Gag Reflex

This weekend my parents, brother, and nephew helped me move into my house. I still have a few random things to bring over from my old place; but basically I am all moved in. I am now living in a mountain of boxes. I hate this in between phase. I can't wait to get everything put in its place. All I want to do is unpack, but I have to spend tonight cleaning the rental so that I can get back my damage deposit.

I brought Sadie over to the house last night. She is busy exploring everything. I still have paper on the floor and she must not like the feel of it because she keeps jumping over it. Last night I was so tired I forgot to give her water, so when I woke up this morning there was some kitty throw up on my new laminate flooring. I am such a bad parent. Of course I quickly realized my mistake and she is now well hydrated.

The bad new...the pig smells so bad that sometimes my gag reflex kicks in. Ugh...will it ever snow? I think a thick blanket of snow might just cover up the foul stench.

Moving

I keep telling people that I need to "pack". And of course they ask..."where are you going?". I wish! Nope no fun involved in this packing project. I getting ready to move into the house. Wish I was more excited.

Bad Things Come in 3s

1. My Nana died
2. My cousin's dog strangled on its line
3. My Grandma had a heart attack (she is going to be okay, we think)

I hope these are the 3 that count, I have had about all the bad news I can take for a while.

The Finish Line

Well, we are basically done with the house. I only had one guy flake and not get his work done. So, we have been trying to get the last little pieces put together. It is so maddening when everyone pulls together to get stuff done, and just one person drops the ball.

Hopefully everything will work out with the financial piece of things.

I plan to move in before the end of the month! Crazy.

Thank you Mom and Dad for all your hard work. I can't begin to express how thankful I am. You both went above and beyond for me. Thank you!

More pictures coming soon.

Good News

My dad talked to my next door neighbor and he said that the "pig thing" isn't working out. (Duhhh). So it looks like this will be the first and last time they try to raise a pig for meat. Hopefully they won't try a cow next.

Bad Timing

It turns out that my Nana's funeral is going to be next Tuesday in Spokane. I don't want to sound insensitive, but that was also the day of my hair appointment. It typically takes 6 weeks to get into my stylist (Yes, she is that good). Now my appointment isn't until August 16th. Ughh. Luckily, my friend A was able to take my appointment time.

As preparation for the funeral I have ordered a gift basket for the nursing home staff that took care of Nana, and also ordered a smoked turkey for the after funeral gathering.

Here is my favorite place to get gift baskets. You get more food and less packaging: http://www.peanutprinciple.com
