The commercial doesn’t even do it justice.

You know the migraine commercial where the lights are on and the noise is going and they hear every sound and the women looks like she is in so much pain. That’s not even comparable to how much pain I feel right now!

Busy times

Why is it when we are at some of our busiest times in our personal life it’s also some of the busiest times in our work life.

I am tired.

5 Things you should know about moving

This is the top 5 on my list maybe after the move I will have another 10 or more to add.

1. Don’t hire movers (There are very few good stories about a moving company…. your better off luring in your friends with beer and pizza)

2. Rental Trucks – Its cheep during the week and times when its totally inconvenient for you to move. Its very expensive at the end of the month, last weekend of the month and the 15th of the month. (Better off luring friends who have trucks with beer and pizza)

3. Start collecting boxes early – check out Craig’s list for people giving away free boxes, start collecting empty paper boxes at work. Go to the liquor store (tell them you’re a great customer who is buying a large amount of beer due to luring people for moving, they should help you out)

4. Organize before you pack – don’t just through everything you have in a box, it’s a lot easier on you if you get rid of everything you don’t need before you move (If you can’t do this your self (lure friends in who will do it for you – better yet ask people you don’t really like I am sure they will throw half your stuff away with out asking, or worst case scenario drink all the beer and you won’t remember what you threw away)

5. Find somewhere to live – before you lose possession of your current place. This is a common miss practice among many people (AGAIN I CAN’T STRESS ENOUGH FIND SOMEWHERE TO GO BEFORE YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO GO!!)

Well I hope this helps you in your moves. I would love to here from you on any common practice you use.

Interesting resolution tips for your sign

Libra:
(September 23 - October 22)
Being born under the sign of love and partnership, it follows that your New Year's resolution should involve making a new commitment in this area of your life. The first step in bringing improvement to your love life is to be honest with yourself about your current situation. If it isn't working, Libra, have the strength to let go and move on. You deserve the best, and if you don't have it, commit to change.


Scorpio:

(October 23 - November 21)
There is a great deal of healing that needs to take place between yourself and a handful of people around you, Scorpio. Keep in mind that in order for this healing to take place, forgiveness needs to happen. This year, your New Year's resolution should involve forgiveness. Consider forgiving a new person every month, or maybe just one for the year. Either way, it will feel good and bring much needed healing to your world.

Compulsive buying

I know I don’t have money to be spending on other things (especially new furniture) yet I went shopping this weekend and almost – but didn’t. I almost bought a new sofa with chaise lounge and ottoman. Yeah I know – but I didn’t. I shouldn’t have even looked. I know its wrong but man oh man I want it and I want it bad. Look its purdy…

My own clean sweep

Well as I am moving I am trying to be very diligent and not to bring anything I don’t need. This is actually proven to be difficult in my small apartment while packing. I have more give away stuff then packing stuff and honestly there is no room for it. I knew I had a lot of shoes but holly crap I didn’t know I had that many – I’m sure no one knew how many I really had as I only sport so many pairs well maybe my roommate knew as she had no room for her own shoes.

So I am happy to say I donated over 20 pairs that are in great condition. It’s hard because I use the $1. a wear theory and so many of those shoes cost more then $50 and I am not even close to being half way to the $1. a wear mark! Good cause – good cause I have to keep saying that to myself – really I need them out of the house before I keep them!! It’s probably not even a good cause – who really knows where those donation boxes end up? Next thing I know its 3 in the morning and I am stumbling home from a bar and there is an East side hooker wearing my $230 boots!

That’s ok I am sending them anywhere and I will hope they go to a good home! As for all my other stuff I am working on getting through it I have 18 days to do it!
