Moving on up....

That's right. I'm moving. To a DE-lux apartment....in the sky...high...high. Well, not exactly in the sky....but it is in DC on the 3rd floor. I'm moving in w/ my friend Nancy (Fancy) who is moving to France-y at the end of June. I'll be moving over this weekend and staying until August the 1st--at which time me, Tango and our new friend Jen will move into the fabulous house we are currently searching for in either Arlington or Bethesda!

It's all on the DL right now...I have not yet given Scott my notice. Things have gotten kind of weird around the homestead, so I'm not telling him until I get my stuff out. I'll still give him a 30 day notice and all, so no worries for you legal eagles.

In the meantime...I'm kind of freaking out for several reasons:

-it all being on the DL causes some stress...have to be all quiet and secretive w/ the boxes.
-I have waaaaay more junk than i thought
-organizing a double move is kind of exhausting

I'm really excited for several reasons, too:

-I cannot WAIT to have a place of my own!! Do you know how long all my stuff has been in storage???
-so fun to look for a house. It's just fun!
-cannot wait to live w/ Tango!!!
-change is good. scary, but good.

Anyay--throw up a prayer for me for all the logistics. And if you are a friend in the metro DC area reading this...please come over Tuesday afternoon and help me pack the moving truck and transport to and fill up the storage unit. Many thanks.

Remiss....

It's been a while since I've posted anything. Although, seeing as how there are RARELY any comments...I can't say I'm encouraged to continue posting! (eye rolll, deep sigh)

Let's see if I can give you a quick run down of the last 2 weeks:

Thursday, May 1--I took Loverman to her Tres Dias weekend "send off". I worked a half day and we spent much of the afternoon together preparing for her weekend. It was a pretty sweet time together. You don't get enough fun, surprise weekends in life, so it was a great time being part of hers! Sad--found out Chris is moving to FL. :(

Friday, May 2--I woke up not feeling well, went to work, felt worse. By 11am I was home throwing up/sleeping all day/nite. Crazy, awful virus.

Saturday, May 3--went out to Reston to visit my precious friends Megan and Merideth. Went to a soccer game and had a great cook-out w/ a bunch of kids!

Sunday, May 4--went to pick Lisa up from her retreat. Got a reckless driving ticket. :(

Monday-BSF
Tuesday-Went to see "Baby Mama" w/ Anne. Soooo funny.
Wednesday--Happy Birthday, Mer!!! Tango got a job contract...we're gonna get a new place! WAHOOOOO!!!!
Thursday--??
Friday--pizza party at work, swam w/ Tango
Saturday--ran in the Make a Wish 5k with Jill, Tango and Christy Stauffer in honor of Amy Boyle (6th grader from my church who is dying from a brain tumor). Very cool--from "The Bachelor", that guy Andy was at the race! I stood right next to him! Sat. nite had Chris's going away party---fun and sad.
Sunday--church, lots of rain. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

That's pretty much a complete catch-up. It's been a busy but kind of blah couple of weeks. Big week, this week. Shauna comes tomorrow thru Friday. Big group dinner Wed. nite. Taking off Friday to go to the beach. 5k on Saturday morning. Dogsit Thursay thru Sunday (gotta pay my attorney $600 b/c of that reckless driving ticket!!) And it just keeps going and going.....

Couple of fun shots from the race on Saturday...NONE of the Batchelor, unfortunately! :)

Me, Tango, Christy and Jill
Me and Tango...doesn't she look like a cartoon character in that hood???
I've had a renewed interest (due to an interesting convo and a documentary) in Waco, Ruby Ridge, and other cultish activities. There was a really interesting show on this weekend about some group in NM. Random, but true.
Summer is here! Starting up the tri season soon! I'll keep you posted!
