It's Official!

I don't know why they were dangling the options back and forth in front of us like carrots, but they finally decided that we are going to Cold Lake, for sure. Chris's last day here is tonight, and then he is going to Cold Lake for a few days on Monday? tuesday? We don't even have it straight yet. He will then return, and we will pack, and we are moving on the 14th!!!

We are going to set everything up so that we have EVERYTHING ready, and we are going to move everything out, except final cleaning stuff, clean, do the inspection, drive to Cold Lake, and then stay over at Mom and Dad's. The next morning, we are going to get up super duper early and move everything in! Then there will be unpacking, and dishes!!!

Chris and I went for a drive around the neighborhood to pick up some packing material... As many free VUE, SEE, and DOSE as we could find!!! We did leave some for other patrons, and it was late at night, so the new editions will replace the few we left. Thank Someone for free newspapers.

Too bad Cold Lake only has the Regional! I will have to make a trip to Edmonton to get packing material next time I move!!!

Ooh, and a great way to keep your dishes clean so you don't have to handwash them (or waste water and soap in a dishwasher) is to use saved plastic bags, instead of newspaper, or before newspaper! I have LOTS!!! I was going to recycle them, until I figured out that the plastic would keep the ink from the newspapers from getting the glasses all gross.

Yay!
Mom is thinking about getting some hire-a-students, but I don't know if I would trust them. At all. And we will be busy and stressed enough, let alone babysitting. Jarrod won't even be here. He could easily scare the crap out of some hire-a-students. My Dad probably could, too!

No other news.

Things to do:
- Change of address form... $50?
- Pack.
- Find people to help us move our stuff out on Sunday, August 14th. Hint hint.
- Get mattress bags, since my mattress is already ripped from being moved, dragged, etc.
- Pack.
- Clean.
- Stop typing so I can pack.

Anyway, if anyone could possibly lend a hand on Sunday a.m., (we haven't yet figured out what time we will have the U-Haul here), please let me know...

Thanks! Blaine
