Change of plans

After Souper Jenny today I planned to meet with Angela and Jenny about the cookbook and website and then go out with Angela and Chris to Bluepoint and start using the Buckhead Life Group gift certificate I have. Unfortunately Angela is not feeling well after her white water rafting trip yesterday, so I met with Jenny briefly to get the cookbook thing back on track (we have our photo shoot next week) before heading home. I have to say that I am a bit disappointed to not be going out tonight, but I guess that gives me more time to pack.

Yipeee more time to pack!!

I would like to start my public shout-out to Erin Haas who came over three days this week to go through my crap and assist in organizing, packing and discarding. Here we are going through my jewelry. We first played with Maxie and all of my Mardi Gras beads, but then we got down to business.

Just to get everyone up to speed on the big picture – all is well with the sale of my condo. After the inspection on Monday the only thing the buyer wanted me to do was to clean the burners on my heating unit. So after a “talking to” from Ashley, I had an HVAC company come in and clean on Thursday. All documents were signed later that day, so I am set to close on June 29.

The ABF Relocube will be delivered on Wednesday, June 27 and then I move in (with Lincoln and Maximillian) to Jennifer Levison’s house for the month. I then work at Souper Jenny and CCCS through the end of July and get on the road with my Dad on Monday, July 30. My fantastic mother will fly in to Sacramento on August 2 to oversee the unload of my stuff and my father and I will arrive on the 3rd. I then have the weekend to settle and start teaching DRA 21B bright and early on Monday morning.

So that leaves one area left. Where the heck am I living in Davis?

Good news is that I currently have 2 places to choose from. Chad scoped out both and my gut reaction was to go with this one. However, he really likes the charm of this one. My mother was not crazy that I may be in the corner underneath the stairs so now I am leaning towards the charming one. Even though the outside is a little run down, Chad seems to think it would be a little quieter. Also, since Mr. Siko’s dog did wonders to the carpeting, they will be replacing that, repainting and putting in new blinds. Both of them should be sending photos of the INSIDE soon. I think that’s going to be the tie breaker. As soon as I decide which place to take, I will sit down with Erin and the floor plan to figure out where everything is going to go and get rid of the furniture I don't need. The thing is that time's a tickin'! I now have 18 days until I need to skadoodle. I would love to be able to sell some of the bigger items on craigslist or offer them to friends.

Okay, I am going to make another vodka gimlet and go through more of my office. Speaking of vodka, look at some of the photos I found from Three Sisters yesterday!
