Call me crazy.

I am crazy.


Packing up the house to move across town on Friday.


Once it is in my head it HAS to happen...so want to be in for Christmas and at least get a tree up and decorated.


Right now I am doing that thing where I sit at the computer, work on "work" stuff for a couple minutes and then get up and throw a couple things into a box. Walk into another room and throw a couple more things into a box. And then back to the computer again. Doing laundry at the same time. Master multi-tasker that I am LOL.


So excited to be in a new space. Our own place to settle into and make it just right for us.


This has been such a crazy year for us - makes sense that our holiday time would be totally out of whack and not "normal." So us.

    You constantly amaze me in that you are able to be in the midst of chaos and still be sane. Congratulations on the new home.

    LOL Reminds me of when I was 10. My parents built a new house that was about 3 blocks from where we were living. They closed on the new one a week before Thanksgiving and we were going to move in after the holiday, but my Dad made up his mind to move 2 days before thanksgiving. At first it was just going to be the stuff we needed to live with for a few days, but ended up being the entire house! It was s sight to be seen that's for sure.
    Good luck with your move and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

    Oh my gosh, Ali, you're moving again? You just moved, not long ago, right? I hope you're moving into a place you love and want to stay a while!
    Boy, it sure was quiet without the AEzine and your blog entries... I'm so glad you had a fabulous vacation, though. Can't wait to see what you do with all those gorgeous, new pictures from the trip!

    Yep... crazy. I know... I'm living it myself. We closed on our house last Friday, moved over Friday and Saturday, and are now living in a huge pile of boxes. Christmas is less than a week away. I think crazy is a pretty accurate and appropriate description :)
    I also understand the packing thing! I would get so easily distracted while packing, and now the same goes for unpacking. At least with the unpacking, there isn't a deadline.
    Good luck with your move and I hope you're in the house for Christmas :)
