Still going....

MiLove and I keep adding to the list. Here is our major dilemma. We need to forward our mail...but we don't have an official address yet. We are researching get our mail forwarded to a post office in COS, holding the mail, then when we get an address we start sending it there??? We have never dealt with this before. We usually move from door-door...hmmm, still thinking on that one. I guess if there is a dilemma to have that would be it.


All hotels have been reserved!!! Yowza it is expensive around here. Hotels are 2-3x the price here-for the same type of room.  Now that I think of it, everything here is 3x the price as AL and 2x the price of CO!


Ok, I got sidetracked.  13 DAYS until the packers get here!!! It doesn't look like we have done a lot around here, but I have really been purging. Girls room-almost done, just need to purge Julia's bookshelf--my pack rat. Playroom purged and good stuff set aside for yard sale. Jacob has purged his room, however a quick walk thru wouldn't hurt. Last night I pulled MiLove and Middle J aside and asked them to not do this:
do not ask me "are you sure we shouldn't keep this, really you want to sell this, really you want to give this away?"  They promised they wouldn't and I am holding them to it. I am taking the Elle approach and getting rid of "stuff". Moving is the best way to do this.

I had a freak out session the other day. Elle caught me in the middle of it via text. All that matters is that session is done, I am more @ peace today. Turns out I have to ask MiLove for help??? He is willing to help, but has not idea what to do. I actually make him a list and he LOVES it. It is my "honeydo/do it now/do this or pay the consequences" list.  He has never complained about it! For that I am thankful today.  My next dilemma is I am selling this ginormous desk. It was a hand-me-down from the broinlaw. It does not suit me. It has a drawer, so I cannot sit up high enough, therefore my shoulder sags..blah, blah.  I have a beauty of a "work table" in mind from crate/barrel. I have also found work tables with adjustable legs!!! What a concept for a girl that has a freakishly long body and stubby legs!  Elle, anybody have any ideas for a desk that isn't a gazillion dollars? Gotta run and purge the bookshelf. Here is something that is making me dream sweet dreams--even in the daytime!
Did you know that there are tubs that have different lengths?  MiLove surprised me with a 6ft length tub! I feel so spoiled!  I haven't had a chance to take an actual bath for over 2 years We have a very scarey dark brown tub that does not hold water here....I think the Js will end up using this more than me...but I will keep dreaming :)
