Flakes

Well...we're all moved into our new apartment. Kind of. We call it home, and Bubba corrects us that it's not home; it's our new apartment. There's still boxes everywhere and junk piled up on every surface, but it's not from lack of trying. We've been slowly (but surely) emptying our 10x10x10 storage unit into our living room (and bedrooms and office and...). We're almost there.

We've decided to sell (or donate) all of our garage-type stuff that would have to be stored in a storage unit. We priced out those things, and at $65 a month (minimum - for the smallest one), we could replace all of the stuff IN the unit w/in a year for the cost of storing it. Bummer. After this move, though, I'm not in any hurry to do it again next May. We should probably go ahead and sign on for another year now, before they jack up rent on us.

We've also put up half of our belongings on craigs list. Actually, just the big items that we want to get rid of: Scooter's bed, Bubba's crib, etc. We've had 4 or 5 people "extremely interested" in the crib, arranged times for them to look at it, only to have them completely not show up. But I'm hopeful that the crib and the bed will be gone by Monday.

We've been busy unpacking boxes and hanging up pictures. It's almost like a real home, now. All that's left (besides about 15 more boxes and a TON of organizing) is Scooter. Once she's back here (in 7 more weeks), this really will feel like home.
