1-800-move me

People.. ok.. before i say anything else.. i did NOT win any money in my superbowl bet.. i mean.. seriously i had numbers 8 and 9.. whoever wins with that??? But it's all good.. and now on to the move.. Let me preface this by saying that i have never seen such an efficient move in my life.. and if you have a story that compares.. bring it :) So.. we started on Friday night.. around 8:00.. we took a break at about 9:30.. went to the movies.. had some people over for pizza and wine (that's the grown up version).. and then got back to moving at about 12:30.. we finished the roomates stuff at around 3:00 am.. and by the time we got everyone a place to sleep and some covers.. it was 4:00.. we woke up at 8:45.. and were on the road down to san diego by 10:00.. yeah... i know it took us awhile to get started!! Got to the Uhaul place.. and yeah.. about them.. i'll have a whole new blog because i really don't have anything positive to say about them.. you know what, i'll just start the trash here.. so yeah.. i got like 8 phone calls from Uhaul starting on friday up to one hour before i was supposed to pick up the truck.. i mean.. originally they had told me to pick it up at one place.. and then they changed it and then they weren't sure they changed it.. whatever.. suffice it to say.. we eventually got it.. and if you have never driven a Uhaul before.. it's sooooooo not as fun as it looks.. oh my god.. talk about instability.. ours had bad breaks.. seriously.. like.. you hit the breaks and it goes to the left.. and then while you're driving all your force is to stop it from going to the right! Anyway.. got to San Diego.. we were 4 in total.. the roomate.. and one of her friends from Guatemala.. and another friend that i used to hang out with in SD last year (he's a guy).. anyway.. it took us about an hour to load the truck.. yeah.. and guys.. i have a MAJOR couch.. tv, tv stand.. coffee table.. it's not all fun and games..

So.. we got back on the road to LA.. right now it's about 3:00 pm.. on the way back are the three of us.. 3 girls.. two of which weigh less than 100 lbs (and no, i'm not one of them)... we got home.. let's say around 6:00 pm and were EXHAUSTED!!! We thought to ourselves.. there's no way in hell we can get the couch or some of the heavier items in here.. so let's just get the smaller ones (note to everyone.. when you do a one-way move.. uhaul doesn't give you a lock for the truck.. smart, no?).. so we started with the smaller items.. and then the tv stand.. and then the tv.. so we thought.. there's no point in hiring people for ONE couch.. we can do it!!! And people.. yes, it took us about 35 minutes.. but WE DID IT!!!!!!!!! And it's a sofa bed.. so when i say heavy.. i mean HEAVY!! By 11:30.. the living room was finished.. completely decorated and fixed up.. how impressive is that?? Yesterday we finished most of the kitchen.. and are now just working on the bedrooms.. let's hear a shout-out to the movers!!!!!!!!!! :)

So yeah.. i'm happy.. the worst part is done.. which is fantastic.. and now.. well.. i'll just unpack the boxes that are left and let you all know how it goes.. and yeah.. so that was great.. that was super.. that was phenomenal.. but last night.. i missed Grey's Anatomy.. and supposedly it was a kick-ass episode.. with a to-be-continued part next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So.. you know what this means right.. nounou's on a mission from now till sunday at 9:00 to watch yesterday's episode.. any and all suggestions on how to go about it are welcome and much appreciated!!!!!!!!!

on a hunt for Grey's!!
nounou :)
