Before pics of the new house!!!
So my Mom arrives on Thursday evening and she says “What is wrong with the weather?” I am thinking “ What is she talking about, its always 85 degrees with the windows covered in fog from humidity at 9pm at night…oh dear she is in for a treat!”
Friday morning bright and early we go to meet the movers. (Well I have a brief dental appt – Burr meets them). They finish around 4pm that day and we continue to stare at all these boxes EVERYWHERE. Friday during the day we see our first task as trying to find sheets to wash so we can sleep there. So, yes we found the sheets – problem: the washer doesn’t actually wash anything. The washer just spits water out onto the floor and leaves all the dirt inside to mix with other sheets/towels dust….awesome. SO Burr and I spend a good bit of time attempting to find a new washer – ugh! Saturday afternoon Burr retrieves a gently used washer and it works – yeah. This means we had to spend the night in the hotel again on Friday, but at least the sheets were clean.
Saturday the movers come back to unpack us. The movers were called “Gentle Giants” and they are these huge x-football players. So watching them attempt to unpack my china/crystal very delicately was slightly unnerving, but everything was fine.
Today there are still lots of clothes and boxes to be unpacked. In the midst of everything this weekend I came to a few conclusions on my closet:
1. I am not allowed to buy anymore pink
2. I am not allowed to buy any more JEANS on sale just because they are on sale, because I inevitably hate them.
3. Summer dresses are off limits. For a LONG LONG time. Especially strapless.
4. Coats and jackets. I have approximately 1 to wear each day of the year.
Gotta run. More pics to come since the floors are redone and walls painted.
