Alright, after an extremely long weekend we are moved in & the old place is ready for the walk through.

We had done really good Sunday getting loads of stuff over after I had gotten off of work. It made Monday so much easier truck wise. We were even able to get the truck turned in a few hours earlier so one of us could be at the house for the cable guy.

Well, when we turned in the truck it became a huge hassle over the diesel fuel and it a very long story. Lets just say, we will never be using them again. And because of this we missed the cable guy. =( Luckly for us, he was nice enough to come back & was very helpful and dropped the lines where we wanted them.

Harold started to get the office some what together, I got the master bath & bedroom some what together. In the end it was an extremely exhausting day Monday where we passed out at the end.

Tuesday they started to rip out the old wood floor, so between one of us staying here and the other going back to the old place we got everything over here & started to get this organized. Unfortunately I had to head to work so I didn’t get as far as I wanted to. I was not mentally into work so it took me a bit to get into work mode.

Luckily I had today off so I finished off the old place. Harold got a good start on it for me by taking care of the vacumming. So I got the bathrooms & the kitchen done while the rug steam cleaners got the carpets done & the boy for the lawn. So there is nothing she can say about not being done for the walk through tomorrow.

Once I got done there, we some what organized our kitchen stuff & I got all of the bedroom stuff unpacked. We can’t do too much with the kitchen since they are tearing out the old beaten up cabinets and putting new ones in tomorrow. They are also putting in a new wood floor then. Once those areas are done then we can truely unpack.

Right now my brain is numb from all the stuff we have been doing……..lol

I’m here waiting to leave for work. Kind of ansty to get there & get started (I have an interview I need to do), but I’m wanting for the mail so I can go to the bank. But since we are waiting on it, it’ll mean it won’t come here in time. =( That is the norm in our lives.

Of course it has been raining, woke up to it. =( Just does not look good for moving. So we’ll have to make sure we have enough garbage bags for the electronic stuff to protect it.

We don’t have as many boxes as we first thought we had for moving from the trip down. We had cleaned out the garage a few months ago and got rid of “non-moving” boxes & just kept the moving ones since they are uniformed & it makes it easier to pack up a truck. I guess we had to get rid of more boxes then I thought cuz some of them had gotten invaded by ants. =( Before we got the place sprayed professionally. There is no doubt that we get the other place taken care of professionally, just a matter of when. I hate bugs!

We have a lawn care guy coming out to edge the sidewalks for the walk thru. We’ve taken care of the mowing and trimming (really small yard) just don’t have an edger. We also have a steam cleaner company booked for the rugs. We just want to get our deposit back in full.

Just got a call that my skirt is done, so I’m going to pick it up next Thursday after the walk thru. So that will make both Sandi and me happy, cuz then I can send her pictures. It is a really pretty burgandy & I love that color. The top is a pretty off the shoulder & black, kind of like a velvet material. I’ve always loved that look, just nervous about wearing it.

Have a good Friday.

It was a hard working, but satisfying day at work. When we have to reset the drive asile (action alley) we get a list where we pull books labeled overstock. I had made a good dent into it when I worked Sunday, had yesterday off (with thoughts of getting it done…….lol) and was able to finish it off today. So I was very happy about that, especially since when I first got to this store it was very hard to get things done by deadlines & I got this one done ahead of time…….grin

Tomorrow I will be focusing on putting away the books from the old displays so they are cleared off for the new sets. When we have to reset action alley we have about 8-10 major tables/features & about 50 smaller displays (end caps, the main ones being the 1st 25 that you see when you come in). We have just about all the end caps done, down the drive aisle & most of the features, but we are also having to set up for summer clearance & get ready for the once a year one day sale. I guess it is suppose to be huge, so we have a lot to do for Saturday.

Right now it is storming……no surprise there. We are just really hoping that it will be decent for our moving.

Hello Everyone,

Spent the weekend working. With the holiday of Father’s Day over we have to reset all the displays down the what we call the drive aisle and pull any books that they want overstocked, which can be a great blessing. =) We get our trucks on Saturdays & this one was huge cause of the reset. I just feel drained.

I called dad on Father’s Day, of course he was outside working. =) He can be so funny, said I should send him a box of band aids for as many as he goes through……lol

I packed up some of my desk stuff. There are 2 closests, bathroom & the rest of the office to do. I may not really attack it until Thrus when I have my next day off. Then next Monday is when we move. We just really want to get it done and over with, I’m getting anxious as heck.

Mom & the kids will be down on the 3rd. I’m working but I at least get to see them & so will Harold. They’ll probably spend the day in the pool……..lol We need to get a few toys for the kids.

My creative juices for my entries have not been working very well. =(

I can’t think of anything else, so I’m out of here. =)
