Melanie ~ look at me with starry eyes...

Tim let me sleep in till after 11 this morning, I can't believe I slept that late. Only reason I woke up is that he crawled back into bed with me. My ears/jaw/throat hurt, but the sinus pressure is not nearly as bad as it has been. After a week of this, I think the cold might be on its way out.

We hired someone for Tuesday, to help us move. I feel so relieved.

We will probably do a few more loads of boxes today, it's actually starting to look more empty in here. I couldn't believe how many boxes went over and it still looked like a full apartment! Over the next year we'll need to buy some good bookshelves and things for storage.


My wishlist for the new house:

soonish
- lawnmower (will probably buy today)
- IKEA pantry (a necessity, bigger house with way less cupboard space..)
- IKEA hutch for wall in living room (expensive b'day present, but I'd take it ;) )
- new dishes, probably fiestaware
- new gas grill for Tim
- medicine cabinets with mirrors for bathrooms, replace mirrors
- fitted blinds
- new glasses/mugs

future
- new doors for bedrooms
- new back door to laundry room (don't like the big window)
- change electric stove to gas stove (we think the fittings are there)
- new kitchen cabinets (kind of cheap boring ones in there now)
- paint (will need to putty and sand walls)
- vegetable garden
- fill for back yard, uneven
- big flower gardens in front of house
- big awesome bedroom furniture and new bedding
- baby bedroom (heh)
- new dark wood rectangle kitchen table
- leather couches for upstairs living room

I think that's enough for now ;)

Almost all my Christmas presents are wrapped.

Weird.

For my sanity
( New calendar: )

Today was a bit on the rough side. My lower back was in so much pain by the time I left work, I could barely walk. I have no idea why it's so bad. Hopefully massage tomorrow will help. I iced it tonight at my parent's house, but it made it feel worse.

People are grumpy. I had a few try to rip my head off about various things, but honestly, I'm leaving and I have no patience for that garbage. I am not taking people's shit. Client or not, there is no reason to be rude to me and I will make you feel like an ass, without me looking like an ass, if you treat me badly. I had a guy be a complete jerk to my trainee, and me, the other day and he walked away looking and hopefully feeling like the idiot in the situation. I can be the nicest person, but don't push me or I will push back. It's the red hair.. I can't help it.

My life is boxes boxes boxes right now.

I turned my heat on for the first time tonight.

I need to go to bed!

I'm selling some things on ebay.. I haven't had much luck in the past, but maybe this time! I have a ton of stuff I could sell on there, but I hate selling bulky things.

I was invited to go boating today, but didn't take up the offer. I feel really motivated to keep dejunking here. I've put a bunch of clothes in a pile for the thrift store, and have a huge pile of too big clothes to go the the consignment store, unless I get brave and put it on ebay. Ebay is a lot of work!!

I have two full bins of stuff for a garage sale, so I think I'll do that the weekend after the wedding.

I was looking around on ebay and people actually sell their broken cameras. I see a canon elph going for 20 bucks so far, and it has a broken screen. I have two of those. Maybe I'll stick those on for 99 cents and see where they go.

I also listed one of my vintage dressers on Craigslist. I'm a selling machine!!
Now I'm off to have sushi with Ryan. Mm.. delicious sushi. (I am going to have to curb the eating out! Too much money!!)
