The joys of moving

Ugh. My manfriend and I are in the process of moving, well by process I mean we have to move out of our apartment and into a house in about 2 weeks. We are moving into his house. It's the house he bought with his ex, but that won't be weird, right? Well, I know that it will be, how could it not. I know that first day I will have to go in and deep clean everything. Just to have my peace of mind.

I've started a task list this week. It consists of me borrowing sanity, a bilingual dictionary to learn how to cuss in different languages, and to find patience and or a murder/suicide weapon. Did I mention that we have not started packing...at all. I look around and already want to cry. We have soooo much crap. It's cute, nice crap, but crap is still crap. It's going to be a long 2 weeks. Do not be alarmed if I turn to drinking, heavily.

There is an upside of moving. Shopping! We picked out a dining set a few months ago. We found a rug today. Not to mention a few awesome lamps, side tables, a few pieces of art, and to top it off, some decorative sticks.

Other things to look forward to:
No more 3 flights of stairs
Non-squealing refrigerator
Not having drunk wall sharing neighbors
MY DOGS!!!!!

Yeah, I've lived with my manfriend for nearly 2 years without my pups. I am the worst dog-mom ever. I vow to make it up. I am getting them a doggy-door so they can not only have free roam of the house but the yard too. I am going to buy them all new "babies" to play with and have the pantry stocked with all their favorite snacks: popcorn, cranberry biscuits, and greenies!

Along with my task list, I have come up with a "sly" plan to rid ourselves of a few ultra-craptastic pieces of furniture. In actuality I am going to toss them right into the dumpster, but what I am telling my manfriend is that they mysteriously fell of the moving van... We aren't going to have a moving van though, so I'm thinking that he is going to see right through my "slyness", but it is worth a shot. The things that are going to turn up falling off: 1 ugly rickety coffee table, a freebie recliner that we picked up from an old neighbor (that weighs about 500 pounds), and a life-size framed Stewie poster from Family Guy portrait.

I guess I should start coming up with a game plan in lieu of blogging, but I've got to let a little steam out or else I'll resort to the weapon for reals. I'm off to search for free boxes and some packaging tape. Wish me luck!
