- And a basement
- Finish installing a garage door opener - again.
- Replace a storm window that broke in.. heh… a storm.
- Replace a light switch plate that mysteriously cracked in half
- Figure out why the fuck this house is trying to kill me. Now.
- Get my hair cut
- Go to post office and tell everyone my new address! Yay! In a “community! Yay! (Do you think you can get that on address labels??)
- Order address labels
- Get the last of the “junk” out of old house that I’m already not living in.
- Change my address at the bank
- Clean car - first must find dumpster large enough to hold contents of hideously disgusting SUV.
- Get oil changed, lights replaced, etc. etc. etc.
- Wonder why I am constantly replacing headlights, tail lights, turn signal light thingies, etc.
- Confirm reservation and availability of Biggest Fucking Truck You Got with U-Haul, who I have strangely heard nada from
- Maybe, perhaps, hopefully, have time for a few “good byes”

I am constantly replacing tail lights, fog lights and turn signal thingies on my SUV. Until my dealer informed me of a recall for some lighting harness thingy. They replaced it and tra-la….no more money being spent on new bulbs. Which means…more money for new SHOES!!
Um..yeah…good luck with all you have to do. I may be insanely jealous of the new house and the new life, but not so much with the packing and the stress that you’re under.

Britt, do you think that if you took some artsy, maybe black and white pics of your boobs and had them matted and framed for Adam to hang in his office - that he would stop begging you for flashes?
Me neither.

At least in your new house you won’t have to worry about a basement but where will you put all your old basement stuff? In the garage. Everything goes in the garage. :buff:
July 27th, 2007 at 11:59 am
You are only gonna need about 10 days for all that…. So you will have 3 days to collect your sanity before driving a couple of thousand miles…..
July 27th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
So how do light switch covers crack in half?! I had that happen to me once too. :confused: :unsure:
July 27th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
That’s a difficult list to accomplish? Wimp.
(I kid, I kid. Have a great weekend.)
July 27th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
Don’t forget to add… - panic at the the very last minute because you left so many of these things till, well, the last minute - to your list.
July 27th, 2007 at 2:23 pm
Kellie: Hmmm… I wonder if that’s what’s up with my SUV.
Add it to the list.
avitable: I don’t think the bank people would appreciate my boob juice on their money.
teebopop: most of that is already done. Except for the “purchase road trip supplies” - which I do need to do, you’re right.
And I kind of hate you for it. :-)
AmyD: I sent him some in neon and that only made things worse.
Peggy: yeah, I’m kind of freaked about the lack of basement storage.
themuttprincess: that’s kind of what Im hoping :-)
Brandi: no one in this house seems to know. STRANGEST thing…
QofD: I’m mentally stabbing you now you know.
Jasmine: I usually panic beforehand, make a plan, panic some more, and then get to it. By the last minute I’m a picture of serenity.
:dazed:
July 27th, 2007 at 2:38 pm
I happen to know that banks love boob juice.
July 27th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
Hey, Did you know you could skip that whole going to the post office……….do it online! Wish I was closer because surely I would help!
July 27th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
I know. I have done what you are doing before… Kinda…
It will all happen. No worries!!!
July 27th, 2007 at 4:10 pm
“Figure out why the fuck this house is trying to kill me. Now.”
Have you checked the history of the lot, looking specifically to see if it was once a cemetery or some such?
July 27th, 2007 at 7:05 pm
I hope once you are down here and settled the Mrs. and I can meet you guys.
July 27th, 2007 at 7:44 pm
Hey, I thought of this helpful hint while soaking in the hot tub: use items in linen closet to pack breakables in the kitchen. Or use medical exam paper for breakables in kitchen. Oh wait, no I have never borrowed exam paper from work for any of my 5 moves. Nope, not me.
:whistle:
July 27th, 2007 at 7:55 pm
avitable:
a) that’s sperm
b) it’s not that kind of bank
themuttprincess: I need to just keeping saying that over and over again - no worries, no worries
Why do I feel like smoking weed now?
Joe the Troll: after my last experience, I’m trying to avoid doing extensive research on my house at all costs.
Mr. Fabulous: me too! You’ll love my husband! Such a cute girlie butt on that one.
Wicked H: HA HA HA HA HA HA
I just keep thinking about getting to soak in my new jacuzzi. Exactly two weeks from right this moment I hope I’ll be doing just that.
July 27th, 2007 at 9:26 pm
just remember…palmetto bugs love the glue in the seams of boxes…don’t use boxes with glue…silver fish love anything in paper…don’t use paper products to pack. FYI in Florida…do not put any Christmas decorations that are sensitive to heat in the attic….anything plastic..snowglobes..NO NO NO
It is florida..throw all your stuff in the back of the truck and move…fly the children ahead to Adam….or not…and file a claim with your employer for any loss you receive (what kind of life insurance do you have on the children??)
July 27th, 2007 at 11:04 pm
I’m completely jealous that you’re moving to Florida. Yet, in the same breath, I’m not at all jealous that you’re moving…
Its easier to pack with a buzz, right?
July 27th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
Hey…we live on the Gulf Coast Miss Britt..we have a pool , tiki bar…booze…I have new boobies…
July 28th, 2007 at 12:04 am
Eww boob juice. Eww! :yuck:
July 28th, 2007 at 10:41 am
Wow, thats a huge job list!
Bet you’re horrified about being one of Avi’s slaves! haha!
July 28th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
O-M-G!!!! I thought you were super cool before, but now…! I can’t believe it!! You got juice in your boobs?!! That is so freakin awesome! Are they both the same or is one like apple juice and the other Florida Orange Juice? Sheesh No wonder Avi always wants to see them. I mean if you stood behind a guy at the computer it would be like wearing one of those beer hats… only with juice! ..you don’t have a body part that dispenses hot pockets do you? OMG you are like proof of evolution!! You are too cool!!
July 28th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
Trish K: you should write a book!
Sheila: a slight buzz is the key!
Brandi: jeez, I didn’t get any on you did I??
Sarcastica: I’m going to be slave master!
Y2K: actually, it’s a chardonnay.
July 29th, 2007 at 8:15 am
We rented the biggest fucking truck U-Haul has and then ended up having to rent a second truck.
At the last minute. The day we were already supposed to be out of the old house.
Moving sucks ass.
July 29th, 2007 at 2:06 pm
Y2K: actually, it’s a chardonnay.
That’s good to know, because the mandatory next question from anybody from Oklahoma has to be, “Are they WIC approved?”
