We are now done with work (well - for 2 weeks for me and then I start doing some projects remotely), I have sold my car, and last night we said goodbye to a lot of our friends. Now we have a week filled with last minute things such as repainting the apartment since some people may not like a bright red living room and a bright blue bathroom, packing whatever isn't packed already, and going out to dinner a lot.

We have no less than 4 dinner dates and one lunch date this week with family and friends. We are also checking out Michael Symon's new restaurant Lolita on Tuesday and getting one last take-out meal from our favorite Cambodian restaurant (ok - it is the only one in town, but they're super-good) Phnom Penh. And the night we're loading the truck Kerry has offered to go in and get us take-out from one of Patrick's former employers incognito.

I am also realizing that moving involves lots of drinking. Ok - lots of drinking for me at least. I made my first batch of mojitos last night and they are now my new favorite drink. They are deceptively non-alcoholoc tasting too, but I think at least I stopped myself before I got stupid. Tonight Kerry has promised us mango cocktails. And Saturday we're going out for one last trip to Lava Lounge and they're giant cocktails (seriously, I usually can only drink one).

Finally Monday we return the (extremely crappy) rental car, pick up the uhaul, and load up the truck to move out eaarly Tuesday morning. |
