By 7pm yesterday I was feeling pretty discouraged...okay, by 4pm I was feeling discouraged. There was still alot to pack and alot to come down and it felt like it was never going to get done. Thankfully my friend Peter was there to keep me motivated (he brought cookies as a bribe). Still with only 2 of us it was a big job. I will admit, Peter did most of the work and I mostly whined. Then at 7:30pm 3 angels appeared. Amazing how much faster things go with 5 people instead of 2. Within an hour they had moved out the majority of the boxes and packed new ones. Thank you first to Peter for all the hard work and encouragement, then Mandy, Jen and Michelle for being my saving grace when I was feeling overwhelmed.
Also a big thank you goes to Mom, Dad, Liz and Jen for the awesome birthday present!
Today is another big day, we have to unload the truck and come back for 1 more load, then take down shelving etc. Even though it's pouring with rain I am optimistic it will get done today!
Thanks again to everyone for their help!

5 days to go and my house is a zoo, this is very unusual for me when I move. I am usually packed a month in advance and the boxes are neatly stacked and we are ready to go on a moments notice. This time round I am no where near packed the boxes have created a maze through the house, the dishes are in a dirty pile on the counter, I can't find my kitchen table and the bathroom is filthy.
Perhaps I am just done with all the change this past year, done with the uncertainty, done with the disruption. I wish I could just go to bed tonight and wake up in my new place. I hate asking for help and I hate people seeing the mess and the dirt that has become my home.
I just keep thinking that in 1 week I will be in my own place...how sweet will that be?
I am in the middle of an 8 day work week ending with moving day and I can't seem to get motivated. Sigh. 1 week.

) go to www.google.com
2) type in "failure"
3) press the I'm feeling lucky button (instead of the google search one)
4) Laugh
5) Forward to others before the Google folks fix this!

As much as I appreciate the little soldiers guarding the lego house on the coffee table, there is a reason you have your own room!

they like me, they really, really like me!
So the eye doctor was unphased by my chewed up legs. They have offered me a job I didn't actually apply for. Yeah for me!

I had an interview last night. I had my outfit all planned out. I had bought the cutest chocolate brown suit and matching shoes 2 weeks ago, and hadn't worn it yet. The pants needed to be hemmed, so about 2hrs before the interview I got out my hem tape and iron. I ironed the hem to the right length, checked myself out in the mirror. PDC!! I must say.
I pulled out the pins and trimmed the excess fabric off and decided to run the iron over it one more time. I turned the iron back on to the same setting ran it over the hem and pulled up in horror!
My pants completely melted, all over my iron. There was a huge hole in my brand new pants!!!! I was more than a little choked!
So plan B. I still wanted to wear my brown blazer so I chose I long brown skirt. This would require me to shave my legs. There was one problem.....I had decided to buy a warm waxing kit for my legs, so I was in the process of growing out my leg hair and I neglected to buy razors. I quickly jumped in the bath and discovered I only had the one dull razor left. It was all I had and by now I was only an hour away from interview time. So I had to use it. It was painful....and a little ugly. Nothing like a little razor burn to make a first impression.
I figured I would be sitting behind a table or a desk so it wouldn't be a problem, but when I got there they decided to use the waiting room and pulled up three chairs so we could all sit in a closeknit circle. I couldn't hide my pretty legs!
I'm not sure how the interview went...when I left they said they were doing interviews all week and would get back to me in a few days. They called and left a message at 10:30am this morning(only 14hrs later), I'm not sure that's a good thing. I'm thinking the freakish, red, bleeding legs may have turned them off!
