We Are Moved!

We're all moved in! Friday and Saturday were our big moving and cleaning the old apartment days. My boyfriend's brother came down to help us out and with the three manly boys (including my brother), they got to do all the hauling. I got to sit in the new place and assemble furniture (my new computer desk, a 5-shelf bookcase, and our entertainment center). I love assembling furniture. I'm sad that we didn't have more!

Everything is pretty much settled here. We have a few issues we need fixed (all our outlets are upside down and my key broke in the lock on Sunday), but overall we're very happy. All we need now are a few more pieces of furniture and to finish finding homes for all our stuff.

Pictures in a few weeks when everything is more settled!

The Bad And The Good

The Bad: The boyfriend and I went to Cedar Point today. We got there early enough to ride Maverick without too much of a wait. Rode some other stuff. Ate greasy fries and rode some more rides. I think you can guess the rest of the story. We came home early after I (ahem) got sick on Raptor (my favorite ride!). I'm still a little out of sorts, mostly just a headache. It was pretty disappointing, but life happens that way sometimes.

After dinner, my brother, mom, boyfriend and I went to Circuit City. I've been considering a new computer for a while since my laptop is nearing the point where it could spontaneously combust and I'd rather buy a computer before then so I don't just rush to the nearest store and get one. I got a new HP and it's AWESOME. It has Vista, so I have to get used to that, but so far I really like it. It's going to be very strange to have a desktop after all these years of a laptop! It's more "computer" than I need, but that's okay with me. Here's hoping it lasts till the end of optometry school!

Tomorrow I'm heading back to Columbus to finish moving out of my apartment. And I'm introducing my mom to Indian food. It ought to be fun!!

Almost moving time!

So is it weird and wrong that I'm ENJOYING packing? Because I love it. I'm also doing an obligatory "get rid of the crap I haven't used since I moved in" so that I don't carry useless shit to the new apartment (which also means clothes, though I could certainly afford to get rid of more clothes--I refuse). As far as packing, my closet is nearly empty, 2/4 cabinets are empty, my medicine cabinet is empty, 7/8 drawers are empty, and my cookbook shelf is all packed up.

I've learned that I need to keep track of the food I buy (I had 3 packages of Hormel pepperoni chilling out in my cabinet) and I need to plan to use what I buy instead of buying just "because". I'm hoping that with a group food bill with my new roommates, food will get eaten up. Such as--I buy a bag of chips and they last me FOREVER. Same with cookies, oatmeal, granola bars, 100 calorie packs, crackers, and candy. Hopefully my roommates will eat the stuff I never seem to finish (one of my roommates is a huge eater and claims he has multiple stomachs, ha!).

I'm a little annoyed that I have to wait till mid-September to move to the new place because by the time we move in, I won't remember what's in each box. I'm trying to combat that by Sharpie-ing the major contents of each one on the outside. It's nice that we have a storage unit, I can pack stuff and move it out so that I have room to pack the next round of boxes.

Basically, moving is thrilling the crap out of me. I can't wait to arrange my stuff in the new place. WHY AM I SO WEIRD?!

(For the first time in a really long time, my comforter and sheets will MATCH. That hasn't happened since I was little!)
