moving...the saga continues on day 2

Today was the final day with my belongings..at least for a week or so. At 8:00 this morning, the car carrier arrived on Oakland Circle to take the green machine for a ride. My favorite part of the car carrier experience was when he brought me back the car damage sheet and I could hardly find any spot on the car diagram that didn't have marks, scratches, or dents he pointed out. Made me wonder, for a split second, if I should have just sold and bought something new! Then I stapped back to reality...paid for! The car took its position on the top of the carrier...and it was chained down. They left..I waved goodbye...I didn't cry...

A little later, the movers showed up and it took them what seemed like forever. I watched as my boxes, sofa, and everything else I own was loaded onto the truck. He told me my stuff would arrive Thursday or Friday. I can rough it until then!

I waved good bye to my stuff...and still didn't cry... I then put on my coat and walked to Chez Lanclos.

Just 4 more days!

Moving...day 1

Its amazing how quickly all of my belongings were packed into cardboard boxes! It took about 2 and a half hours...thats it! It would have taken me a month..and I would have complained the whole time.

Hopefully they haven't packed anything that I need...or I am seriously screwed! So..this is one part down. Tomorrow the car people come and get the green machine...and then they come and take my $700 cardboard collection. Guess I'd better get a good nights sleep! Yikes..won't be sleeping there. Thankfully I have reserved a room at Chez Lanclos.

Its beginning to look a lot like...April 11th????

I was reminded this morning, sometimes it can snow in April..and even May in the Chicagoland area. I just hoped it wouldn't do it this year...at least until after I had moved to Texas!

It really is hardly any snow in the snow fall reality of Chicago...but still! I'd expect to be wearing my short pants by this time..not sweaters. Spring??? have you gotten lost???

BeDazzler!

I was just catching up on my favorite Blog where Laurie has pointed out a major issue with fashion for anyone over a size 14...when I was really struck by a comment made about the bedazzler! (make sure to turn your volume down before clicking the link - if you so dare - as Tana..I know her name because its been bedazzled right across the front of her shirt...is REALLY loud). You've all seen the commercial on tv..and I am really hoping that no one I know has ever bought one of these things!

I can't believe people really wear this stuff..but they must. When Sarah and I were walking through Nordstroms on Thursday...we came across some Bedazzled wear in the ladies department! Shocking! At the time I couldn't think of the name of the "wearable art tool" that you just know some poor women in a third world country are probably using to make these crazy items!

coasters

Sometimes I think I have to be the biggest nerd in the world! I was at the mall last night with Sarah and we went into this funny card store. If you know me, you know I can't resist a funny card store.

While browsing, we came across these funny coasters..and I couldn't resist.

This one says:

maureen, he's everything i've ever wanted in a man...tall, dark and on top of me

This one is my favorite..I think you'll quickly see why...

ladies, i will not stand here and let you talk abut charlene like that, even though we all know she gets more ass than a toilet seat.

There are 3 more..but you'll have to visit me to see them....
