Aaaaaaaand I'm spent.

No energy to write much-- but here are some photos of the new place (complete with my pigeon neighbors) ... enjoy! :)

MOVING!! AHH!!

I had no idea I was so fashionable! This nice lady from this blog: inventingweddings made my comb into a really stylish idea!! :) hehe I especially love that ring at the bottom. She has a rundown of where you can buy stuff at her blog.

Anyway, the real reason I am writing this blog:

NO INTERNET TILL FRIDAY!! Ah!! The official move-in is taking place and the cable guy is coming then (between the hours of 8 and 5 haha). SO, what this means for you:

1.) If you purchase something, I won't be able to mail it out until MONDAY.

2.) If you ask me a question, I won't be able to answer it until FRIDAY.

Thanks for understanding! I will be soooooooo happy when all this is taken care of and I can get down to some serious Etsy business again :)

Notice to whichgoose customers: The shop will closed starting Wednesday night until I can get my new Internet connection started! (Hoping by Friday).... I will be as sad as you will be, I'm sure!! hehe

I feel a bit on the frazzled side of life.

I'm about half-way moved out of here, and half-way moved in to my new place.

Rich and I spent all of yesterday hauling stuff. 

Anyway, as I was strapping my worldly possessions into the back of his truck, I was struck by just how much of them I have. Like really, why do I need all six seasons of King of the Hill on DVD? 

>sigh<

On the up-side, my old one-room apartment (of which I am inhabiting until Thursday) is looking BIG. I've got some serious floor space now that it's getting emptied out! 

We tried to do a little romantic dance last night on the floor, but alas, Rich has no rhythm :) He tries though.  

Have yourself a good cry.

(MOVING...AH! My life in boxes.)

I'm a crier. I cry at sad movies, I cry at happy movies. I cry at romantic movies, even (sometimes) the end of intense action movies! But I especially cry from music. I'm sure driving down the road is dangerous for me most of the time because I frequently tear up!

But, with so much routine put into crying, I tend to depend on it for a stress relief when I'm stressed out. And what other time does one get stressed out more except when they are in the process of MOVING!

So, I have compiled a few videos of songs that will give me (and maybe you!) some happy tears.

It's healthy, I think :)

Here's "Baby Mine" from "Dumbo."

Here's "Bring Him Home" from "Les Miserables." (Sorry about the captions...lame.)

Here's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from "Meet Me in St. Louis." (p.s. I am SO excited for Christmas this year!! Don't know why. I was totally not into it last year....)

What did I miss? What makes YOU cry???

Branching out

SO---I made my first hat. I've done some crochet work in the past, but this is some hard-core sewing!

I made it all by hand, all by me-self :)

I'm sure the next one will go quicker and more neatly, but this first one has more charm to it, I think.

BIG NEWS! I move into my new apartment this month!! How exciting. AND--It will have my very own Etsy studio room!! WHOO!

You can't imagine how much of a step up this is for me! Right now I have:

--one room

--no washer or dryer

-- no dish washer

-- no cable TV

--- one bathroom

It's like I'm living in the woods! (Oh, and props to Thoreau for the quote ... he knew all about living in the woods.)

I will put up pictures as soon as I finish DECORATING! Ah..the best part of any move. :)

Also, I think a trip to IKEA is in order.  

Sweedish meatballs...mmmmm....
