They are crystal clear, like watching a movie in my mind. A horror movie I can't look away from.I remember being awakened by my best friend M a little after 9 AM. I remember working the night shift only a few hours before and was not happy about being pulled from my bed.

1. Fall TV is a mere two weeks away and I can barely gather the energy to plan out my Tivo schedule.
2. I have yet to watch the final episode of The Glee Project.
3. When faced with the option of either mindlessly watching TV or losing myself in a good book I chose to…sleep.
4. I had a kitty wanting to snuggle with me and instead I pushed her to the ground Cupcake Blondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081965648120070413.post-207843032702070632011-07-24T21:26:00.000-07:002011-07-24T22:51:06.716-07:00The One With This And ThatI have had a bunch of things bouncing around in my head for awhile. Time to do a bullet list!~We are currently battling with our insurance company and the hospital Charming went to when we was ill due to the $4000 bills we have received. We are hoping for a reduction from the hospital or an increase in what the insurance will cover.

There has just been so much going on. So much to attend to.Getting the house ready. Entertaining some guests. Struggling to figure out how in world to pay for $4000 in medical bills.Yes, Charming's bills for his hospital excursion came. And because the hospital we went to is not covered by his insurance we have to pay half.

I promise a detailed post about everything regarding the move and our new home is coming. We have just been so busy trying to get everything together for yesterday and our housewarming party. We worked really hard to have our home ready to show off to people and are pretty proud of the results.Too bad no one showed up to see it.Yes, we threw a Cupcake Blondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081965648120070413.post-73467494830186280902011-05-29T21:42:00.000-07:002011-05-29T21:54:09.134-07:00The One Where I Catch My BreathOy. Vey.Well, we are moved.And amongst the mountain of cardboard and newspaper a new home lay...somewhere.But before we got there we had to first finish up at the old place. Cleaning, polishing, and sprucing to ensure we got our deposit back. And in between all of that we decided to hold a garage/moving sale.Because we didn't have enough to do.And I love getting up at 6:30 AM...three days in a Cupcake Blondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081965648120070413.post-26904442744439211502011-05-22T18:50:00.000-07:002011-05-22T18:52:27.111-07:00The One With The Day AfterMoved.Boxes everywhere.Hurt everywhere.Will write more when full sentences don't tax my brain.Ow.And oh my.Still have a lot of work to do.Cupcake Blondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081965648120070413.post-82618063717733408522011-05-20T22:13:00.000-07:002011-05-20T22:44:42.934-07:00The One With The Day BeforeI'm exhausted.Between working and packing and hauling crap to the new place I am not sure what day it is or what my name is. I do however know that tomorrow is the BIG move. We are well prepared I think. The only things left in the old house are the large furniture. Our bedroom set, a couch, two love seats, two chairs, two entertainment centers, two desks, the cat condo, a bench, the bar, a Cupcake Blondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081965648120070413.post-42558158319705271202011-05-18T20:26:00.000-07:002011-05-18T21:15:33.054-07:00The One Where We Take More HitsAnd the hits just keep on coming...~CenturyLink never called me back. So I called them AGAIN yesterday. Told the whole story to another person, who was a bit of a prick at first, until he pulled up the account and saw everything that had transpired. And this time they didn't include all of the service. So once again, everything had to be redone. This time, the sales person told me he would call Cupcake Blondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081965648120070413.post-57603840176090496452011-05-17T14:11:00.000-07:002011-05-17T14:28:27.407-07:00The One Where I Almost Pull My Hair OutDay one of moving and we have already hit some snags...~Got a call from our new property manager. She was confirming our meet up today to get the keys. And to let us know the work needing to be done on the home was almost done but the contractors needed to finish up tomorrow. She said not to worry, they have a key and can come in and finish up without bothering us. Uh....what?

Because we certainly didn't have enough to do.A local coin shop holds a yearly treasure hunt for a $10,000 gold medallion. Over two weeks you travel around to different points all over the valley to get clues from different merchants. The clues all lead to the exact location of Cupcake Blondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081965648120070413.post-37941264494514406652011-05-09T15:08:00.000-07:002011-05-09T15:18:16.286-07:00The One With The PackingWell...no call from the property manager.*frowny face*I am not surprised because that is our luck. We were resigned to the fact we would be in the other house and the Dream House is not for us right now. And we'll make it work because we always do. It'll be fine.So now we are packing up a storm. And I am finding more and more stuff to get rid of. I guess that is the one good things about moving.

However, several things are in play. The lady's son really didn't want to move there and she had already put a deposit down on another place. She has until this weekend to sign the lease and if she doesn't we swoop in and take it.However, in Cupcake Blondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081965648120070413.post-85124801660860338002011-04-28T22:19:00.000-07:002011-04-28T23:59:29.879-07:00The One With The Dashed Dreams (Maybe...)Today was supposed to be a better day.I mean, yes, my brother was leaving to move to Virginia and it was hard to say goodbye to him.

We aren't ones to really celebrate Easter much, so the baskets full of goodies and chocolate were a great treat. However I did manage to go to church and create an Easter egg hunt for Charming when he got home from work last night.
