the day after tomorrow

so not today... and not tomorrow... but the next day... i'll be on a plane to london. SWEET! but unfortunately for me, right this second i'm laying on a bed barely able to move so much as my fingers because i've been packing and moving boxes and furniture (or at least telling other people to move furniture, which can be just as exhausting! haha) for almost two whole days. plus sporadic days prior to that. my apartment is much like my purse... a never-ending pit. literally every single time i decide "ok... i can't zip this purse up anymore there's too much crap in it... it's time to clean it out" and i dump its contents on the table... i am ASTOUNDED. seriously, how is it possible that all of that was in that tiny cute little purse. and so it is with my apartment. where in the world did we put this stuff for three years!? considering the fact that our apartment is the size of some people's walk-in closets, i just don't get it. never-ending, i tell you. there was always one more thing to pack or load on the trucks. and then the cleaning... it is absolutely DISGUSTING that i was literally vacuuming up three year old dust. but seriously, how am i supposed to get to that when we have completely overstuffed our house with furniture and my bed is shoved against a wall? (we'll leave the fact that i have to climb over the lump that his my husband or hurdle the foot-board to get in bed for another post). anyway, hours of packing, moving, packing the random crap we forgot to pack when doing the "official" packing, more moving, shuffling, and then unloading. AND... when we get back from europe in two and a half weeks, we get to go through the mound of boxes now sitting in my in-laws storage unit to pack for DC. :) i love today... and the fact that my feet are throbbing and i haven't put so much as a spec of make-up on today or showered... and for some strange reason my lips are burning like they're sun-burned or something. haha. and i love that this will be my last post before i leave for europe and it's just going to sit here on my blog for two and a half weeks reminding everyone who reads it what a whiner and complainer i am. :)

oh... and THANK YOU to everyone who helped today. AMAZING! the part where we thought we had everything packed and everyone moved the furniture and boxes went SO fast. (and then the realization of all the random crap came... oh well). love you all! au revoir! ciao! i'll send postcards! :)
