I'm really a klutz

We did a lot of stuff today on the house -- took a bunch more boxes over to the house, and I'm going to pack up some more stuff tonight I believe -- Just keep moving it on over.

The bedroom is coming along good and I'm feeling a little more optimistic than I was last weekend. I have every intention of moving June 2nd and just letting things fall as they will. Even if we have to do it ourselves, at this point, it's just like, whatever. I want it ended.

So, anyway, I was walking out to my car with my huge laundry basket and the path curves a little bit and I actually stepped off the side of the cement and twisted my ankle a little bit. Ended up flailing around and dropping the laundry and scraping my other ankle and knee a little bit. My dad and Jake were both like, "Did you just fall?!"

Oh well. My ankle hurts a little bit, but it's not sprained or broken, so I'm totally good.

We get the fridge on Wednesday -- which is awesome. Then, 5 fabulous days in Saint Louis, to visit Maggie and Ryan and to see a childhood friend get married. Oh and celebrate our 2 year anniversary. I can't believe that it's been two years. Crazy.

Anyway, just wanted to share. That's all I've got. woot.

EDIT: It is now 4 am on Monday morning and I have been awake for the past hour because my foot hurts pretty badly. I'm trying to ice it a bit and I took some ibuprofen, but it's difficult to walk on said foot. I wish that I had iced it a bit before I went to sleep. But, since it's not really swollen, I don't know what effect (affect?) the ice will have. And I can NEVER remember how to use those two words. Dang it.

Burned out

I'm offically burned out from working on the house. I give up. I hate moving. I will probably only do it once more, to move to a slightly bigger house in a slightly better neighborhood, I think. Or I could just get rid of a lot of the crap that I have collected.

The bottom floor is still not offically complete either, because we don't have curtains up and the bathroom is not finished. But, the upstairs bedroom is coming along. It will not be done before Saint Louis, but that's okay. I didn't really expect it to be. We have taken quite a bit over to the house, which is good. Jake, Josh, and The Joe moved the basement cage last weekend to the house, so that was good, because then I didn't have to do it. I've packed up a lot of stuff and we've run it over, but now it's in boxes and just sitting at the house.

I'm just hoping that we can get everything done soon. Jake and I are getting very tired from living this strange inbetween life at this point.

Plus, it's early now and I'm tired. ugh.

Anyway, off to eat breakfast and then to work.

Me =

not having a baby. Not on the music baby train.

I can tell you who is, but I am not.

Just in case that needed clarification.

Since it's now on my wall on le facebook.

now, me = work.

I had such a good title thought up, and then I forgot it

The main floor of the house will hopefully be done after this weekend:

The new floor in the kitchen just needs the tiles put down and it'll be ready to go. The window/door trim needs a second coat everywhere and that will be done.
Vacuum and clean the carpets once more and done.
The back office is done

We got a free oven from Jack and Betsy (they found one for free)! It's fairly old, but it is really clean and works good. Electric.

Had a new washer and dryer delivered today and installed. We need to get some boards to put under the dryer to level it out, but otherwise, it's a - ok.

New adventures upstairs then: There were/are mice living in the fiberglass insulation behind the paneling in the upstairs (re: main) bedroom. I have to take off all the stupid decals, which are probably going to just take the plaster off the wall and will have to be filled in a bit. Definitely need a new window at the top of the stairs.

We'll have to plan carefully though. Not much money to do some expensive things. And we already have our first payment coupon for the mortgage. Goodbye $1230. OH, and the $597.50 that we'll owe for rent too. So, I'm trying to save as much as possible so we're not struggling at the beginning of June. I moved my student loan payments to the middle of the month, so we're good there.

Anyway, I will post pictures when it is looking more complete. It looks totally sweet now, but I'll probably wait.

Okay, well, I'm just waiting for my lunch to be done. 3 1/2 mins to go. Watching Dave Chappelle and then back to work for 3 1/2 hours. Then, probably running, since I've been slacking the past two weeks and have only run once. But, I did work my butt off last weekend, so that must count for something. And then to get drywall for the upstairs.
