Moving paperwork continues...

So, after revisiting the paperwork again this morning, I realized that, on paper, the only thing that is required regarding the items in the house is a simple tally of what we want shipped in bulk and what we want shipped with us when we go.  There are weight restrictions, of course.  Together, we got most of it done: I did the first pass, and together we went through it all again, minus a few lines.  The bad news is we will be submitting this in a few days later than preferred, so we hope this won't screw things up too much.  However, it is DEFINITELY something that the both of us needed to go through.  I anticipated as much, but it always helps when your partner in crime feels the same way.

I got so hungry afterward that I ate an entire Bernatelli's thin crust pizza and a 2L of Fresca.  I didn't even bother cutting it into slices.  Holy moly!  Pop (soda/coke) is expensive now!  Retail price for a 12 pack of anything is $5.19!  I swear only 5 years ago it was $2.89.

I also will start kennel training Etsy tonight.  I've been dragging my feet because, as you can see below, she had no problem going in the very first time I brought it home.

However, I do need to get her used to being in it for possibly greater than 8 hours...that's how long the flight will be.  Doing this overnight won't be a problem.  I'll have to try doing that to her during the day too.  She is at home by herself for around that long while I'm at work anyway.

In other news, the clues for the treasure hunt are pretty vague this year.  Usually by Clue 7, the actual location is pretty obvious.  This year, most people still have no idea which park it is in.  I have resolved that it is hidden underneath a park bench, but I can't decide which park it could be.  Based upon the chatter online, most people don't seem to know either.

In the little spare time I had today, I discovered Freddie Wong on YouTube.  Wow.  Totally the next generation in film-making.  Infectious energy and fun...at least to the online, action, and gaming communities of the middle age and younger demographic.  They also appear to be genuinely nice guys who are doing what they love to do and have recently begun to get paid for it.  They are very inspirational in that regard, and every person's dream.  I, at least, very much appreciate them as I would consider myself very much in their target audience.

To end this post with a bang, I received a late wedding gift today.  One of my wife's good friends made us a quilt.  I didn't completely unfold it because it is quite sizable and I had to pretty much pack it back up again.  Nonetheless, the color selection is wonderful!  I can't wait to use it in Germany.
