LOL! I can't believe all the crap we have! I've sent alot to the Salvation Army too! I was really hoping to be in there this weekend, but there is still so much to do here!
Wow, you're really busting a move on this, aren't you? Virtually no breathing room. Is this a bigger house than what you have right now?

Yeah I'm dying to get in there already & we have so much stuff that it seems like no matter how much you get rid of, there's still alot! We've already moved about 5 s-10 size truckloads of boxes over there, but you'd swear we didn't move anything by the looks of things! My house is a complete clusterf*ck & ofcourse my cartoon life comes to play in situations like this. Last night I was trying to manuver around a sea of boxes which used to be my kitchen, I was serving supper, when all of a sudden one of the boxes decided to jump in front of me & attach itself to my leg! I almost fell face first onto a plate of chicken nuggets, with ketchup ofcourse, & macaroni & cheese! I can't wait till we're moved in! Unpacking isn't as bad. But yeah the house we're moving into is alot bigger than where we are now. There's alot of closets too which I like. You can never have too much storage space that's for sure.
I never thought I'd live to see the day when the words "cluster****" and "macaroni" would be used in the same paragraph. LMAO.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I have to throw my two cents' worth in here...
As you all know, I'm moving back in with my parents in a few days. This weekend, to be exact. My brother is taking over my place, and he's already started moving his fiancè's stuff in. It's all piled in the computer room... I'm looking at it right now. They've decided to get married by a Justice of the Peace this June, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be even sooner than that. I wouldn't be surprised if she moved up here in just a few weeks.
Y'all, I don't want to sound melodramatic, but this is a little traumatizing for me. Maybe "traumatize" is not the right word for it... you would think that, as a writer, I could come up with something more fitting. I'm cleaning out my closets and discovering things I forgot I had. It's not that I'm a slob... I just have a lot of stuff. I didn't realize just how much stuff I have until I found a really nice black leather satchel that I used at my job at the mortgage company. I found all sorts of interesting things in it... it was almost like a Christmas stocking, except I'm not in a merry mood .
I'm almost 34, and I'm back to living with my parents. I used to be a homeowner... I was proud of the fact that I was able to accomplish that on my own. Now I'm regressing. True, I am still technically part owner of this place, and maybe in a few years I'll get it back or even be able to rent it out if my brother and his future wife have kids and need something bigger. But it's not my home anymore. I'm giving up so much, not just materialistically (he's getting everything in this place but my electronics and my bedroom furniture... he even gets the food in my pantry) but symbolically. Now little brother is the grown-up with the bright future and I'm the slacker. He's the one who's found the love of his life, is a homeowner, has a great job, all that wonderful horse****... I have almost nothing at this point. So, if I seem especially bitchy here on the forums, that is partially due to all of this. Sorry.
It feels a little better to write it out here, but not much. At this point, I have no idea who I am or what I'm doing anymore.

I am now quite a bit closer to getting out of here. I took most of my clothes over to the house this evening and hung them in the closet, then painted the bedroom closet in the condo white. It was dusty rose with gold highlights, a misguided attempt at cheering myself up three months ago. It actually turned out really pretty, but had I known I would be moving out, I would have never even bothered.... smacking the cat down while eating dark chocolate and working logic puzzles would have been a lot easier. Not as messy, either.
At this point I am so goddamn pissed at my brother. Not because he's taking over my place, but because he's being so pushy and obnoxious about it. On Monday he came home from Texas with a whole truckload of his fiancè's crap. He didn't tell me he was bringing it over... he just showed up that afternoon and started unloading. This really set me off because I had specifically told him NOT to bring anything over until I had moved some of my stuff out, because there's not enough room. Even after explaining in simple non-technical terms why he should wait, he chose not to listen. He did the same thing today... hauling in three HUGE boxes loaded down with his own personal ****. He KNEW I just started my new job today and would be working for the rest of the week, so I wouldn't have as much time to pack and load.
He's turned this whole ordeal into a first-chair clusterf*ck. It's not that he's stupid... he's just thoughtless as all hell.

It looks like I'm moving again... I'm moving back to the better part of town, the one I left four months ago because I was looking for a place closer to work. Things are pretty bad here and are getting worse every day. I'm seeing hookers hanging out on every street corner, there's a lot of gang activity migrating my way (graffiti, clusters of them hanging out at the 7-11 down the street) and last weekend I found a homeless person eating out of our dumpster. So my parents offered to pay half my moving expenses to get me "home".
I will be moving into the same apartment complex as them, but a different building. They have gates and a 24-hour fitness center so I can cancel my membership at the YMCA. My apartment will have vaulted ceilings, a fireplace and extra windows in the bedroom. Also, it faces the pool so I will have a nice view. These apartments are beautiful, and I'll be paying a little more but that's OK because I feel a lot safer here and there's more to do here than where I am right now.
I move in October 15th. Now I gotta pack my crap all over again. I HATE MOVING!!!
