70% moved

sorry for the blog absence but i've been overly consumed with packing, moving and unpacking...and frankly, this #(*# is making me bananas.  i'm soooo exhausted and can't wait to go back to a life with less chaos and less clutter!

half of my sectional in its temporary home on the top shelf of the warehouse

the movers came on friday to pick up all the large furniture and deliver it to the new condo.  our moving day just happened to coincide with apec and luckily, we didn't get stuck in any traffic.  anywho, trying to squeeze allllll of our furniture into a space less than half of what we previously had has proved to be a quite a challenge.  i measured everything and made a cute little floor plan...but everything was thrown out the window when half of my sectional wouldn't fit in the elevator (reason #328,231 why condo living sucks donkey balls).  so, we had to pay the movers to take it to storage...except that it wouldn't easily fit through the door/hallway to our second floor storage area...so it's presently sitting high in the sky on a pallet in the warehouse instead.  but, the other part of the sectional is in the condo and let me tell you, it looks extremely lame without it's partner so we'll be taking this piece to storage as well.  yes, a major p.i.t.a.

our new home looks like a tornado hit with boxes and stuff everywhere.  there just isn't time to put things away right now as our main focus is to just get everything out of our house so we can hand over the keys at the end of the week.  we have a few more rooms to go and the garage.  and because we're in a rush, the hubby is pretty much randomly throwing all of our to-be-stored-items into the storage rooms so after we move out and organize our new home, we'll have to organize our storage >.<  it's a vicious cycle and makes me wanna burn all of our belongings already.  i hope that living in a smaller space will force us to get rid of more stuff!!!  

don't laugh but i even managed to pack and move this lovely collection of 26 colorful gelato spoons, 15 roasted chestnut openers and 33 plastic food containers...and then tonight, i put everything in the plastic recycling bin in the building.  yes, i have issues.
