No, no, no not POAB or anything cool like that {actually that would be a headache to move to a different server/company and Mr. Not So Paleo would probably demand shrimp for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I ever made him do it — because you bet your bottom dollar I’d mess it up if I ever tried, so I’d make him do it!}
Anyhoo — We as in: Mr. Not So Paleo, Evil Primal Kitty, Primal Puggle and myself are moving! We’ve found a bigger place, with a nicer kitchen, and an oven that I won’t have to babysit. Is it more money per a month? Sadly, yes…is it worth it? Absolutely! So that means I’ll be extra POAB for the next few months until we get all settled into a new routine!
It’s exciting, but a daunting task. Why? Because this other big super big surprise I have for you is happening at THE SAME TIME. I’m that cool kid that can’t just take on one project at a time — I’ve got to have like 10 going at once, no big deal. I’ll sleep sometime next year, or the year after.
Did I mention we’re also shooting all of our engagement sessions between now and the move date? No? Oh well we are! Like I said we’re cool kids {that’s right hunny, I said you’re a cool kid!}.
So what does this mean for you lovely folks? You might notice that I go quiet and don’t do a few regular updates for the next few weeks while I’m packing and working on said super big surprise + moving.
You might be wondering, how big is this surprise? It’s so big that only a few family members and Mr. Not So Paleo and a handful of other people know about it. And you know me — I’m a talker. I’m having a hard enough time not stopping someone in the street and being like “GUESS WHAT” never mind keeping it from you lot! But…. I think I’ve got like three weeks left before I spill the beans. Unless I break sooner, which is totally liable to happen.
Also after Moving Day I’m going write up an epic post on my tips for moving on a budget {heck you might even see some hilarious statuses and pictures posted on moving day}! Because oh, this will be a cheap move. I’ve budgeted around $150.00 for the WHOLE MOVE. Lucky for me — I’m using my sister as slave labor, I mean — she generously volunteered to help me move and works for food? Yes, let’s go with that statement instead of the whole slave labor thing.
Want to know something wicked funny? I’ve already started packing up some of my kitchen stuff I won’t use till post-move-in and umm… I’m already at 6 boxes and donated an additional two boxes. Apparently this is a sign that I am in fact, a food blogger. And my apartment looks like a war-zone.
See? That’s only a part of my kitchen packed up! Minus one of the small boxes! It’s crazy, I know. I have a I-Cook-Too-Much Problem!
And before you ask me why I bought boxes — I only bought enough for my kitchen and a few fragile things, the rest are coming from free sources like the grocery store. I’m way to in love with my kitchen supplies to trust them to grocery store boxes. It might be weird I know — but it makes sense to me 🙂
I’ll keep you posted on the moving progress and on the super big secret surprise as we move right along {get it…move along — haha!}!
Happy Friday!
…big, fat, paleo baby? The suspense is killing me!
Hahah Tasha — No big, fat, paleo babies yet!
I soooo feel you. We get our keys on monday. so excited to have a bigger kitchen!!! OMG. I’ve been pretty silent though since this is all just such a huge undertaking. And I being like you, decided to also take on a project where the deadline is april 20th. The day after we are supposed to be finally all IN our new apartment. HA! Fun stuff. So crazy. Glad to know I am not alone! good luck <3
