How Martha Were You?
It was a busy weekend with out upcoming move. We had a tag sale on Saturday morning to get rid of some last minute things and make some extra money for new apartment things (sofa!) It was so nice to be able to get a jump start cleaning the place by getting the keys early. So much cleaning because they had cats and Pricer is allergic! And of course it was sooo HOT over the weekend! It got up to 84 in the apartment, but thankfully Price borrowed a window fan for us and that helped with things.
Friday night-
Met Price at Haymarket to get fresh fruits and veggies
Made dinner together- grilled pork tenderloin and grilled veggies
More packing!
Saturday-
Got up early to set up for our tag sale and hang signs
Tag sale 8-1pm
While supervising the tag sale I went through past issues of Rachel Ray mag, Gourmet, Bon Appetite, and Martha Stewart Living to pull out recipes and articles for binders (overall 60+ magazines less to move)
Lunch from Pho Viets
Moved unsold things to curb- man people like free stuff!
Packed some more kitchen things
Dinner at Not Your Average Joe’s in Watertown
Stop at Target for cleaning supplies, including a mop
Packed up the car to be ready to get going in the morning
Sunday-
Got up, put on crappy clothes and headed to starbucks for so much needed caffeine before meeting our new landlord at 8am
Brought cleaning supplies in and got to work! Mopped living room over and over! Mopped bedroom and cleaned the dusty radiator, cleaned the countertops, cleaned freezer, etc
5 total trips to new place today
Got ready to go to a Full Moon Celebration Party for my friend Sarin
Drove to Providence and saw a guy on an OLD fashion bike. I had to jump out of my car right as I parked to get a pic!
Met baby Lucas!
Stopped at Home Depot on my way back up to Boston
Collapse in heap on The Cos and watch NASCAR race with Price
Monday-
7 trips to new place (I went on 5 trips with Price)
While Price was going back and forth I was mopping and cleaning the new place. So much animal hair!! I also put together the dog crate, which we just get to take apart this week when new one comes
We called it quits after 5 and went to the grocery store to get stuff for LAST grilling dinner with Natalie and Jason.
Shower my offensive smell off me and got ready for dinner
We had burgers with grilled veggies, chips with gauc and no pudge brownies with blueberries and whipped cream- great meal we put together
Loaded up the car with clothes and headed out to new place for last trip of the night. Soooo tired!
Tuesday morning-
Bring the car in for inspection and to get MA plates on the car
And then MOVING DAY!
If your new place doesn’t have an ac – I think you should get one if you’re allowed! You’re going to melt in July/Aug otherwise yikes. Oh and I use to love Not Your Average Joes. Haven’t been there in ages and I *think* like many other places they’ve changed the menu drastically since I’ve been. So sad. Miss the bread they start you out with.
