So sinceamy_rene  started the trend, I have started thinking about what to do for my birthday too.  Mine is 2 weeks after hers!  I was thinking I would have some sort of fun with a group of friends on Saturday March 28th, followed by dinner, then off to Saturday Night Waltz in Oakland.  Very fun full day that ends with dancing - couldn't be better!  So I ( Read more... )

I got a call from EM this morning and apparently all of her furniture is being delivered tomorrow morning 8-8:30am!  I am now charged with rearranging the bits that I have in the house to the places where they will likely stay so that her furniture can be put into the places where it will likely stay.  I also need to move the plants that are on the ( Read more... )

I fucked up at work. I must have been too distracted when I booked boss #2's tickets to PHL last week. I had him and his PM flying out 2/18 and flying back 3/19 (instead of 2/19). I called the airline and was able to fix it, but for $150/person change fee ($300). I may have to plead it being taken out of my paycheck. I really dislike that most of ( Read more... )

FNW was this last weekend.  I look forward to those because I get to see friends that I don't get to see as regularly as I would like.  Part of it is the dancing and part of it is the socializing and all of it is happiness.

 EM is set to move in the weekend 2/21! That means I need to finish unpacking ASAP and get the furniture into storage.  If anyone has some free time and wants to help me move my antique table and antique sideboard (plus a couple of pieces of artwork and a few boxes) into my storage unit, please let me know.  I will rent a uhaul unless someone has a ( Read more... )

I called down to the roach place this morning.  She did get the keys that I had turned in and she is hoping to have the place rented by today or tomorrow.  Once she has it rented, I get the remaining rent back.  I will at least get my deposit back for sure.  I also had her check the mailbox.  I fixed everything with the post office to stop ( Read more... )

So we have finally finished the paperwork and EM is moving in with me once she has everything settled on her end in Texas.  I have been frantically (albeit slowly) rearranging the house to make room for her to move in.  I got all my furniture (bed, cabinets, bookshelves, dressers) into my bedroom and now I can start unpacking into it.  I am ( Read more... )

Since the original apartment that I was supposed to move into has roaches, I gave my notice that I would not be moving in.  I am in the process of trying to get at least some money back ( Read more... )

More on moving:

I get my keys tomorrow!!!  I am planning to clean the place tomorrow, then start moving the necessities in Wed and Thurs so I can live there until I move the big stuff on Saturday.

So, I am renting a uhaul on Saturday 1/10. I am picking it up at 9am and should be back to my apartment with it by 9:30. I would like to start loading the ( Read more... )

So my eye is almost all better. Yes, it appears I missed Dickens and Gaskells for nothing. Ok, so it was the right thing to do, just in case, but I am seriously upset now. Well, at least I didn't have to miss work and will get paid ( Read more... )
