Annoying Little Lucy

(from my flickr) Sometimes, Lucy decides she wants attention. Sometimes, she can’t be bothered to wait for me to give it to her, so she’ll TAKE it. Here she is, standing on my lap as I try to type on the computer.

Silly cat.

Space Bags OMG (Picture)

OK, so today, I sold my two laundry baskets of books and got $30. Armed with a 20% off coupon for Bed, Bath & Beyond, I headed there to get a seven-piece Space Bag set. I could have ordered it from their Web site for $19.99 (the box cost $29.99 at BB&B), but I figured with the coupon, I’d be paying the same as I’d have with ordering it online and paying shipping. Plus, I could have it NOW.

So, I came home, pulled out the XL size bag and decided to see what was up. I stuffed in two raincoats, two thick winter coats, at least one or two spring jackets, a hoodie, a fleece thingy, and two wool pea coats. Then I zipped it up, sucked the air out and got this:

Space Bag OMG

Color me impressed, why don’t you? That could totally fit into a suitcase. Not the big one, either, a normal one. Um, wow? All those coats! And I still have a bunch of the vacuum bags to use. I wonder if I’ll need to buy more? I know I want to BUY more. Now that I know where to get them… πŸ™‚

YAY Space Bags.

I also separated out a bunch of stuff to donate. I managed to fit in all the shoes (except the ones I am using now), bags, and belts into ONE bin. The rest is going to Goodwill. I feel so proud. If I can consolidate like that with everything else, this could work out well. πŸ™‚

I just have to be RUTHLESS, is all. The knick knacks are going to be the hardest, to be honest. πŸ™ Those and the stuffed animals. But one way I can talk myself into that is by telling myself that those bears would make some kid somewhere very happy. I plan to only keep one or two bins of stuffed animals (sorry Adam, I just can’t part with ALL of them!).

Star, I still have that box of dolls to send you–I plan to do it within the next four weeks.

Tying up loose ends. There is so much I need to do, besides all the packing, organizing, etc. And locals, whatever food I don’t want to take with me, you are more than welcome to it. I also have an entertainment center, a TV, and a desk that I need to unload. If you want it, holla!

Did I mention the official move date? It’s March 17, 2008.

LESS THAN A MONTH! OMG OMG OMG.

Sunday Evening

Last lazy Sunday for a long time.

Today, I slept in until noon, watched The O.C. on DVD, ate some of my wings and taters from Pizza Slut Hut, and baked some brownies. I also made a pitcher of Cool Splashers, which is Disney’s version of powdered drink mix (aka Kool-Aid). The Cool Splashers are a lot cheaper and OMG is the black cherry flavor addicting!

Now I am fresh out of the bath, and I have a pretty full calendar the next several days. That means I need to get to bed early so I won’t be exhausted and UNmovitated! Too much to do for me to be crashing right after work, yo.

I want spaghetti. I think I shall have some.

See ya.
