09 Dec 2010 The things you find….
Author:  |  Category: life  | Tags: , , , , , , ,  | Comments off

The things you find when you pack to move. In the many moves I’ve done I’ve found some odd things like a receipt showing that cigarettes cost around 30 cents a pack (that was in the late 60′s), old newspapers showing ads for clothing and stuff. I was so surprised at the prices. I saw a dress for $2.50.

I’ve also found old receipts, old cell phones and some samsung cell phone batteries (hubby used to have a Samsung cell phone). When my kids were younger I’d find trash in their boxes that they packed, broken toys and stuff that just should have been thrown out.

I’ve learned to throw out things before packing so I don’t have to throw stuff out when I unpack.

08 Dec 2010 Everything is ready

Everything is ready for the move. I got the utilities ready to be set up for the new place. I don’t have to worry about changing hosting, thank goodness. I could switch that, if I wanted to, to a company that has pci hosting but I like the company I have now.

We just have a few more things to pack, mostly kitchen stuff and we’ll be done. We left a few plates and silverware out, along with some pots and pans, so we can eat meals. Everything else either is or will be packed up today.

It seemed like we had more stuff than what we actually have because my sister-in-law left a lot of stuff here. We won’t have many boxes at all and only a few pieces of furniture to move.

06 Dec 2010 Here we go…

Moving time again and Saturday is the day. We’re busy packing what little stuff we have for the move. We’ll have a sofa, coffee table, chair, bed and a couple of tv stands plus some boxes to move.

Because of financial reasons all of my things are STILL in storage where they have been for over a year now. I really miss my stuff. Andi will say she needs something and I always end up saying that I have whatever it is but it’s in storage.

I have just one set of sheets for my bed because I don’t want to and can’t afford to buy any extras and the others I do have are in storage.

I need to either find a job (no luck with that one) or find a way to make a decent amount of money working from home (without falling for scams). I just hate living this way… it’s depressing and that’s not a good thing.

22 Jun 2010 Yard sale and a little help please
Author:  |  Category: family  | Tags: , , , , , , ,  | Comments off

My sister-in-law had a yard sale on Saturday. She had a lot to sell too. She had furniture, some promotional tote bags from the casinos, housewares, knick knacks and a lot of other stuff. Most of it ended going back in the garage because not a lot of people showed up.

She had it advertised in the paper and on Craig’s list too. She had signs all over the place. It was kind of busy in the morning but once it hit noon there weren’t many customers after that. She was going to keep it open until 2 pm but because it was so slow she closed early. She made over $100 though.

She found a new place to move to and is supposed to move the 1st week in July and sometime after that I’ll be moving in there with Andi, Drew, the baby and Drew’s dad. We just have to get the storage fees paid off and come up with the money for the movers.

If anyone would like to help out and donate something towards getting my furniture moved to my new home I’ll really love you forever! There is a donate button in my sidebar at the top. Any amount will help out greatly. I really hate asking but I’m in a bind here and need to get out of this camper as soon as possible. Thank you!

16 May 2010 Plans change

We were going to get a place with Andi, Drew and the baby but that has changed. Andi is going into the reserves and will be moving about 45 minutes away to be close to where she’ll be stationed. So now we are looking at apartments instead of townhouses.

I really wanted a townhouse because it has a second floor, where the bedrooms are, and the stairs would have made great fat burners especially while getting things unpacked and put away. Last week we took a look around at the complex the apartments and townhouses are in and it looks like a really nice place to live. The apartments are only 2 stories high and if we get one on the second floor we won’t have banging and stomping over our head like we did at the last place.

Benton (Jake, Booger, Boog – he has many names) is growing like a weed. He’s almost 20 lbs, 8 months old and 28 inches tall (I think). He crawls like a speed demon and runs around in his walker (that looks like a jeep). He pulls himself up and climbs the stairs. He can hold on with just one hand and almost stands by himself.

They have been away in Pennsylvania for the past couple days so I don’t know what new thing the boy has learned while he’s been gone. I’m going to miss him like crazy when they move away. I’m so used to seeing him just about every day. It’s going to be strange.

If this winter keeps going the way it has been then hubby and I might be able to move out of this camper soon! I know one thing I need to go shopping for is entertainment centers. Our old one is huge and takes up way too much room. We really don’t need one that big. It’s over 20 years old and just needs to go.

I’d also like to get some nicer living room furniture. The stuff we have I found in the newspaper used. It’s ok but it’s white and it didn’t take long to get dirty. I’d love to get a micro-suede set. They are just so soft and comfortable. That’s what Andi had and I had at my place while she was in Iraq the 1st time. I hated giving that back up to her.

Now all I need to do is find a job and life will be great again.

28 Aug 2009 Let the packing begin

We haven’t found a new place to move to yet but I started packing this morning. I figured I should start packing up stuff that I know I won’t be using for awhile.

I have a few boxes and decided to start on my clutter china cabinet. I had the door opened and was taking stuff out, wrapping it and putting it into a box when JoJo jumped up and started taking a stroll through the cabinet… meowing the whole time. If my batteries, for my camera, had been charged I would have taken a picture.

That cabinet hasn’t been opened since I got JoJo so I guess she was curious as to what was in there.. She’s such a goofball.

I heard from Andi this morning too and her and the baby are doing fine and could possibly be going home tomorrow.
