Another annoying moving post and life in general

I'm really sick of all my blogs being about the move, but.. it is what is going on in my house right now.

I've just spent the last 3 nights sorting through my marthas. It has gone okay. I hadn't realized I have 10 years of the stupid things. I' ve gone through about 20 of them and pulled out pages I like and can't live without. I was actually doing it the other night at my girlfriend's house (we have craft night once a month for Relief Society) and they were mocking me when I showed them what I wanted to keep. "How to properly load a dishwasher" and "How to fix a wobbly chair". I thought they both sounded interesting and potentially useful. However, after 3 days of this.. I'm ready to just chuck them all and be done with it. Seriously- what is the likelihood that I will EVER look at these things again? I keep asking myself that very question and have come to the conclusion that it is highly unlikely.

I have finally gotten some of my moving list done. I had 3 full pages of notes of things I needed to do, like arrange utilities, change mailing address, etc. I finally got several of them done. Including setting up my electricity. In TX we have the option to use Green Mountain which is an electric company that uses renewable energy sources. I have been uncertain of whether the cost difference (it isn't much) was worth it, but for my own peace of mind I had to go with the environmentally friendly option. I'm interested to see how it will go. We haven't had to pay utilites while we have lived here (it has always been included in our rent), so.. we are really going to have to tighten our belts when it comes to cooling/heating our apartment.

I was hoping to see An Inconvenient Truth (the Al Gore documentary on global warming) this week, but I don't think it will be happening. We still have yet to really get packing. We have purged quite a bit, but not nearly enough. We also need to get packing and it seems like we have several things going on this weekend. Adam said he would see it, but wasn't really excited about it. I have no issue going to a movie by myself, so I'm sure I can figure something out.

I've been feeling a bit under the weather. Nothing major. The other night we were invited to a birthday party for a close friend and because I wasn't feeling well Adam and Lulu went without me. Everyone asked where I was, and Adam told them I wasn't feeling well. They asked if I was pregnant. SO- why is it that when a woman doesn't feel well, we automatically jump to that conclusion? I do the same thing, but it seems kind of ridiculous. Heaven forbid I just didn't feel well. I wasn't mad, just a thought.

It has been a long week at work. I had someone in reviewing my work. They come ever quarter, so I'm used to it by now, but I still hate the stress of it. Everything has gone well and my records are actually in really good shape. Thank heavens. I was a little worried.

I really enjoyed Tasha's post on the Dixie Chicks yesterday/today. I've actually been thinking about the topic the last couple of days (I just heard Landslide on the radio.. where have the chicks been?). I started thinking about freedom of speech and the responsibility that also goes along with it. Although- sometimes I question the price paid to speak your mind.

I just finished watching Gladiator on TBS. I really enjoyed the movie. I especially love the soundtrack. My yoga teacher plays it every once in awhile when we are resting at the end of class. I think it is really great music for Sunday. I forgot how much I like the movie and enjoy the cinematography. Very beautiful. How odd- they are playing it again-- it just barely ended.

I guess I should get to bed. It is late and I'm tired.
