I’m trying to figure out what we are going to have for dinner tonight. We’ve had our fill of (homemade) burgers, and I need to make dinner tonight!

So… what are you having for dinner tonight?

Since I’m asking you to share, I”ll share a couple of recipes that we’ve had the last week:

Mini Turkey Burgers – really good!
Bow Tie Lemon Chicken – This is really good, but I scaled it down to a 2-serving recipe, and I started the chicken/sauce sooner than I should have. Next time we do this, we’re going to cube the chicken instead of leaving it in strips, and we’ll cook the pasta before we start the sauce, or just follow the 4-serving sauce recipe.

Apparently, there are new neighbors downstairs.

Apparently, they also think I’d enjoy listening to their (c)rap music.. er, well, the BASS from their (c)rap music.

Someone somewhere on the other side of the complex, or maybe it’s the complex across the street, has had their dog outside all day. The poor thing has been whining–not whimpering, not barking, but practically crying out for help…or at least to be let in–all freaking day. I thought it was just the wind blowing earlier in the day, but the wind isn’t blowing now. I hope they let the dog in soon, for its sake as well as my ears’ sake.

Well, I guess, technically, *our* new place, but since I”m the only one whose been there so far, it’s mine. haha

I’m hanging out at mom’s for the weekend, however. Mother’s Day and all, so I won’t get to stay there until Monday night.

Old Apt rent thru May: Paid.
New Apt rent thru May: Paid.
Movers: Paid.
Walmart, for a couple of necessities: Paid.

The movers ended up being on time/early, depending on which quote you go by. I changed the time online and confirmed via telephone on Thursday, and they said they got the time-change, and we were good to go. Mom picked me up and we went to do the lease signing, and everything was happy-happy, joy-joy. We looked at the place and I started filling out the checklist. I have 3 or so days to get it back, so I’m going to finish it up Monday.

I’ll have pics up eventually. It’s a lovely, cute apt, and I’ll have to have everyone over soon. Like, after we get back from CA. And maybe get a couch, so ppl don’t have to sit on the floor. eheh.

I have a ton of cleaning to do at the old place, and I’m going to spend the rest of the week, until I leave, anyway, going over to the old place to clean up. I have a few more things (a box, max. plus my laundry basket) to make sure get packed up, but the rest of it’s just cleaning.

Time to catch up on email/blogs!

So yeah, I’ve been cleaning and throwing stuff away all day. I decided that I needed boxes, but there’s no way I’m going to be able to carry all of the boxes that I probably need home, sooo.. I ordered boxes. They’ll be here tomorrow, so I can’t really PACK anything today, but that gives me today to clean and clean and clean.

Things I also need to do:
- Get electricity turned on
- Look into renters’ ins.
- Contact SBC about phone/internet
- Continue cleaning/throwing crap away

I’ve decided that I’m going to do the unthinkable. I’m tossing almost all of my pictures.
Band pics? tossed.
Other pics? tossed.

Only because I have sooooooooo many.
I’m keeping the negatives… but if I were to keep the pictures, there’d be no room for Joe. haha. I have 6-7 photo/video boxes filled with photos. I have like 13 photo albums filled with pictures. I have 5? 6? binders full of negatives. I’m keeping the negatives. I don’t know where they’ll go, but I can’t toss the negatives. Maybe when I get a free day after all this stuff is done and people are settled, and I can breathe without wanting to kill someone, I’ll go through negatives & figure out which ones I really need to keep.

I know I”ll get sucked into looking at the pics… I’m going to keep some of my favorite friend/family/cat pics, but everything else is out the door.

It’s kind of scary.

Is it tonight yet? I need a sit-and-knit/watch-a-movie break.
