Where we’re at, and a LoLoReview coming up!

Whew. Y’all, it’s Friday. Friday, May 28. That means that tomorrow is Saturday….and then Sunday. That, of course is followed by Monday (Memorial Day!) and then Tuesday. Do you know what happens on Tuesday? Well, I’ll bet Ming Wai could tell you. THAT’S the day the MOVERS come and put all of our STUFF into BOXES. (We will need an embarrassing amount of boxes. And probably a ridiculously large truck. I swear, moving is worse than getting weighed at a doctor’s office! STUFF is way easier to get rid of than weight, and still….and still. There is much stuff.) Wednesday is Loading Day, and Thursday is Fly Away Day. We are so excited….so very excited. It will be bittersweet, to be sure, but the Pacific Northwest will ALWAYS be home to me. And so…New England? It’s been real.
In other news? CSN Stores contacted me a few weeks ago about doing a Review, and I’m kind of excited about it. Remember that part where I said I was moving back to the Pacific Northwest? Well, ‘round these parts (read: New England) when you say you’re moving to Seattle, you ALWAYS get the same reaction. “You know it RAINS there, right?” Yes, dear New Englander. Thank you for your concern. Unlike crazy people who think moisture is supposed to hang around in the air, turning the entire region into a sticky sauna, I believe that moisture out to do what it was meant to do – make clouds, and then fall. And warm rain? Is something that should stay at tropical beaches.  So, yes, I’m looking forward to that rain, thankyewverymuch. It’s a great excuse to stay inside, read books, and bake cookies!
That said, while living here in New England, I have gained a new appreciation for rain boots. When it rains here, it really RAINS. You can wear shorts and flip flops…..and look like an idiot, or you can wear rain boots. (Apparently, I have been going the ‘idiot’ route the past two years.) Well, I shall be an idiot no more! For, along with everything from a sleeper sofa to awesome children’s toys, CSN Stores sells shoes, y’all. And shoes? Means rain boots. Oh yeah, baby. At really great prices, I might add. I shopped around, and haven’t found any rain boots for a lower price.
So. My To Do List looks kind of like this: Get ready for moving. Move. Get unpacked. Order sweet rain boots from CSN Stores. Wait for some rain to try them out (shouldn’t have to wait too long!). Come back and let y’all know if rain boots work as well as all these crazy New Englanders think they do.
Wish me luck! If I’m a little scarce this next week (or two!) you’ll know why.
*mwah* Aunt LoLo, over and out. (For now. ‘cause you know I can’t stay away long, and tend to ramble when I’m nervous. Heh.)
