Moving on, moving in, moving up.
My parents left an hour ago. I have finally been alone in my new place for a short while. I have officially turned over my old keys. I don't live there anymore.
I am drowning in a sea of cardboard and paper. This new place is shaping up to be a pretty nice little apartment! Some people like it even better than the old one, but then, they didn't live there, ya know? I think I'll like this one pretty well once it's all settled.
But there is much progress that has been made, and lots of furniture moved. And now I have buns of steel like WHOA!
Also, I need to publicly thank Shawn the Mechanic, gonzo_md, Grant, eriksdb & Shelley, Gretchen and her Eric for all of their amazing, wonderful, uncomplaining and tireless work to help me move yesterday. I don't think I'll ever hear the end of how many books I have, and why I insist on oak furniture from them, but that's fair enough, haha. Honestly, I don't think my parents and certainly not *I* by myself could have done this so well without all of my big strong men. Oh, they also got in some good laughs while watching me try to parallel park. And telling raunchy jokes with my dad. My parents were impressed as hell with all of you guys, and those of them that don't have LJ's will get this message too.
I <3 you all. I cannot thank you enough.
Pictures to come, housewarming party will be announced for a later date... how are people's schedules looking for Labor Day weekend??
Okay, am hungry, and need to attack the boxes! Where are Shelley's super-yummy cookies...?
