Day 2: We got up insanely early, and were on the road by 7:15, so we blew past Amarillo (our original stopping point) at around 4, and drove to Elk City, OK. The drive was uneventful. The internet didn't work at the hotel. I was sad.

Day 3: We again got up early and were on the road by 7:30. We stopped in Conway for gas. I thought of Grandpa Fill ( Read more... )

So, I'm in Flagstaff, AZ tonight. We headed out of Fresno just before 10 this morning, and got in about 7:45. There were a couple traffic jams in middle-of-nowhere, CA (one of which appeared to be caused by a traffic light which randomly appeared on the highway), but we still made decent time.

If you're ever in Flagstaff, I recommend Mamma Lusia ( Read more... )

The movers finally showed up last night around 7:30, and got to work about 8. The apartment security guard gave them 10 minutes to finish and leave about 20 to midnight, and they actually started moving the truck at about 10 of. Now I'm sitting on the floor of my amazingly large living room, listening to the sounds of my father cleaning ( Read more... )

When the moving company calls, saying they'll be there in 5 to 7 hours, and not only are you not packed, you're supposed to be at the airport to pick up your dad at the same time ( Read more... )

 The plan was to get through a big push of packing today, since my dad's going to be here tomorrow, but, yeah, that really didn't happen. I'll get some more packing done tomorrow before I have to pick him up at the airport.

Seriously? Next time I move? I'm getting someone else to pack for me. I pay with cookies and assorted pastries. Anyone

The packing is actually going better than I thought it would be at this point, despite be barely packing at all yesterday or today. I still have virtually none of my kitchen stuff packed, but that's really the only room that isn't mostly done. I haven't re-packed up my computer, but I'm done using it, so it can be packed up when the spirit moves me ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a mix of wonderful and absolute suck. My bothers and one s-i-l trekked their way to Fresno yesterday, and while one brother made it without any glitches, my other brother and s-i-l were delayed on their firs flight, missing their connection, and then delayed on their re-booked flight, missing their final connection, missed flying ( Read more... )

After a day of disappointments yesterday (caused my me; not other people), I came really close to writing a long, whiney post about things that I can't control ruining my life. Whatever the reason, I didn't write that post, and I'm happy about it, because today's going a little better ( Read more... )

I just finished making the last of the desserts I planned for Saturday, and as soon as they're cooled, into the freezer they will go (so no tempted little fingers will eat them beforehand). I am, however, pissed at my chocolate crossaints, as most of them unrolled while baking. They still taste delicious, but they don't look as good as I would have ( Read more... )

I keep forgetting that it's a holiday weekend. Of course, the fact that I know it's the weekend I think is pretty big for me. Wow, I never would have thought that I would be looking forward to getting a job, but there you have it ( Read more... )
