Well, the blog’s been in hibernation for basically all month now, and it still is, but I felt like re-capping some of the nifty factoids about our move.

1. If something inconvenient can happen it DOES happen- mainly the landlady wanting to come into our apartment a month before we are scheduled to move out.  I suggested she wait until the 9th of November so the apartment would be clean and empty.  She said, we’ll be there around noon.  She provided adequate notice but sometimes I have to wonder about people.
2. Friends are awesome all the time, but they are DOUBLE awesome during a move-  All of you lending your backs, brains, or vehicles to moving all of our junk to Madison, I anticipate an overflowing well of gratitude to each of you.
3. Packing-  Sorry, I just don’t like the feel of newspaper or cardboard, I get to feel both a lot this next week.
4. Simplify- If you’re moving it’s a great time to get rid of junk.  How do I define junk? (Junk= anything I’ve had for 9+ months that I can’t sell)  Junk goes in dumpsters.
5. Microwave Dinners- Easy way to make cleaning out the fridge less of a chore and more of an adventure.  We’re basically only eating microwave dinners to encourage ourselves to cook all that other food we’d purchased with the intent to cook it.
6. More to come- I’m sure the hardcore readers of Financingyourfamily.com have some interesting moving stories for me.  Feel free to comment about them.
