Moving Update Number Two

Did I mention something about blogging every day? I did, didn't I? Ah well, one more failure. Just building character over here. A bullet list to tide you over?

  • I packed my boxes. Mostly. And then realized I would need some of the stuff in them (After I taped them, of course). I will be unpacking them again this weekend.
  • I closed my bank account. It was painless. I even got a free le Creuset teapot out of the deal.
  • I haven't yet closed my cell phone account. They do not understand the meaning of the word "painless".
  • The cat is officially certified for travel. He doesn't know it yet. I am scared that he is going to be terribly traumatized by the flight. I am hoping my neicephew's Christmas present to him will assuage him.
  • The Boy got sick. Fever and the whole gammit.
  • We got cabin fever (to go with the real one) and got all mad at each other.
  • Then we got over it.
  • And moved on.
  • I did not get sick.
  • I am betting it will happen right about hour five on the flight back home.
  • (But we hope not.)
  • I have to figure out how to (cheaply) get to the cargo shipping area buried in the maze surrounding Charles de Gaulle airport at 7:30 a.m Christmas eve eve. Without spending a hundred euros. STRESS.
  • After this week, all I will have left is to pack my bags for the trip home.
  • And clean the house.
  • Because EW.
  • Then I am having a going away party.
  • I am going to pass around a tip jar.
  • Seriously.
There will be further, more profound, reflections on the move soon. I promise. Maybe Monday. I am also going to buy batteries for my camera because I'll be damned if I'm not going to leave without photo evidence that I lived in Paris. What should I photograph?

go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and photograph Paris from up there. Then you can cross 2 things off your list ;)

Hm, perhaps just taking a large bite out of a chocolate croissant? I am not sure, but nothing says PARIS to me more than cheese and pastry.

I can't believe it's all happening so soon. I am just soooo excited for you.
