My kingdom for a nail clipper!

So this moving thing - I'll be writing about it until every last box is emptied.  That might be a long time. I was going to be so organized marking every box with the room it belonged in and writing a bit about what was inside on the top - as well as putting big arrows on the side for upstairs or downstairs.  Heh.


This WILL be my craft room.  Ahem.
If only.


At some point I think I was just overwhelmed and my daughter had to rescue me, thank you Dani.  I threw out or donated half of what I own I swear, and many heard me say "see?  I'm not a hoarder. . " or maybe that was just Dani listening.  


That I ended up in the new house with all (okay most of) the items I wanted to keep is a miracle but finding what I need has not come easily.  I know Cathy, I know!  I should have put notes in the boxes!  


I had to BUY nail clippers yesterday before I started putting holes in my socks.  No clue where any others are although I have used some since I've been here.  This organization thing just doesn't seem to come naturally to me although really, I think it's a skill I possessed in greater measure at some other time in my life. 


My kingdom for a professional organizer!

I knew I hated the phone ..



... but when I realized that one of the very best things about moving was that - my phone doesn't ring - I realized just how much.  I could have kept my old number but the number that was never supposed to be published was, and I was always hearing the ring, looking at caller I.D. and not answering it.  Sometimes when I did answer it I would tell them to take me off their call list but I swear they never did.  I was still getting calls for my Mom - even though she only lived with me for about 2 months in 2010.


My new number?  My son has it, my daughter and her husband have it, and my BF.  That's it.  I will probably give it to the cat clinic and my doctor but beyond that .. nobody is going to have it.  And this number IS non-published.


Happy!  Happy!  Joy!  Joy!


O-O-O-M-M-M-M ...

Listen carefully!


This is Abby.  The evil one.

Don't let the cuteness fool you.  She WILL eat your face.
