Ok, today is actually moving day. So far, I have watched The Hot Chick, Will and Grace, I Love Lucy, and Reba. As you can imagine, there has not been a whole lot of moving going on. I've bid farewell to three roommates; just three more to go. I made some delicious scramwiches (scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon on toast) for Ashley and myself, and Ashley has done some laundry.
On a side note, I don't like the idea of a bear using toilet paper. (Commercials.)
Yesterday's unpacking/repacking session went well. I think we have come to terms that we will be starting out with pretty much nothing. The yard sale days helped get rid of a bunch of stuff, but the unpacking of yesterday pretty much filled the room back up. We're just leaving it all with the roommates. They will be having a yard sale soon, so hopefully they can get some more money from our stuff. We're leaving behind all the craft stuff--beads, felt, paper craft, sewing machine, and so much more! Also included in the abandoned stuff: all storage bins, shelves, etc.; every piece of kitchen stuff, such as the toaster oven, the Snoopy waffle maker, the silicon spatula, brand new pizza pans, pink skillet set, etc.; the record player; the books from the 1800s; the stockpile of toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, soap, shaving cream, lotion, toothpaste, etc. And etc., etc., etc.
I'm starting to get used to--and maybe even a little bit excited by--the idea that we're replacing everything. I think it will be quite an adventure. Between Freecycle, extreme couponing, garage sales, and my knack for finding a deal, I think we can do it. I think so.
