My Creatively Random Life

The worst of the move is over, all of our furniture is in the condo (and it fits) now it's just a matter of moving over a few final boxes, cleaning up the old place and oh my the unpacking.  I think that might be worse than unpacking. The last few boxes I packed are just a hodgepodge of stuff; papers, wires, books, clothes and even worse they aren't remotely labeled.  One can only guess at what is in each box, it's like playing the lottery.  It just got to the point where I was of a mood to just get things into the truck so that we didn't have to make a second trip.  Didn't work but hey, I tried. The most important thing I learned from this move is that I didn't need 60% of the stuff that I owned.  Very little of it outside of the books and the craft supplies made me happy or had any real value in my life and the only thing that I have been super eager to unpack is the stuff needed to work on my Fan Expo Cosplays.  Oh and my stationary because my pen pa...

Celebrate the Small Things is hosted by  Lexa Cain  along with wonderful co- hosts  Writing Off The Edge  and  The Cyborg Mom . This week I am celebrating the fact that I have a job to go to get away from the craziness of moving.  If I didn't I might have gone crazy by now and ended up buried under a pile of all the stuff that didn't seem like quite so much before I tried to pack it.  I really envy the people (like Mike) who can be really brutal and just be like "Yup, don't need this" I am so attached to 90% of the things I own. Trying to purge books has been stonewalled twice by getting all teary-eyed over some book from high school English class that I will never read again but can't part with.  These are literary classics...one needs to own a copy of Call of The Wild.  People will judge me if I don't.  (well mostly I will judge me but hey) The kids might need it to read in school.  And I REALLY loved that book. I am als...

  Currently.... {I read  Jamie Morrow's  Currently every week and I always want to hop on board because it seems like such a fun way to keep you guys updated on the stuff going on in my life so here I am.} Loving... Work. Right now work is the break that I get from all the stress of moving.  I am never so happy as I am to walk through the doors of my office and sit down at my desk. Reading... War and Peace.  Well, really I have been reading it since the beginning of the year but since all my current review obligations are filled I am sinking my teeth back into it and really, truly loving it. Watching... I FINALLY got to see Antman over the weekend.  It was much better than it looked like it was going to be which made me very excited for Civil War. Listening To... All the music as I pack box after box.  The best stuff I have found for packing?  Ke$ha. Thinking About... How I am going to save all my pennies s...

Celebrate the Small Things is hosted by  Lexa Cain  along with wonderful co- hosts  Writing Off The Edge  and  The Cyborg Mom . Life has been so busy lately that blogging has taken a huge back burner in my life.  I have learned a lot about moving though, mostly that I hate it and anyone who does it with children and does have a nervous breakdown has all my respect. This week I am celebrating that Ace is having a fantastic summer away with his Uncle.  If you follow us on  Instagram  then you've been able to follow along with some of their adventures. The other thing that I'm celebrating is that our one-on-one time with Cat while her brother is away is not getting lost in the shuffle of the move.  We've gotten to enjoy all sorts of fun stuff so far, the water park, the beach, movie night. What are you celebrating this week?

  Currently.... {I read  Jamie Morrow's  Currently every week and I always want to hop on board because it seems like such a fun way to keep you guys updated on the stuff going on in my life so here I am.} Loving... That soon I will be living closer to my office and have more time to do all the things that I enjoy doing again. Reading... Jeff Gunhus's Jack Templar series, the fifth book comes out next week keep an eye out here for my review later in August.   Watching... A lot of Monster High movies with Cat because Ace is away.  Does the desire to dress like a cartoon character ever strike you or is that just me? Listening To... 1990's Playlists on Google Play.  I really have a thing for music from when I was a teenager these days.    Thinking About... All the thing that need to be done before I move.  For everything I check off the list I add three more, it's very frustrating. ...
