Today feels like Fall and I'm okay with that. I got up this morning and it was chilly out. Football is on. We met some friends for breakfast this morning and we have plans for dinner with friends tonight. I am ALL MOVED OUT of my house, keys turned in. I really couldn't be more thrilled with this Sunday day.
I always forget about how much work it is to move out. There is the packing, which always starts with great intentions of going through the masses of stuff amassed and getting rid of as much as possible. But by the end, I have lost patience and am just throwing stuff in boxes, no organization, just jamming stuff in and taping the box up. And then once the packing is in process/done, comes the furniture moving. Ish! I put some of my furniture up on Craigslist, hoping to have it picked up and not have to do anything with it myself. But then once people started emailing me and requesting my address, I got nervous. I don't want strangers coming into my basement house. I ended up giving people the street names, but not the address, and said the furniture would be out on the sidewalk. Pretty much got rid of everything I needed to in about 30 minutes. Awesome. And then comes the cleaning that goes along with moving. My landlord provided a checklist, and I paid for a 'task rabbit' (website where you can find someone that can help you with just about any task you have) to come help me clean. It was a long couple of days, Brian was an unbelievable trooper/helper, I am sore and bruised and tired, but I have turned my keys in and am OUT. Sigh.
Last night we went to a dance party...the same dance party that we won Best Costume for last year- last year was the Hipster theme and Brian went as Sufjan Stevens and I was Bon Iver. This year the theme was 'Stars and Stripes'...we had a little different take on the theme and did 'Stars IN Stripes', as in celebrities that went to jail...Brian was Lil Wayne and I was Lindsay Lohan. We won Best Costume again. Oh the pressure for next year's costume!
Random food note...Brian and I try to get lunch food for the week, to avoid going out to lunch too often, sometimes we get stuff for sandwiches, sometimes we get Trader Joe's frozies....well, last week we were at Target on Monday night, so I picked up some Kashi frozies for the lunch week. So Good! I mean, it isn't like a gourmet meal or anything, but for a frozen microwave meal, REALLY tasty.
