ugh

i was dreaming of packing.

this move stuff is hard work, ya know?

goings on

i finally did my taxes. it's not hard or time consuming, just i'm too lazy to do it. getting back cash from both federal & state.
z and i went to an a's game last night. it kinda got me thinking about how it was one of our first date things we did and how long we've been together and stuff. (the a's lost to the yankee's, 4 to 3 in the 13th inning. no, we left at the top of the 8th)

packing! packing! packing! i think i haven't been spending enough time at my place packing up/throwing away/recycling/giving away all my crap. i've only got maybe 11 boxes done and that's just a bit of my books, cds, & dvds. i still need to try and get a bunch of crap on ebay or craigslist or both. also need to try and contact the local lego group to see if i can unload any of my sets on them. not sure what to do with all the loose lego. i think i'd like to hang on to a lot of it for future projects at work but it takes up so much space...
i'm tossing a bunch of old art supplies i haven't touched in over a decade. if i haven't used it yet, i doubt i ever will but there's always that nagging feeling that it might be useful down the road (a sure sign of a packrat!). i've got 2 reams of old xerox paper i thought i'd use since it's just nice blank white paper but i've been buying new sketchbooks instead so that should go. plus it's starting to yellow slightly on the open edge.
what the heck am i going to do with my sculptures? i'll try to keep the better figurative ones but the old stuff from high school? i'll probably just take a photo of them and toss 'em in the trash. it's not like it's beautiful of anything. obviously done by a school age kid. need to purge. i know my mom would be upset but mailing them would be a pain and she's already got enough of my old junk at home i don't think i need to add more to the pile.

z and i are going to sign the paperwork on our place today. we're both excited and i think a little hesitant. we've both come from longer relationships that didn't work out and we don't want to make the same mistakes again. not that the relationship we have is anything like our old ones, we're just cautious. she's been doing a great job of cleaning her place, packing up stuff and getting rid of things. i'm afraid the new place will be all my junk and she'll be thinking "i like this guy but not all his junk". hehe.

okay. back to packing.

grape jelly?

i'd swear it smells like that.

i've had asparagus for 4 days in a row...

so busy!

the past few weeks:

had to run around to get ready for vacation
had to put in my 30 day notice to vacate my apartment
had to start packing up my apartment
this was really trying to find things to get rid of
took a nice relaxing vacation (we walked approx 47 total miles)
came back from vacation to find out my office was being moved in a few days!
had to go through over 1500 emails
the apartment z and i had our eye on had been taken off the market
z starts stressing because she just put in her 30 day notice and now we had nowhere to live
spent my sunday trying to pack up my office
looking through listings for another apartment
spent monday trying to pack up my office
looking through listings for another apartment
z is getting worried
finding out the office move wasn't happening until later this week
still need to pack up my apartment
turns out the apartment we wanted is available again

whew! i'm beat!
if i could, i'd just sit back and relax and eat an entire bag of cadbury mini eggs.
