Alternatively titled: I love you, but I hate you.
Packing, oh packing.
You’re so nerve-wracking.
I find that I’m lacking…
In the boxes department.
But packing, oh packing.
I quite love your tracking.
For it means I’ll be shacking…
In a Hoosier apartment.
[Or house, but that didn’t rhyme].
In case you don’t already know this [where have you BEEN?!], the official cross-country move date is next Wednesday, the 17th. I’m a busy bee packing up our L.A. life and doing all of those lovely moving things one does, like listening to the elevator music while holding for your gas company, color-coding cardboard boxes and dancing to movie soundtracks.
Obviously, I’m a bit loopy from the Sharpie fumes, so posting will end. See you tomorrow!
e.
ew packing!
indiana huh. you should move this weekend and stop by the massive Renegade craft fair going on! :)
i love the loopy feeling from sharpie markers – have a sniff for me ;). pace yourself as though you’re in a marathon – it will be over soon enough.
well, if you blow through kansas on your way, we’re right on I-70. stop by & i’ll take you out for a good midwestern brew :)
Less than a week away!! Cindy’s right, it will be over soon enough. Have a good night. ♥
No sharpies here, Just rubbermaid like containtors and two suitcases.. I’m flying across Canada the day before you start your journey :)
best of luck with the move dearie!:)
Those Sharpie fumes will get you every time! The best way to pack? Great music, lots of friends and a buzz-worthy drink or two. =) Good luck!
Good luck with your packing! I’ve moved cross country so many times and it’s exhausting and exhilarating. I freakishly enjoy all that sifting and sorting… and Sharpieing :)
Where are you moving to? We are looking to do a cross country move in the near future. I’m nervous!
oh, i totally understand, im moving on tuesday… away from LA and to Austin. good luck on your moving-roadtrip and take lots of pictures for us
Mmmmm…sharpie fumes.
Happy smooth moving to you.
Happy packing Erin. I love sharpie fumes.
here’s to another beginning’s end…how’s that song go?
Best of luck with the rest of the packing. Remember not to inhale too deeply :)
Um…where’ve I been? Had no idea. HOW could I have missed that!?! So exciting…and I love the rhyme. OK I need more info…spill it, sister!
Awww, you guys are all so sweet to wish us well! Thank you!
And Melisa— will email you shortly. ;)
Oh! And Darci and Jess—good luck with your moves, too! :)
Erin, I don’t know how you do it all! The beauty of moving is that you finally figure out where everything went in those deep, dark drawers :)
Your wee song made me think of how much I hate boxes. I’ve been moving from house to house ever since I was a kid. I HATE packing!
I seriously have no idea how you still manage to keep this place lively and lovely as ever while doing this all.
Have an easy and light packing! good luck my dear with everything.:)
*hugs*
LA’s loss is Indiana’s gain. I will be expecting that phone call when you cross the border. Welcome home.
Best of luck with your move and best wishes for this new phase!! We’re contemplating a big move from NYC to Vermont and yikes! we have to decide today!! So many emotions which I’m sure you are experiencing as well. I’ll be sending good thought your way…
Oh Erin, just think… a week from now, you will be curled up in your new thinking spot with the dogs at your feet.
xoh
good luck packing and moving!!
Lots of LUCK! I hate packing too, but it’s always exciting to be moving a new place – hang in there! Oh, and I love the smell of sharpie…and probably the little high you get from it – I KID!
we are glad your packing is coming along…it makes us very excited little buggers!
oh the sweet anticipation of transformation
from current location to the destination
i love me a good rhyme.
hope you find joy in the chaos!
This made me laugh out loud!
I love/hate moving.
Good luck :)
hello dear – hope the packing is going better – I can relate – sadly, we are still living out of some boxes and have not even unpacked others!
Look forward to seeing you soon!!! When will you be up for visitors???
oh best of luck with it all Erin! I spent much of last year packing and unpacking and moving from place to place, so I share your pain. Hope you’re having a great weekend nonetheless :)
Good luck with your packing and moving!!! Here’s to a new life!
best of luck with your move! I feel your pain…I’m still looking for a place out here in Vancouver so I’m still living out of boxes at the moment.
I totally sympathize with you about packing…I have a love hate relationship with that!! At least it gives you a chance to clean out and throw away things you don’t need, but it’s tedious at the same time! Good luck with your move this week!! I hope you have good weather and good luck with your vehicles and moving with pets! Where in Indiana will you be going to? I grew up on the border of Illinois and Indiana just outside Chicago (but I have a feeling you are going to be more in the central part of the state)!
best of luck darling!!!
I was so in LA this weekend. I should have let you know but i wasn’t sure what the move date was!
Hang in there!
i have been moving too, and now am catching up on 84 new dfm items! good luck with everything…and with the unpacking next! i’m still doing it!
