We've moved (and Home Depot story)
We bought a 3-bedroom ranch home in August, but there was a lot of construction to deal with, and when Brian initially proposed moving the week before Christmas, I thought that was a terrible idea. Can you imagine? Dealing with Christmas decorations, the Christmas tree, purchasing and wrapping Christmas gifts, preparing the meal, oh boy! And a move on top of that?
Due to a particular harsh winter, our moving plans were postponed anyhow. So instead of moving the week before Christmas?
We moved the week before my due date. Oh yeah, because we just roll like that.
Leading up to the move, I spent the past month sorting, wrapping, packing, throwing away, or giving away the contents of our apartment. And as we boxed stuff up, Brian would pack it in the car and drive it over to our new home. So when it came to the actual moving day, it was mostly furniture and our pets (lizard, fishes, and dog); though in full disclosure, we still have 10% of stuff left behind in the apartment (mostly kitchen/pantry stuff), but we're mostly moved into our new digs.
So I'm fighting a cold, I'm 39+ weeks pregnant, we just moved over the weekend, contents of our home are in boxes, I'm not very mobile, oh, and the dog got skunked at midnight. When it rains, it pours.
Brian went to Home Depot to purchase string for our move. Conversation went something like this--
Home Depot Associate: How may I help you?
Brian: I'm looking for string.
HD Associate: What will you be using the string for?
Brian: A kidnapping.
HD Associate: You'll want nylon. The cotton won't hold. Aisle 10.
Brian: Thanks.
