Moving Day

Only a few people will remember why the phrase "moving day" reminds me of 9-11.

At any rate, we closed on the new house on November 15, movers arrived on November 16 to deliver THREE TRUCK LOADS of boxes, furniture, computer parts, and more boxes. Oh, and did I mention boxes?

My office area is piled 3/4 full, floor to ceiling, with my office equipment - I may not have room to unpack in there! And there's still more stuff to move from my parent's home.

Speaking of which... they're out of town at a convention in FL, helping watch my sister's kids while they attend the events. Upon their return Sunday, we hope to be out of their house and to have our new home in shape enough to not just sleep, shower, shave, and eat in, but to possibly also host relatives coming to town for Thanksgiving. It's a race right now, and we have not a single room ready for slumber yet. Oh, and I've got to get the washer and dryer hooked up ASAP.

In other news, Half-Life 2 was released yesterday. I bought the collectors edition today (trying to follow my pattern of purchasing the Half-Life games the day after they are released... I did the same in 1997 when the original came out, and I still play it.)

I'll post more info on this whole home-buying process later. I've got packing to do, a two-year-old who will not stay in her bed and fall asleep (it's 10pm now!) and work to do tonight.
