know I will!
