Congratulations on your last day of work Amy!!! Even though you've been looking forward to quitting your job, it still must be hard when you have to say goodbye to co-workers that you'll miss seeing everyday. You have so many exciting possibilities ahead of you now so get going on your packing girl!!!

[Jookiba]

Wow I've missed so much stuff-but I knew you were moving Amy and I send you the best of luck for an uneventrul trip down and a very successful job search!!!

Glad you got the apartment home you wanted-they look lovely!!!

How's about one last mudslide from the Hostess with the Mostest?

[DoraDoug]

I finally finished your May trip report and realized you started this thread. I love the apartment you chose! It is so cute! How's the packing going? Congratulations on becoming an unemployed woman as well!

So this whole packing thing...yeah its kicking me in the bum! We spent all day ok well a few hours today packing up somethings in our living room, not only was it hot but it was muggy and boy that did a number on me!

Ended up taking a 2 hour nap and woke up wondering what train had hit me! Houston we have a problem! Next weekend, we have family and friends coming to help but i think we are way over our heads here with the packing!

That and if you live in the same house for 30+ years expect to find the weirdest things. And if you ever collect Disney Memorabilia you will end up having a hard time deciding what the right set of things to put up in your 2 bedroom apartment will be!

We have too many things and well are not going to be giving up any of them! Too much money invested in it!

So hopefully we can be creative on how to display all of them!

The walls are bare now and it looks so naked! Today I tried to get up and go to work and then remembered oh wait I don't have to I am unemployed!

So thats where we are for the packing, if i don't update i might have packed myself in a box and marked it "ship to Orlando, She is done with this packing thing"

On another note, we got more plans made for our trip back to Connecticut for my cousin's Confirmation!

So now we have:

Airfare to CT
Rental Car from National
A Suite at the Hilton Garden Inn (for the same price as a regular room! SCORE!!!)
Airfare back home to FL

So we are all done planning that trip!

And my grandma is all set for her ticket back to CT. We just have to figure out how to get her to the gate since we won't be able to.

I have to find out if there is a way to get her escorted there for safety concerns. While she is pretty there, she doesn't travel, and we are afraid she will not find the gate, miss the plane and will be stuck there.

EEK!

Oh and we are now contemplating driving the whole way rather then take the autotrain to try and save money as it will not cost as much to drive all the way.

Will keep you updated!

I will try and take photos of the boxes and the dissaray if my mother doesn't flip out!

Good luck with the packing Amy, it can be such a pain!

[Minnie Lor]

I'm cheering you on, Amy!

[chezp]

with the packing Amy - I can only imagine what a nightmare it must be.

[Colexis Mom]

Good luck Amy!!

[GoofyMom]

Today I tried to get up and go to work and then remembered oh wait I don't have to I am unemployed!

Amy. From one packing procrastinator to another.... "GET PACKING!!!" Today is my packing day for our road trip and I'm actually a bit overwhelmed -- we're going to need clothes for 3 seasons plus whatever else we decide we need to bring along for 6 weeks on the road, so I've been putting it off until crunch-time. And now it's crunch-time. Girl, it's getting to be crunch-time for you too!!

[wishes]

Good Luck with the packing and everything else! Good for you to do this! I know you wanted to move for a long time!

[DoraDoug]

I know after 6 years in the same apartment, I was overwhelmed with the packing, so I can not even begin to imagine how difficult packing up after 30 years must be! Good luck and just remember you're packing for your dream!

[iamgrumpy]

So today we have packed exactly....0 things! we have done 9 loads of laundry, made breakfast, another 4 loads of laundry and we are going to go grocery shopping for the week, no bread, no lunch meat, no milk, no eggs makes for a very empty refrigerator

Then we are going to Dinner, and I have to get my nails done before one of them breaks!

Tomorrow I am going up to my Aunt's house to pick up the trip tiks we ordered and the tour books from AAA. I am going to have to wait for my mother to get out of work then we will come home and work on packing more tomorrow. Once my father isn't around to annoy us!

SO that my friends is today's update....Oh and if you think i am bad about procrastinating about Packing...wait until it comes time to UNPACK....my suitcase is still packed from our trip in May...guess I should empty that now?? or just wait till we get back to FL?

[DoraDoug]

Why bother unpacking your suitcase? I would consider that just one more thing already packed so see you really haven't been as unproductive as you thought!
