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.

26 Jun 2008 Still unpacking

I still have boxes that have never been unpacked from when I moved in here over 2 years ago. I brought boxes that hadn’t been unpacked from the move before this one. I went though those boxes and threw out a lot of stuff. I found broken pencils, an old box of over the counter diet pills that expired years ago and pieces of paper with phone numbers on them but no names.

Why do we hang on to stuff like that? Oh.. I know why. We all say “maybe I’ll need that some day. I’d better hang on to it.”. That day never comes and we end up with a big mess that we end up throwing out anyway. I’ve been trying to avoid that lately. I look at things and ask myself “do I need this? Do I use it regularly? Do I know anyone who needs it? Is it valuable?”. If I answer no to these questions then out it goes. I’m tired of being a pack rat.

14 May 2008 Moving furniture
Author: Charlotte |  Category: life  | Tags: , , , , ,  | 9 Comments

I decided I wanted to move the living room furniture around a little. I haven’t moved furniture in ages. I did it! I switched the sofa and loveseat positions and now there is more room on the wall the sofa is on and I can now open the sofa bed. While that was open I tried out the bed. It’s actually comfortable and the head raises up for watching TV.

My only problem is the sofa is now too close to my computer desk and I have to move it down but the entertainment center is in the way. The entertainment center is way too heavy for me to move by myself (I tried it and couldn’t budge it). I’ll have to get hubby to help me move it. It only needs to move down about a foot. The way things are now if hubby lays on the sofa to watch TV my computer chair blocks part of the view of the TV.
