My weekend in a nutshell

So my weekend can be summed up in a few words: hot, moving and DONE!

Despite owning a tiny car and having a husband that is 518 miles away for 3 more weeks, I finally finished.  I over came an overwhelming move, and now I am FINISHED!!  I was nervous about the whole thing, especially considering that moving is my number 1 least favorite activity ever.  I was supposed to have until next weekend to be out of the old townhouse, but the owner decided he wanted to sell, and we needed to be out this weekend.  Yeah, I'm sure there are some sort of renters rights, but I had no other plans this weekend, so why not?
On Friday I borrowed a pick up truck from a friend at work and decided to tackle this thing.  Oh, did I mention his truck doesn't have air conditioning?  Great.....

Yesm, that is a fan, a remote for the radio, and the window crank.  But seriously, it was a truck, and after a trip or two, we started to get along.

When I got home on Friday, I noticed a large puddle of water on the floor near the front door.  Greeaaat.  Thank goodness for home warranties!  Turns out there is a problem with the air conditioning in the house and the repair man can't get out until Monday.  So once again.... No air conditioning?

This is how i feel.. except I've only seen the meme in regards to 61 degrees.  Imagine it representing 85 degrees, the first picture the same but the second picture resembling a red hot firey building....

Really!  How does that work?!

Anyway, long story short, it took all weekend, but I did it.  We're officially out of the old house, and completely into the new house. 

I have very little brain power left for the weekend, and  all I know is the keys to the old place are turned over, I get the convertible back tomorrow morning, and I have a TON of work to do to get the new place in a livable state.  Including getting some air conditioner up in HERE!!!

Time for some fun times with friends at the local pub.  Cheers!

Missing in Action? or Moving Insanity & Awesomeness?

So I've been a bit M.I.A the past few days (weeks really), and this is what I've been up to:

The hubs and I bought a home, and then the next day he left for a temporary deployment.  That weekend, I rented a huge Uhaul (and realized how tiny I am), moved, replaced the deadbolt and door handle, had a friend correct my unfortunate door handle attachment job, installed internet, got new couches, painted the bedroom, half way painted the bathroom, and then went to a weekend long music festival.  Hey, when I get going, I don't slow down!

I'm really pleased with the way the bedroom has turned out so far.  I did 3 walls with Smoked Oyster, and an accent wall in Gypsy Rouge.  

I also spray painted the outlet covers with a hammered bronze color and added lamps.  The paper lamps are probably one of my favorite parts of the room- we plugged them into a wireless light switch, and mounted the switch on the back of the headboard for an easy way to turn off the lights at night.

This past weekend, I got the chance to go to Floydfest 11.  The weekend was filled with good food, great sangria (I'm not really a beer drinker) and fantastic music!

We listened to music way into the night and heard great bands like Matisyahu, SOJA, Punch Brothers, David Wax Museum, and more.

It's been a crazy past few days, but I'm glad to start getting back to normality again.  

Songs of the week: Since it's been a while, I'll call out this past weekend, and the one before it.  For moving weekend, Little Help From My Friends by the Beatles.  For my weekend of music and camaraderie, we have One Day by Matisyahu.
