athene: (Coat of Arms)
Over the weekend, [livejournal.com profile] lordaerith and I traveled to DC for my eldest cousin's wedding. Met up with [livejournal.com profile] queencimmy at the airport and her GPS took us by a house with a large Longhorn flag in front of it. Can't seem to get away from Texas. Picked up mom late that night. On Saturday met up with [livejournal.com profile] alysonwonderlan and [livejournal.com profile] darktouch and finally got to meet their Little Guy. Went to pre-wedding dinner that night. Sunday was the wedding and the reception which were very nice. Sunday night went out to dinner with family and Monday morning there was breakfast at Aunt and Uncle's. Didn't get time to do tourist stuff, but got to spend lots of time with family, which was good as I don't get to do that nearly often enough.

Yesterday, after I went to see GI Joe with my team from work, [livejournal.com profile] lordaerith and I went to Ikea and picked up couches for our new place. Hurray for new couches so we don't have to move our old crappy falling apart ones. Got some paper sorting done before bed last night.

Still have tons of packing and moving to do. The next few nights will be completely mostly devoted to that. Saturday is moving day. Sunday is cleaning old place day. Gah!!!

athene: (Ronia)
Box count: 45.

Rooms fully packed: 0

Almost everything is out of the bedroom and down in the living room so we could pack all of the living room/study/bedroom stuff at once, finding places for stuff together.

If we can get this done tonight then all we have are the bathrooms, kitchen, and all the stuff we're taking with us tomorrow.

I think it's possible.
athene: (goth)
you are a goth (at least partly) when while repacking your sock/nylon drawer you come across 5 pairs of fishnets (one white), 2 tights with spider webs on them and 75% of all other tights/thigh highs are some shade of black.
