D-Day

What are you doing today?  I think I’ll GO BUY A HOUSE!!!  That’s right, people.  In T minus 15 minutes I leave to go close my first house!  Chris and I are so excited we can barely speak.
I’ll be out of commission until Tuesday when the Internet Man comes to give me back my life [...]

I Found the Joy!

This morning I am home packing by myself while Chris is at work.  Which explains why I am taking the time out to blog, because no one is here to stop me and say, “Kate!  Get off the computer and help me pick up this enormously large box of your shoes!”  So this morning, I [...]

Things You Learn While Moving

There are several things I have discovered while moving these past few weeks. I thought I would share them with you in an effort to dissuade you from moving ever again in your entire life:
1.  I am a dirty person - Now, I clean as good as the next person.  I vacuum.  I wash.  I [...]

We Have Style!

Moving is the Devil.  I’m convinced.  Its about as much fun as a root canal.  Outside my window right now there is a drunk bum sleeping on a park bench.  I’d rather have him do a root canal on me than move.  So, we all understand that I can’t stand moving, right?  Good.  Lets move [...]

Moving Madness!

Send help!  I’ve been eaten alive by moving boxes!

4 days until the Big Move…

5:45 AM

What do you do at 5:45 AM?  I’ll tell you my new favorite thing to do - wake up and worry.  For some reason, my body has decided that there are not enough waking hours in the day to worry as much as I am right now, so it has started waking me up at [...]

Irreconcilable Differences

I knew this would happen one day.  I mean, we made it 3 years.  We had a good run.  I suddenly look at this person next to me that is supposed to be my partner, and I wonder how we ever had ANYTHING in common.  I mean, how can you have anything at all in [...]

Shuttles and Such

In one week I will be moving away from New Haven, and will have to begin driving to work everyday.  For the past three years, I have been lucky enough to walk to work everyday because we live so close to campus.
Okay, that’s a lie.  We do live incredibly close to campus, but at least [...]

Moving on Up

Our upstairs neighbors are having a party tonight.  They were really polite about it.  They even invited us to come.  But then they asked to borrow our coolers, so I’m fairly certain the invite was just a technicality.  But I digress.
The problem is not the party.  And its not our neighbors.  Its that its a [...]

Happy Father’s Day, Dad

There are many things that I love about my Dad - his sense of humor, his laugh, his golf tan, his relationship with my Mom, his passion for golf and a good glass of wine, his commitment to whatever it is my sister and I are doing at that moment.  But perhaps the thing that [...]
