Well it's been a little more than 2 weeks since the move, so I thought I should update on my life right now. Moving day was hellacious, as only moving days can be. However, it went by quickly with all the help we had (a huge thank you to my family, andrews sister Ally and her bf Jon and Seanie Q). The weather in the morning was an issue, the great storm of Feb 2010 was coming to and end, and had already made me have to postpone the move 1 day and the thought of possibly having to postpone again had me sweating more than I ever had in any gym class, before any test or working any day outside in the sun. In short, I was about 2 seconds away from a nuclear meltdown that would have wiped out the Capitol area all together. So Sunday morning came and it was snowing, not a good sign at all...yet my family made the treck up and we got stuff loaded up to head to my new digs.
By the time we got to the new house, the sun had started shinning, which was a good omen. We unloaded, got the furniture organized and then Andrew and I treated everyone to dinner. Following that most people departed, which is understandable given the ride that everyone had ahead of themselves.
So the last two weeks have been spent unpacking, organizing, getting acclimated and finding the important things in life, like food places and nail salons. All in all the area seems fairly nice, lots to do, pretty much in retail central with a food place on every corner.
Getting the house organized was fairly stressful with a side of pain in the ass. Finding the space you want to put your stuff for the next couple years is really something i never had to think about or plan out before. It was always just a matter of getting things put away enough to be able to live with it that way. This time it was making a home.
So after much tension, stress and a bit of arguing the house is set up. Perfectly? no, but in reality what house is ever perfect? None, thats why its a home.
In other news, since the move I have started back up at Lane Bryant again, the store up here is a bit smaller, but the women are hilarious and pretty laid back. I'm getting alot of hours, which is good for an unemployed bride to be. However, one of the things that has definitely not changed is how bitchy some fat women are... I mean really...go have a piece of chocolate and get off your high horse, which by the way, you might be breaking.
Moving along, I am joining a gym today. The move has been very unkind to my waist line and with my wedding coming up I need to look phenomenal and right now...not so much. So its time to get my ass onto an elliptical and get rid of some jelly. Which is no easy feat given the plethora of food places in the proximity of my house. Never the less, being healthy is important and as diabetes, cancer, heart attacks and the like run strong in my family I figure I should make an effort to get healthy...and stay so. And the fact, that I have promised myself rewards along the way might help too.
So this summer is bound to be interesting and busy for this unemployed bride, and hopefully a healthy one too.
