So the big move was supposed to happen today. Note the "supposed to happen". Yeah, it didn't. Why, because the truck company are a bunch of idiots and didn't have a truck for us. So we got 2 extra days to pack, clean and try to relax a little. So yesterday we went to Ikea and bought things. Things like furniture, which i thought my husband would NEVER EVER let me do. Yeaaaayyy baby!!!! I got an awesome dresser and tv stand!! And since they are flat packed in a box, it makes it even easier.
SO you ask, what's the catch. Yeah... i know. I asked that too.
Dun dun duuuunnnnnnnn!!!
There is a hurricane currently plugging up the gulf, heading straight for Alabama. So we are looking at rain driving down. Rain and winds for unloading. And lots and lots of upset phone calls from my mom.. UGHHhHhhhhhhh Like the one i just got. "Are you watching the weather and news??" Nope, i have no idea that we are driving into certain doom. None whatsoever. And that the day we are to unload, they are classing Issac(hurricane) a class 2 Hurricane.

I hate to wish this upon other people, but i hope it keeps moving west a little bit! The projected path has already shifted a little west from this morning's news.
I will unload in rain, up a flight of stairs. I hate the fact that i may have others helping me do this. I don't wish this on anyone. Soooooo not fun.
I have my own weather station going... so yea, i'm watching things... far better than some parents realize. And no, i don't need a lecture to add to my stress.
kthxbye

A little ventilation
Why does she have to be so damn crypt???? No i dont mind that she calls me to run a message over to my stepdad. Totally dont mind. But she tells me that sometime when shes over and im here, she needs to talk to me. I dont even bother to ask now. More than likely its to convince me moving to AL is a bad, terrible idea, that we are lazy and that the house is a disaster.
Yup.. can't wait for that.
Must pack faster

Ahh Life
So i've been home from Chautauqua, NY for about a week now. I was there at the Opera doing the crafts and millinery (and whatever alterations i could do) I only got to make one hat from scratch, but everyone one wants one now :)
I was there for 9 weeks. And man, did they fly by. We did 2 operas, 2 musical reviews and one scenes program. I'll admit, i was pretty broken by the end. Even after a week of being home, i'm still hurting. But i'm taking the good drugs, and that is helping. Chautauqua really needs to add on 3 more days, at least, to the contract. From breaking down the scenes program, to doing laundry, to putting it all away ANNNDDD packing down the show.. it was really really hard.
Now i move onto something even harder. MOVING... AGAIN! This happened the last time I was at Chautauqua. After i got home, we did a cross country move. And now we are doing it again. For good reasons though. A full time theater job doesn't come around often. So we are sorting and packing.. and sorting more. The last time we did that, we were moving from our house, which was 3 stories of stuff. Now we are moving from a smaller home, into an even smaller apt. We have to cut back sooooooo much. Sometimes its sooo hard. I look at all i've gotten rid of and i'm amazed. Then i look at all i'm keeping and just want to cry because it's still sooooo much. I don't want to live in an apartment filled with boxes. I grew up with that. I hated it. HATED It!!
I'm trying to stay positive. It's all for a good reason. Both of us will be working. If we get the cheaper apartment, we can save money like crazy. We are planning on getting a few new furniture pieces. And will be moving away from the drama that is my mother. So all good things. Just have to make it through the packing, sorting and purging process. Keep your fingers crossed for me :)
