17 Days...

And Counting... *LOL* I should get one of those tickers that updates "17 days, 10 hours, 22 minutes and 4 seconds until Lys signs the lease".

But seriously... Reese called me the other night and asked "How goes the packing" to which I told her "Ummm.. 2 1/2 boxes?" and she said "That's good for today" and my response "Ummm.. no overall". I just need to light a fire under my butt right now. It's been crazy with work and all and after I got a letter from my mother on Friday (we'll not even go into that crazy mess), I just really wanted to crawl under the comforter and just hide from the world for a while. I've got 3 weeks and the moving truck will be here on the 25th, but with work developments (the business thing is getting pushed back yet again), I've got to step up the pace, just don't have the energy or willpower just yet to do so.

The Christmas stuff comes down today, the tree gets tossed tomorrow morning, and the decorations go in the pile of stuff by the dining room table that is packed. We're now at 4 boxes, thankyouverymuch, but I'm sure by the end of the week it will be stacked high. I've done more disposing of stuff and never realized how many suitcases I have. In the living room alone, I am looking at 5, there's 2 in my room and that will be good for the clothes to go on the truck, I'm guessing. Saves on Boxes, right. And, before Bec kills me, yes I got some of those Space Bags so we'll see how that goes. Space, people, Space.

My shoes are going to be the fun thing. They are all in boxes and those boxes are going to be stacked lovingly into a big box for transport. It took every iota of willpower for this gal to not go to Nine West today to pick up these shoes that would go soooo good with my black suit and nude/black lace shell.

The cat got a haircut today and she was pissed. Beyond pissed. She ripped the fur out of her back legs and haunches, and the groomer said it was fretting because of the stress of the move. Well, I guess Shadow told off the groomer and when she came out of there, she was a wet little thing; a wet little thing with a vendetta against me. So much so that the cat was headbutting and throwing temper tantrums in the middle of PetSmart because she wanted a pink scratching post (well, I don't think she knew it was pink but it had catnip) and after hearing her howl, yet again, what did I do - cave in and bought that along with 4 other toys she headbutted, a new collar for her new home and ugh. Damn cat. At least there won't be any fur in the new place and no shedding...

And in other news, I got that comforter set I was thinking about. Macy*s had a kickass sale and I wound up getting it for $70 off the price and Chandra and Lori at the Millenia Mall were soooo helpful. After the dingbat at the Florida Mall kept trying to sell me the same set that was ripped, dirty and taped up, much to my protest, I called Millenia and Chandra went above and beyond to pull the Jardin set aside, mark down the price to reflect the signage in the Florida Mall and while it was still pricey, it's the one thing I wanted for my new home and refused to settle.

And I refuse to take it out of the bag. It will stay there until after the move. Now I just have to get my new mattresses from Costco and have them delivered on the 25th/26th.

See, I am working on my list. One thing at a time...
