The Last House on the Left

It's official! Adams and I have moved the bulk of our stuff into the Tanager place. Last night was the 2nd night sleeping there.

My parents AND BROTHER, David! chipped in with moving the heavy stuff. Their trucks and trailer helped tremendously...it probably took about 3 hours. David was the one to notice that we are living in the last house on the left. Although technically it's the 1st house on the right.....anyway we decided we should get the movie poster...what a horrible movie though...

The last things we moved were the kitties. Linus went in the carrier with Adams and I took Winston wrapped in a towel like a kittie burrito in my car. He did really well. He meowed a bit, but chilled in the seat for the most part. They acted like we were punishing them when we let them loose in the kitchen. Strange but they both ran downstairs to Adams' music room..it had the most familiar stuff from the Bluff house. Linus is always slow to warm to new situations. He hid in the little cubby behind the amp. I think they explored while we were sleeping. Linus spent the next day either in the music room or under the bed. Winston claimed his stoop at the top of the stairs. Last night and this morning they were fighting over it. Once things finally settle down (and we stop moving things around) I think the kids will too.

We still have miscellaneous stuff at the Bluff house: my skate gear, THE CAMERA, food, and other crap. I can't wait to be finished cleaning and we haven't even begun...not my favorite activity. We should have internet at the new place sometime today. yay!

Moving days.

This has to be the most exhausting July 4th weekend I've ever had. Craftyfeast was Sunday in Columbia, a day that I have been dreading oh so long now. I have to say that it went rather smoothly. I think that if it were just my event then that would not have been the case. It was great having a group to share the nerves and all the tiny components of setup and follow through. This is going to be the beginning of a beautiful collective! I ran across several other great vendor, had awesome ice cream and custard ice, had a great time hanging out with Cola friends and even squeezed in a few fireworks on the walk to the car.

After the long day Sunday, Adams and I drove back home because we had to meet the tree guy at Tanager to make sure he cuts down the right ones. That went easier than expected and we were able to take almost 6 carloads of stuff over (two of those before lunch even!) and get a few necessities from Lowe's, our new favorite store. Tonight Adams has D&D and I have derby so moving festivities will resume tomorrow night with the help of my family. My brother has already said that "he doesn't want to, but he will." That is love right there. Family=free labor
