almost homeowners

Craziness! Three days and 15 minutes until we're signing the official papers and becoming homeowners.

I'm pumped.

Sunday we made our packing/doing stuff schedule for the next two weeks.

There's a LOT to do.

Dennis packed up all of our vases, candles, miscellaneous decorative things, and everything in the "china cabinet" yesterday. He also cleaned out the nasty underneath of the stovetop - all the gross grease drippings and that business. That was so so appreciated.

This morning he took apart our big bookshelf (from IKEA - it rules the world!). And this afternoon Dandy is going to the groomer for a little rear shave. (For those of you without long-haired cats, the hair on the rear end needs to be shaved every now and then to lessen the possibility/frequency of what we affectionately call "cling-ons".)

Today's packing/doing things consists of packing the rest of the stuff in my closet, calling to schedule internet hookup for the day before we move in...and there must be something else.

Coming soon - photo diary of everything I'm going to miss about the apartment.

Hasta la pasta!

packing

We've almost run out of things to pack already. After finishing up with books, CDs, guitar magazines, craft supplies, photographs and art - we're set for now. I guess next will be the contents of the China cabinet (capitalized because it's a cabinet from China - it doesn't hold china in the lowercase sense).
For our next feat, we'll need some assistance - in the form of newspaper from the basement recycling bins at work. I'll dig through tomorrow morning and send Dennis home with a box full.

Then we'll just have dishes, clothing, tools, and the cats left to pack.

Did I mention that I'm bored with moving already...?
