Moving=I am a bitch
Well we offically moved this weekend. This really was my first offical move. I mean, I helped sinnick when we moved from Delware, but that was his stuff, and he did most of the packing. This time, I was fully involved. 

Here are the things I discovered while moving:

1. Driving a big ass truck is scary
2. Sinnick is very good and driving said big ass truck
3. I am really out of shape--and basically useless when it comes to loading the truck
4. I am a fantastic packer 
5. Moving makes me feel like my world is turned upside down
6. When my stuff isnt in its usual "stuff" place, my brain shuts down and I talk giberish
7. Swimming in my new tub is fun---its fricken huge
8. Cleaning is much more work than  I ever thought it would be
9. New houses make wierd noises that keep you up at night
10. Nick seems to sleep like a baby, right through the new noises.
11.You can literally spend thousands of dollars at HOME DEPOT when you own a home
12. Reading the instructions on a Carbon monoxide detector is like reading the bible (same length)
13.Nick is really good and hooking stuff up (Nerd benefits I tell you!)
14.I can use a drill, I can use a screwdriver
15.My dad is just awesome, except when he sets a towel on fire in my kitchen
16.Filters for Furnances come in every imaginable size & ability
17.There are seven thousand different sizes of drywall plugs
18. Fortinos is a cool grocery store --and local
19. Cars are essential in the suburbs.
20. and the one sinnick hates the most---I am a BITCH when moving.

Some comments:

5. I've found that your world feels upside for even a couple of months after the move, even if everything is unpacked and put in place. It takes time to adjust.
6. Probably because your brain has to do so much extra work trying to remember with stuff is. Takes away from normal functionality.
9. You get used to those after a month or so. There is so much noise at my place, I feared that I'd never get a good night's sleep. Fortunately I adapted (and got a white noise fan for the bedroom), but my guests usually complain. :(
16. And yet *still* I couldn't find one to fit my furnace exactly! Crappy custom furnace...
20. Hey, don't feel bad! It's not easy for a girl to move. We're born to nest and protect our nest. When the nest is disrupted, we're entitled to get a little bitchy!
