Evil rain
The sky keeps on pouring it's heart on out. I don't think the rain has stopped since it started at o'dark thirty this morning. It makes me all tired and want to be home, but alas, we work today!
This weekend I really started packing all the knick knackys up. We bought two rolls of bubble wrap and a tape gun. The Great Migration of 2006 has begun folkies! After going through the 25 ft long (each) bubble wraps, I realize that we are going to need a whole lot more to pack up the house. The good thing is I'm not as worried about all the little stuff breaking now that I've discovered the beauty that is plastic bubbles filled with air. I had started to think how silly it was to buy rolls upon rolls of this stuff for packing, but than I thought about the price of the roll versus the price of replacing anything should it break, and well, the rolls won. Jamers is on a mission today to go get much larger rolls at a storage facility so that we can continue packing a little bit more everyday. Although we both can and have obtained boxes from workplaces, I think we are actually going to need to buy some as well. I don't know though, James does work at a printers and they do go through quite a bit of paper, which means lots and lots of good sturdy paperboxes.
One part of me is sorta looking forward to the next couple of months and part of me is terrified. The excited part is looking at new things, changes, good things coming down the road, and is curious as all heck to see how well things will end up working. The terrified part sees only catastrophe and expense and is worried that the timing will be all screwed up and the move will be a disaster. Funny I keep flip flopping about how I feel. Right now, I'm pretty excited. Woot!
We had a horrible experience at Rosie McCann's yesterday at brunch. The service was the worst I think I've had in Santa Cruz, and that is saying alot! The food was under and over cooked and wrong and missing vital pieces. I'm not getting into the whole shibang of it, but suffice to say, Jamers and I will not be going back.
Tonight I'm going to pick up my mom after work and take her grocery shopping. She is going to be making a Thanksgiving dinner for us on Wednesday! We were both sad about not having Turkey day together, so I offered to buy if she would do all the work, and she agreed! So we get all the yummy Turkey day stuff this week. I'm so excited!
Hopefully at that time we'll be able to address moving to Portland with mom and she'll be able to talk about it. I understand her worries and fears, but at the same time I feel frustrated that she won't talk about it, well yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Anyhow I'm sure other mundane stuff has happened to me, but that pretty much wraps up my immediate brain thoughts. I hope that the New Year is not only exciting, but that for one year, the goody thing outway the poopy things.
