"You're drownin', Shoog!"

What I really want to know is how in the world I have ended up with so much STUFF?! I mean ... geez, Louise, folks! The packing is downright incessant.

I am taking a HUGE, MONSTROUS, GIGANTIC carload (possibly 2) of things to Goodwill today. Then I am heading to the "record-sell-back-store" ... whatever ... we'll call it "Ralph's" because that is my only point of reference. Then I need to go to the church around the corner and drop off a box of books for their book drive that I saw fliers for at our mailbox yesterday.

All of that, and I *still* am not done with packing. I've saved the kitchen until now because I still cook every day at home. I guess it'll just have to be sandwiches and cereal for the next 3 days. :)

But, yeah, seriously ... 10 years of living "on your own" coupled with an acute case of sentimentality will accumulate into some mass amounts of business hanging around. It's nuts!


(For those who think I have lost my mind with the title of this post ... it's from King of the Hill, a show I have become addicted to via reruns on Adult Swim. I conveniently blame my boyfriend.)

Wow.

Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Ed McMahon all in one week ... sad times for the entertainment industry.

Lazy, hazy, crazy days.

I haven't been posting lately because my life has transitioned into some sort of dream world where I have absolutely no schedule, obligations, or responsibilities ... nor does the person with whom I co-habitat. Both of us are off work until we start school, and we really just do whatever we feel like, whenever we feel like.

It's thrown somewhat of a wrench in my structured little schedule where I actually get things done, and pride myself on extreme productivity ... but it's actually been pretty lovely.

It all ends soon, though. There are mass amounts of packing and sorting and Goodwill dumping that must be accomplished before the U-Haul arrives on June 30th. I plan to get rid of about a quarter of my net accumulation before we head back to Lubbock. There's a time to keep and a time to give. Now is the time to give!

I'll get back on track with ... well ... everything ... once school starts back up on July 7th. Until then, I think I'll just stay right where I am, doing what I what, when I want, and enjoying every minute of it!

One month.

Yet another exciting revelation about our new house:

No more SCREAMING couples on the opposite side of our bedroom wall waking us up at 7 o'clock every, single Sunday morning like clockwork.

Awesome! Those two "lovebirds" are totally whack ...

Glee

Fox has pulled a tricky, tricky move ... they forced us to watch the pilot of Glee, made it completely fabulous, and are now withholding the remainder of the goods until the Fall.

What a nasty thing to do!

Ugh, if you didn't get a chance to check out the first episode on its original air date (a couple of weeks ago), it will apparently be running throughout the entire summer. Watch it!

Kay's 60th

Happy Birthday, Aunt Kay!!!!!

Here are a few pictures from her 60th birthday party this past weekend:

(More to come as soon as I get all of the photos from the party-goers.)

C'mon, Thursday!

Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy ...

It's nice to have so much to do. Sitting around all day without a purpose bums me out.

So ... on Thursday, we are heading to The LBK for Aunt Kay's 60th Birthday Party!!! It's a HUGE shindig at Norbert's house with lots of food, lots of drinks, lots of games, and lots of people! I have no idea of the actual head count, but it is going to be BIG.

That's Saturday night.

Thursday afternoon and Friday (most of the day) will be dedicated to finding a house. We have made it our mission to sign a lease and have a Lubbock address waiting for us at the beginning of July before returning back to Austin for the month of June. This shouldn't be too, too difficult, as I hear there is a lot for rent right now, with the official school year being over and whatnot.

Call me crazy, but I do enjoy a good day of house-hunting.

Saturday is mostly party, very little business. It starts at 5, but there is much to do in preparation. Alex and I will be full-on decorating and setting up and assisting right up to the time of the hoe-down. (Ho-down?) Then it's all fun and games into the late evening hours.

F-U-N!

Sunday and Monday and possibly Tuesday are all up in the air. We aren't going to leave until Tuesday morning, at the earliest. Just depends on what other loose ends we need to tie up before the big move, as we will not be back to Lubbock until we roll in with our U-Haul.

(I can't believe it's only a month away.)

Anyway, I'm totally excited about this trip! It is going to be full of super-fun stuff. I also have devised a plan to optimize the picture-taking extravaganza that Saturday will most certainly be! I mean ... SO MANY PEOPLE will be there!! All of our family and lots of friends. Too sweet of an opportunity to NOT take a boat-load of photos.

Of course, I will post a great number of them on here as soon as they are uploaded late next week.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...
