I'm surrounded by 30 empty boxes, yards of packing tape, and piles and piles and piles and piles of stuff. Waaahhhhhh! Wanna see something funny, though? I love how packing makes you really go through your stuff. I found a ring from Coach that I thought I had lost, and I found a FLOPPY DISK with all my college papers on it!! CRAZINESS!! :) I put it in a safe place, how could I toss it?
I made a WEIRD, but delicious and nutritious meal with random stuff in the kitchen we have to eat before the move. I used up 2 Gardenburgers, 2 eggs, a scoop of salsa, and a handful of blue corn tortilla chips. Who would have though veggie burgers were delicious broken up in scrambled eggs?
The goal is to have this whole place pretty much packed up by dinner, so that I can go to bed early and relaxed and ready to go for the big day tomorrow. It's going to be a really long move!!- 7am- wake up, walk to Coolidge Corner for a nice breakfast!
- 8am- meet moving truck over at address where I'm buying the new furniture
- 9am- hopefully be at my place starting to load the truck
- 11am- maybe on way to new apartment?
- 3pm- hopefully done unloading + furniture put together and able to eat a snack and lay down on my unmade bed for an hour or 2?
- 5pm- drive back into city and clean old apartment (boo!)
- 6:30pm- drop off keys
- 8- dinner, make bed, find pj's, FALL ASLEEP! :)
Memorial Day:
So... speaking of packing, look who got curious yesterday!! :)
Eloise is now happy and safe in Connecticut with her grandparents. My Mom and Dad are soooooooo excited to have a kitty in their house again. I don't think my Mom is going to be doing anything but play with her for the next week. She's a spoiled kitty!I took a moving break this week and saw Sex and the City 2 with some friends on Thursday night. I had to fight my way through the crowds headed to the Sox game (we saw the movie at the Fenway cinema), but it was still exciting being near the game. I'm going to miss this neighborhood!
We had dinner at Chipotle beforehand and it was yum yum yummy! I had the Vegetarian Burrito with black beans, grilled veggies, a little rice, loads of lettuce, and guack.
I also had a grapefruit Izze drink. Usually I don't drink soda, but this looked like fancy natural soda. It was good, but I kinda regretted all the sugary calories I ended up drinking- around 120 kcal.
My girfriend is adorable, she always orders the kids meal when we're here or at Qdoba! :) It's a great deal though- for $3.10 she got a small cheese quesadilla, rice, beans, chips, and a drink! My burrito and soda were $9! I'm totally getting that next time! :) 
We love how the chips come in a cute little brown bag, too.
The movie was ehhhhhh... so so. I'm glad I saw it, and I definitely enjoyed watching it, but some of it was kinda embarrassing. I found myself really uncomfortable when Samantha was acting up. I mean, I'm used to her being all crazy, but I thought some of the movie was a little offensive, and especially since I'm of Arab descent, I thought it was unfair to paint the Arab nation they visited in that light. In the US these days we have enough going on politically to cause some Americans to get the wrong idea about Arab culture, and the last thing we need is a hugely popular movie fueling the fire! I know, I know... there's some truth to it, but in my opinion it was too blatant, and judgmental. My favorite scene (SPOILER ALERT!) was with Miranda and Charlotte when they were getting drunk confessing about motherhood! Charlotte is hands down my favorite!! I liked how this movie finally showed the not-so-perfect side of her! (I mean, I know she Poughkeepsie'd her pants in the last one, but this was even better!)
After the show, we fought our way past the sad crowds leaving Fenway Park to Eastern Standard. We needed cocktails, stat! :) I had a cosmo, we shared the cheese plate, and then we had surprise birthday cake!
It was Eastern Standard's birthday! I love this restaurant, and as a grad student I charged WAY too many oysters and cocktails to Daddy's credit card. (Sorry Dad!) Sigh... those days were awesome! :)Oh my goodness... I don't even want to THINK about how much I'm spending tomorrow. Moving is so ridiculously expensive!
Well, ok, it's almost 8am... here I go! Enough procrastinating!
