To quote Tom Green, moving is like "pulling a 10 lb roast out of my ass with a plastic fork."
As I write this, my Mac is sitting on the coffee table of my new place, and everything is cluttered. I still have a free-candy van load of more belongings back at my old place I need to fetch, as well we're still trying to clear space for all of our junk in this small apartment. I unloaded a box full of shoes and bags upon bags of clothing at the Value Village just down the road from us this past week, so I better not go shopping there for a while or I may end up buying stuff back.
The move is a slow process, as it's mainly Raimund and I moving stuff in after work and staying up until 11 pm or so unpacking and organizing. This has been the routine for a week now, and I'm hoping it'll be all over soon. I'm pooped.
The good thing about all of this, though, is the location. I'm steps away from sushi (SCORE) and the river valley is at my front steps. Oh, and I FINALLY have a balcony! The balcony is currently inhabited by a small family of pigeons, and seeing as they're behind on rent cheques, we plan to evict them soon.
My cameras and knick-knacks are unpacked for the most part, so it's starting to feel like home. And that's the main thing, right?
Besides all this kerfuffle, I'm excited for July. Plans are to take a road trip to Saskatchewan, as well I hope to launch ze new blawg on Sunday. Will we make it? We'll see.
Anywho, I should wrap this post up. Those closets aren't going to clean themselves. >:O
Ciao bellas!

WHERE IN SASKATCHEWAN?
Moving is SUCH an effort! Last year, I ended up living in four different places, moving my stuff between them was a nightmare. My current housemate was amazed at how much 'stuff' I owned! x
OMG free candy van. Your knack for description is awesome. Good luck with the move! I hope your little boy is excited about his new place, too!
Wow, you are one busy lady! I too hate moving, but I cannot wait to find a new house and finally have a place of our own. I know I will hate moving, but hopefully that will give us the opportunity to de-clutter our lives.
I can't wait to see the new blog! I know it will be awesome, just like you!
Moving can be such a bitch but I don't mind it as much, everything is all new to me! :) Can't wait until Sunday!
i hate moving too.
i moved three months ago and i still seem to be sorting things out.
at the moment i am just piling up all the bits and pieces i don't know where to put and moving them from room to room--not exactly productive ;)
Gah, moving IS the worst! I have to do it too at the end of August =/ LAME. Good luck to you though, I am sure it will all be okay :) xox
Oh I absolutely HATE moving!
I've moved 10 times in the past 6 years (filling out forms with a five-year address history is a nightmare!).
Hopefully, I won't have to move again for a good few years... I still haven't unpacked fully from our last move in December!
