When was the last time you moved?!

Why does it feel like I've moved into a warehouse storage facility?? It's been less than a week, and I'm still surrounded by cardboard boxes. Some people claim it takes weeks to get unpacked, but I'm WAY too impatient for that.

Besides, moving to a new state takes some getting used to ...

- I can't remember our new phone number because the area code sounds funny.
- The TV listings in new local paper look funny.
- So do the tv channel numbers (NBC isn't Channel 4, it's 7. How long will it take to get used to THAT?)
- Actually, entire new local paper looks funny. Same with local tv news.

Maybe once we've unpacked I'll get used to everything. It's not all strange - my new grocery store is huge and it rocks, and the new apartment is twice the size of my last one. I'm just looking forward to feeling settled in!

How long did it take YOU to unpack, the last time you moved??

Cheers, Lara

Well, the last time I moved I finally broke down and paid professional movers to pack and move us to the other side of town...west side to eastside, anyway they packed and moved furniture and unpacked at the new house in less than 4 hours...I was shocked. They even put the labled boxes in the correct room, a box of kitchen stuff was not in the bathroom. like it was when I usually do all the packing and moving..my new neighbors welcomed us to the neigborhood and one neighbor even told me how to get to the nearest grocery store, the best cleaners, best daycare and the neighborhood schools. I did receive a few coupons to local bakeries and hardware store too...I must admit, this was the best move I ever made.
