PACKING IT UP

or when this:
turns into this:


We moved. And yes, it was entirely as hellish as one could imagine.  No matter how organized you think you are, moving out of a place after 8 years will throw your world into total chaos.  And it did.

BUT, we have some amazing friends and family and without them the day would have been 10,000 times worse.  So super big thanks go out to Eric's parents, Sue, Tim and Lauren.  They worked tirelessly for 6 hours to help us pack and lug all our junk down 3 flights of stairs.  Andrea, John and Tyler helped us unload on the other end.  And the superstar of the day was Bob.  He drove the insanely huge truck that thankfully grew 8 feet from the time of the reservation through Manhattan and got our goods safely to our new door.

** mini shout-out to Weetzie who decided to add peeing to her car ride repertoire of pooping.  she's a peach!

TIP TOE THROUGH THE TULIPS

OK.  We haven't even moved in yet, but I've decided we need this.

So pretty and yellow and on sale!  It's a little bit crafty and a little bit modern.  Something worth decorating around I think.

DEEP BREATHS

So it actually happened.  We bought a house. Lil' ol' us.  Can you believe it?  I certainly can't and that's probably why, 3 days away from the big move, my mood has been jumping from sheer excitement to sheer terror.  Deep breaths.


The closing was pretty uneventful.  Except for a little "bank's not ready" scare, we closed on time.  I didn't know what I expected a closing to be but what it is is approximately 30 minutes of signing your name and then you hemorrhage money.  Fun right?

Even more fun, packing.  Yup, that is what we do.  We pack and we tape and we purge and we pack. Mr. Eric lifts, I take anti-inflammatories.  And because packing is time consuming and tiring we decided no cooking this week.  Instead we've embarked on one last delivery tour of Greenpoint / Williamsburg!  (Maybe embarked it not the right word since we aren't leaving the house. Whatevs. Details, details.) We've covered pizza, Thai, then pizza again.  We'll round out the week with some Vegan sandwiches and possibly some Chinese food.  We shall hug all our delivery men goodbye and then we will tend to our heartburn.

The point is, we are home owners!  Yippee...Holy Crap...Yippee...Holy Crap!
