Love the lights!

The lights are great!

Today I went to see the statue at Roosevelt Island. That makes 3 miles round trip. I mostly walked the whole thing.. maybe only jogging a 1/2 mile of the first part, but thats still time I was up walking around rather than sitting on my ass watching tv. Plus Roosevelt Island is pretty awesome.

Today I took a teen girl swimsuit shopping. With her 13yo sister and 6yo brother. I feel like I should get an award. It would be easier if we allowed bikinis.

It's so difficult to find appropriate swimwear for teens. We allow two-piece suits (because they fit our crazy long-torsoed girls much better than one piece suits), but we don't allow the ever present skimpy string bikinis that seem to be all the rage. It's so much easier to find a great fit now that retailers commonly sell tops and bottoms separately.

You might check to see if you can find a retailer who sells tops and bottoms separately that includes more full coverage tops. I've seen several over the years that were more like tank tops with molded cups. You get the best of both worlds, coverage and fit.

We did buy separates. We have them get takinis. One pieces would have to come from the kids' dept. or petites dept.

Today the ILs are on their way home, thank goodness. They were a big help in the move, and we were going to do some fun/relaxing for the rest of the weekend, but then FIL got sick and spent 2 days of his visit in the hospital with a GI obstruction. Glad to have them safely on their way, and have everything quieting down. I can't wait to finish unpacking and settling in.

Today so far I have managed to chat with my boss, drink coffee, eat toast, hang one picture, and read my emails. Giant work fail. Must be a case of the "Mondays-after-moving-when-everything-hurts-and-I'm-surrounded-by-boxes-and-clutter-and-can't-get-a-damn-thing-done".

Glad the move went relatively smoothly and that despite the hospital visit, your FIL is okay. I probably missed this somewhere along the line, but how far was your move? City moves are so much easier than state moves - or even several hours+ moves. Nothing is worse than moving. I sure did pick the right husband, if that's how I feel about moving.

Just 2 hrs away - we started loading the truck first thing in the morning, then cleaned apt. #1, then drove 2 hrs, then unloaded. By that night we had places to sleep and boxes everywhere in apt. #2. It was kind of miserable, I wouldn't recommend trying the one-day move if you can avoid it!

[HouseofWool]

I swear to god, that the best thing I have ever done with moving is hiring someone to load and unload the truck. I don't mind driving it, but not having to do the heavy lifting was the best $600 I have ever spent. Different crews on each end because they were in different cities, but with a 6 month old? Holy cow, it made the move so much easier.

Well, today I'm watching out my sunroom/office window as a woman across the street is swinging a weed whacker around haphazardly and apparently trying to "mow" an entire vacant lot with it. She has her yoga pants tucked into tall white socks, but besides that and the weed whacker, she otherwise looks like a completely sane person. It's mesmerizing.

Today I packed up my work office - bittersweet!

Today we got the keys to our new house! I took a few boxes as an excuse to go play in it a bit.

Yay, so exciting!!!

Today, I listed my pre-DrK condo for sale. It's a little weird to think I'll probably never be in that condo again.
