We have (almost) Officially MOVED IN!

     As of today, May 25th, we have moved everything we owned to our new house!
It has been a long and arduous haul, but we are mere weeks of work away from being 'moved in'
I'm counting moved in same as Mrs. Incredible. when the last box is unloaded
 

She should know, how many time has she moved?!

      The sad thing about moving is realizing how much junk you've acquired over the years. Lucky for me, one of my worst nightmares is being a hoarder, so I systematically throw away stuff every other month or so and downsize.  Which also made it fairly easy to pack, since when I downsize, I downsize stuff into boxes. So everything was basically packed 5 months before we moved.

Shoot me if I get this bad

      We have torn out carpets and hauled in truckloads of junk, pulled weeds and bleached floors, cleaned fridges and slept on hard-wood floors, and finally was are that much closer to being done. thank god.

The cute, it is too much!

I have six adorable chipmunks for the weekend! They were found renting out a swamp cooler. The Landlord was unaware and promptly brought them to the Southwest Wildlife Foundation, Utah and the babies have to be hand-fed every 3-4 hours.  So adorable!

And also very fast. It is almost impossible to get a non-blurry picture of them.

I'm taking care of them for the next couple days so that my boss doesn't have to wake up every 3 hours during the night to feed them(plus who wouldn't want to be able to say they have hand-fed wild chipmunks?)

 ((plus THEY ARE SO CUUUUTE!))

NEW EVERYTHING!?

Well we have finally bought our first house! well, not really. we have been approved by a bank who took forever to tell us that we can try to by the house they own. (they did an annoying 'nanananana' the whole time we waited.) But we should be moving in in about two weeks!

It's an adorable townhouse with so much awesome, I swear one of the closets leads to Narnia! We get a little yard to do whatever we want with! (totally doing something awesome........I'll think of it later)

Maybe I could plant a garden??? I might kill it. My thumb is the opposite shade of green!.....red........from the blood of plants I kill by accident.

We are definitely getting a grill so we can have epic parties in our epic small yard.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with the whole 'extra rooms' thing. My god, I have 2 entirely frivolous rooms! And I'm not talking about living rooms or dining rooms. I'm talking about BEDrooms. 2 completely useless bedrooms. and a basement! A BASEMENT!!!!!

Oh my god, I have 2 living rooms. The basement and the upstairs!

I'm going to feel so small in this house.


 Well, I also got a sexy little truck. Just look at the sexy!

Just look at it!! Look at that horrifyingly lovable homegrown paint job!

I love this truck so much and I haven't even gotten it registered yet.

I did do a bunch of hunting for all the parts it needs to pass inspection
             -bumper
             -taillight
             -speedometer (still looking)
             -latch assembly for driver side door (still looking)
             -horn

I have no idea why I love this truck. The driver's side door doesn't open, the speedometer doesn't work (there is no needle) it had a CB radio crammed into the dash and jerry-rigged to the car battery, it's rusty, smells like smoke, dirt, cows and sheep, the ceiling is falling down/apart, it didn't have a bumper when I bought it, the seat didn't move back and forth (I fixed that too), it roars like a lion in first gear (I hate being loud) and it has a CAMO PAINT JOB. and Dale Earnhardt stickers. blegh. I haven't even started about the undercarriage.

Everything about this truck is wrong.

Yet everything....is so.....right.

It's like this truck was made for me. We were meant to be together.

Everytime I see it, I squee inside. The joy just bubbles up and I give out a little Pinkie Pie happiness noise! This truck knows me and I know it. And we will love each other for a long time.

I will be painting it different and some might think my custom paint job I'm thinking of is worse then the camo.

But this truck is my best friend and we both agree, camo got to go.

I'll be giving updates as I help my truck get a new paint job and name :)

PS. Name suggestions?

well our little rat Brisby passed away. Her sister Bianca has been very sluggish and depressed over the past couple of days and we know why now.  Goodbye little Brisby we will miss you.

If only I had a Car Alarm

Just the other day, there was a group of three or four kids playing near my car. They couldn't have been older than 6 or younger than 4. They stood by my car staring in amazement, for my meek Saturn Ion II had an Autobot sticker on the back. The largest boy pointed in awe and yelled, "look! it's a real Autobot!"

He and the others then convinced the youngest that if he opened the door of the real autobot, it would transform. They watched with baited breath as the young boy reached for the passenger door and slowly pulled it open.


Nothing happened.

But that didn't stop the boys! they ran away screaming, "IT'S TRANSFORMING!!! RUN DUDE RUN!!!" The young car thief held onto the door confused and scared. He slowly closed the car door and descreetly opened it a second time. The saturn still didn't change into an Autobot. One of the braver older boys ran and grabbed him tugging on him saying, "it's a delayed reaction! come on! come on!!!!!!!!" The little boy closed the door and ran as fast as he could away from the Saturn.

Best $12 sticker ever.

It's just one of those days that you feel very small. I don't know why I feel so small I just do. Well, I know some of the reason. I feel lonely. When I got married, my husband became apart of me. He's my best friend, but sometimes, it feels like he's my only friend.

Don't step on the momraths.
