Packing, Packing and more Packing

I have realized that I have a lot of stuff, glasses galore and bowls and dishes like you would not believe. I have now gone through and packed most of it up, and now just a few more things left to pack up. The balcony is fairly full of containers and boxes and the movers are all booked to pick everything up on the 31st and then to deliver it all on April 3rd. Matt and I and the kids are staying in a hotel for 2 nights and not totally looking forward to it. On the second we will have to sleep on the floor at the house. Wish us luck with the move.
We have also been looking at different options for TV and internet and thinking of cancelling our home phone and just using the cell phones which I think is a better idea. We found a really cool idea for HDTV and it is an antenna and says it receives up to 69 HD channels which I do believe would be great and it is only a one time purchase of an antenna for about 20 dollars, which will save us a whopping 75 dollars per month. Enough to plan a trip every year if we took that money and put it away. Also with cancelling home phone we will save another 29 to 40 dollars a month. It truly all adds up and a lot, crazy how much these companies can charge you for this crap.  Internet is expensive enough!
Matt has been hard at work on line doing kitchen plans and looking at appliances for our new home and the ideal set up of our cabinets and storage for the kitchen. So far what he has come up with is gorgeous and I am sure we  can do this within a budget again, we have before. Just takes some smart shopping and a lot of luck.
The dogs and cats know something is up as all of our stuff is now in boxes. Sparky has been enjoying playing amongst all the boxes and containers on the balcony. Lots of hiding places and sleeping on the empty suitcases, well empty for now. Matthew is making a shopping list right now so I guess we are heading out to get groceries soon and pick up some cleaning supplies and food for the week. After all it is Friday. Have a great weekend and your gay neighbor will be back soon.
