What now?

Okay, so I hate to admit this but I guess I'm going into freak-out mode a little bit. Moving is a big thing, don't ever let anyone tell you different. Even if it is only 4 miles down the road. And I think moving all in one day or weekend is much better than spreading it out. That's my opinion. Last time I moved all in one day and it was much easier and way less stressful than moving over a few weeks. I'm not a happy camper. I'm super excited to move, love the new place, but am just not loving this way of doing it. It sucks.

I read "Love Walked in" by Marisa De Los Santos last week. I finished it in a few days. It was an amazingly wonderful story. Don't let the title fool you. It's not totally sappy & girly. It was very thoughtful and bit emotional. I really enjoyed it.

I was waiting for my next book for my bookclub to come in, reading another filler. I'm halfway through it & my book came in. So now I need to read quickly and get my filler done to be able to read the next book before our bookclub reading. My filler is "Prep" by Curtis Sittenfeld. It's a really cool book about kids in boarding school on the east coast. I'm really enjoying it. Not too sure about the kids' names in the book. I am sure he is making some sort of statement with names like Cross and Aspeth, but I'm not too sure what.

That's it for now. Over & out.

Moving Sucks

After all these years of threatening and saying I'm going to move, I'm actually doing it. Moving in with the boy. Grr's a little freaked out with all the boxes in the apartment. But she seems to like when things disappear. She sits in the spot where my bookshelf used to be, like she's claiming it all to herself now. Strange cat. I just can't believe that I have so much stuff. I know everyone says that, but really?! Where did it all come from? Every time I pack a bunch of boxes, and start to feel that this isn't too bad, I open another room or closet or whatever & find I still have SO much left to pack. It's all I seem to think about. For what it's worth, I do think there isn't too much more. I can't believe that it's been over 3 years I've lived in this apartment with the drunken manager and the cracks in the walls getting bigger, oh and don't forget my bathroom ceiling caved in twice, sigh...I'm still going to miss it. I have until May 31st to be out, for the rest of this month I have two apartments. I feel rich being able to say I have 2 places. It's fun.

Onto the fun stuff. I joined a bookclub!!! My first time meeting with them is this Saturday and I finished the book yesterday. I'm all set. I'm so excited. The book was really good. "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. It was a really good read. I enjoyed it a lot. Lots of adventure and quotes and action and mystery and etc. It was wonderful. I'm very excited to discuss it with people and see what their takes are on it. I'm curious to see what other's think and what I can learn from them, things I may not have noticed or thought of.

Oh, and my new place is closer to my Martial Arts class!! Woo-hoo!
