Again.

Guess what... we're moving... again. Surprise, surprise. I honestly should be really excited about moving because it isn't far away (approximately 30 yards south of where we live now) and it is so much nicer. But really, I hate moving. I hate finding a new place for everything, I hate unpacking boxes, I hate lifting heavy furniture, I hate updating my address for everything imaginable. My cousin and sister are coming to help, but that doesn't mean that I have to change my feelings towards moving.

I vaguely remember hearing that moving is a huge stress in life and so I decided to take a stress test. (I should point out that I took the test for Chad and I collectively.) Here are the results:

Your total stress score is 194

If your score totals 150 or more:
You have a 50-50 chance of developing an illness.

If your score totals 300 or more:
You have a 90 percent chance of developing an illness.

So Chad and I have a 50-50 chance of getting an illness. Just what we need. Actually, the test only let you check "change in residence" once and seeing how Chad and I will have moved four times in the past six months I think I should add the other three moves in. Ok, add 60 points to the score...

Our new score is 254! Holy cow. Apparently we have a lot to be stressed about. Oddly enough, we're quite happy and don't feel all that stressed... most of the time anyway. :)

Do you want to know your chances of getting an illness? Here is the link to the test, take it if you want.

Still an adorable couple?

I like to think that Chad and I are cute together. However, after seeing these pictures it is quite possible that I could change my mind. :)

My Cat is an Alien

I have finally obtained proof that Weechee is in fact from another planet... her eyes glow like alien eyes. Plus, she sleeps on top of our kitchen cabinets.

In case you needed more proof that my cat is crazy, here it is.

Our New Apartment

As per the request of several individuals, I have FINALLY decided to post a few pictures of our new apartment. Keep in mind the following: 1) The place was a dump when we moved in; there were small holes all over the walls, the walls were in severe need of painting, the carpet was fraying in places and had lots of stains, and the kitchen cabinets were all sticky from old grease. When I first saw the place I actually cried; 2) The place is still a dump. Lol. Actually it's not nearly as bad once we got our stuff unpacked and into it. Of course we cleaned and all that, but we didn't do any major touch-ups because we are hoping to move into one of the apartments that the complex is currently remodeling.

Just FYI, when you are looking at apartments make sure that they show you the actual apartment you would be moving into. Sometimes the one you see and the one you move into are not up to the same standard. Yeah, it stinks.

The kitchen. I am so excited that I finally have a table and chairs and a microwave!

Our bathroom. The toilet makes funny noises; it sounds like a frog. *ribit* *ribit*

Chad's "Man Cave." The window doesn't have any blinds so I have temporarily hung a blanket in their place.

Our bedroom. Despite the carpet I think it is pretty cute!

♪♫ Just you wait Henry Higgins, just you wait! ♫♪

Hee hee hee... I just love My Fair Lady! Chad and I were able to go see the play at Pioneer Theater last Wednesday night. We went with Chad's family and had so much fun. It made me really want to go watch the movie (Audrey Hepburn is amazing in it), but seeing as how I do not own it I might have to wait a bit.

Random thought. You know how Eliza sings that Henry Higgins song when she is really mad at Professor Higgins? Well I could substitute Chad's name in Henry's place and sing the song to Chad when I get mad at him. He'd appreciate it, don't you think? ;)
