This was a very relaxing and stressful Labor Day weekend. Can it be both? Well it was. AL and I relaxed most of the weekend. But he got up early Labor Day morning and ran a half marathon. He did really well, too! Grammo and Nanna were visiting all weekend. But they were gone almost all day every day with their Balloon Festival work. They were exhausted. We met Eve and Joe for lunch one day and dinner the next. That was all of our action. We relaxed the rest of the time. But it wasn’t completely relaxing, because there is so much to do now! We have so many people to call, so much cleaning, packing, fixing…
Today we had a carpet guy come over to stretch our carpet. It came out well and fortunately wasn’t very expensive. Now we have painters, landscapers, handymen, and cleaners among others to hire. It’s going to be a very busy month.
One cool thing happened this weekend. I was thinking about how we were going to get boxes for packing. I looked up a site, and it said that you can often get moving boxes for free on Craigslist. I looked and sure enough… there was one posted that day. AL called him up and drove over. He filled the car with a ton of sturdy boxes. And now we are ready to pack… though we can only pack useless stuff like CD’s at this point. But at least we can start.
The power also went out this past weekend. We quickly discovered that we have very few working flashlights but lots and lots of candles.
Our inspection was completed today at the house in Florida. It went very well. I’m not surprised. The house is in pristine condition.
I failed to take any pictures in the past week. So I’ll leave you with this awesome awesome awesome “project desk” from Pottery Barn.
I’ve been researching Ikea lately, too, since one just opened up in Orlando. I really like their storage solutions. And this bed? The cat can’t get under it and barf, AND it has awesome storage! And a bookshelf behind it?! Fab!
