survey the damage

I have a good idea!

let's pack up and move everything out of our apartment on a thursday night. sound good?

thought so. after all of those shenanigans we could not possibly think of anything else that would one up our night so we went to bed. woke up this morning around 8 and went to get my h1n1 shot at the field house. met up with ashley for lunch at the SAU and then we walked over to go ice skating.. except it was closed haha OF COURSE! i should have guessed! how stupid of me to assume that we'd go a whole day with no more complications.

BUT

good news! we're officially hopping on the internet bandwagon next Tuesday. i'm pretty excited. we decided that this is a good christmas present to ourselves. and one that keeps on giving because now we will actually have to do "the bill" every month. we're just pretending to be more grown up. secretly we just eat cereal for dinner and dance around in our pjs everytime it snows so that's not working out too well.

anyway, here's some photo evidence of the destruction of last night... (it does look a lot emptier now but i didn't bother to take anymore pictures yet)

the only thing that is making this a faulty plan is that i have no idea where ANYTHING is. seriously. i went to get dressed this morning. pants in one room. shirts in a box. underwear is in a laundry bag in the kitchen (because that's a logical place for it, duh) my keys were under a piece of paper on the table (which had me convinced that i had lost those too or at least packed them up in the car). shoes are here and there. it's an excellent set up really. i'm going to need post it notes with locations on them. good thing ashley is around she remembered me putting the keys on the table so that saved some digging.

make shift bedding. ashley slept on the couch and i slept on the dog bed (which was, in case you were wondering, quite comfortable)

why yes, i would enjoy packing up everything i own into trash bags

let's do laundry just for fun! using clean clothes.

picked out a few shirts for the next month or so... if you see me wearing the same thing more than once a week. don't judge. just know i'm doing laundry daily so chances are it's probably clean!


today doesn't seem to be going too horribly so far. but i won't speak too soon, it's only 3:45 ;)

Wow. I suppose that just being able to hang clothes in your own closet will feel like a luxury after all this. You know they say that all great art comes from suffering, so.... You have most definitely turned your misfortune into a great blogging adventure. Hang in there!

You are amazing. You will rise to the occasion. You have all the right stuff. I am so impressed. This is
tough to deal with at the time, however, as time goes
by it will get funnier. Bye the way......how does it
happen that you have a dog bed to sleep on? Do you
have to sleep all curled up. Do you have an urge to
chew on bones, or shoes or books???? May your life
get back to normal sometime soon. What is normal?
I am still wondering. Love and hugs

I'm speechless! The important thing is that you get it taken care of. Can't believe that these bugs actually bite you in the night! I guess the bright side is that you now have internet and a new appreciation for your clothes. Wow...Love you!
