Movin on out (And My Mandy)

The move is nearing success. I really hope I didn't speak too soon, however I've been moving for like a week or something and I've survived that long, so aren't I entitled to say nearing success? The old house is nearly empty, one small load left and the new house looks and FEELS like home. Amazing how it feels like home, I didn't think it'd happen but here I am lounging on my couch in my new home feeling like... well, like it's my home. I've just got to say though, you never realize how much crap you have until you have to move it. And I'm apt to call myself Mary Poppins because stuff just keeps coming out of the small house we started in! We seriously thought we were close to done and today we thought we were doing the last minute stuff aaaannndddd.... we had enough stuff to fill up another small house (and there's still some left)! Where I kept it all this time beats me...

Also, I'd like to set one thing straight. MandyMy is one of my best friends. A couple people were a little concerned about her comment but the crazy thing is as soon as she left it, before I even approved it, I called her almost peeing my pants because of how funny it was to me. Mandy is a fellow widster and one of my very closest friends. I've never met her. I "met" her along this journey over the interwebs (internet girlfriend!) and we've developed this amazing relationship that I've grown quite fond of. She has been a pillar of strength to me and there is always a hilarious moment when we speak (which is usually daily but when it's not I hit Mandy withdrawals). We have several inside jokes and we both are on the "widow humor" train. Widow humor is just... dark and often sarcastic humor. My friends "in real life" have experienced this and sometimes I think it freaks some people out. But Mandy and I, well, we think we're hilarious. I so very much appreciate so many people sticking up for me but please don't attack My Mandy, I love her dearly and it's just one of the times that we think we're hilarious and other people think we're weird (happens every time we try to let someone in on one of our several inside jokes). I wish I could have written such a lovely post as she did, I'll chalk it up to my exhaustion and lack of internet over the past week that this comes off so rushed and leave it with an "I LOVE YOU MANDY, YOU ROCK MY SOCKS RIGHT OFF... even though it's my worse nightmare to have my socks rocked."

I'll be working on updating more frequently (and getting back to my long neglected photo challenge...) now that the interwebs are back in my place of residence but I can't make any promises, moving is time consuming! Holler 2011, new year, new place, new school, new possibilities. Ok, being overtired is making me way too optimistic. ;)
