We're in the new place now. We moved all weekend into our house that has no hot water, barely any light, three rooms filled with more stuff than we have room for, a phone that doesn't work, paper "blinds," dry wall dust everywhere and did I mention all the stuff we have no room for? On the brighter side, we don't have three residences anymore, we have a bedroom set up as our oasis, no TV, painted walls and wireless internet connectivity.
Here's the quick recap of our weekend... Slept in until 7am, packed for a while, waited for the movers who were 4 hours late, didn't have enough boxes or tape, took 4 hours to move, lost Patrick for a while, went on a bike ride with a flat tire to find him, yelled his name like a crazy person, started panicking, looked all over for him some more, rode to the beach asking if anyone had seen a brown dog off-leash, found him in a parking garage, took him home, dropped the load off at the house, went to Audrey's, got another full truck, 15 hours later...dropped it off at the house and said they would be there the next morning at 8am.
