My To Do List

I've made a list of all the things I have to do with my move. It keeps getting longer and longer and longer. :)

At least the home inspection is done. It went very well. A few minor, expected items, but certainly nothing major. It is now officially pending sale and will be mine, all mine :)

I had some painters come by yesterday during the home inspection to give me estimates on painting the place. WHEW! Can you say expensive? The former owner didn't tape off when she painted, so she has paint all over the ceilings. So the painters are telling me that I probably want to paint the ceilings. But they are that stupid textured popcorn-y ceilings. Anybody ever paint those? I didn't think that painted very well. But all the painters say they can do it. I was thinking maybe crown moulding might be another option. I REALLY don't want to paint those stupid ceilings.

I splurged and bought some artwork to go in the new home. I've wanted a triptych for like - EVER - and the artist sold this set to me for a good price on Ebay. I know art is subjective, and you don't have to love it - but I do. I love music, and the colors are fabulous, and I can't wait to put it up in the new digs.

Manic Monday

I am on the edge of sanity (it wasn't a long leap before). Everyone's getting on my nerves. It seems that I don't do well with extreme stress. At work? Sure. In my own life, I FREAK OUT!

I started packing this weekend. I've decided I have too much stuff.

At least I have a mover set up. My boss's husband runs a moving company. I know where he lives, so he won't run off with my stuff. :)

The home inspection on my house in Richmond is today (fingers crossed) and the appraisal for my current house is today, and then we have to set up my appraisal for the new house, and WHEW! I'm tired.

There is some good news among all this. I did my "official" weigh-in at the gym yesterday (on the scale they use to track progress.) I'm officially down 15 POUNDS! Woo hoo. I'm trying to keep my stress eating down, so we'll see. :)

Happy Monday!
