My new school is small.
My new school is quaint.
My new school smells of pine and fir trees
of fresh mowed grass and roses
Where art is tucked into every corner.
There it is...my new school.
Stay groovy,
M

My new school
I've settled into my new job so I thought I'd give y'all a bit of a tour.
My new school is small.
My new school is quaint.
My new school smells of pine and fir trees
of fresh mowed grass and roses
Where art is tucked into every corner.
There it is...my new school.
Stay groovy,

The big adventure starts soon
First off I'd like to apologize for being a bad blog friend. I haven't posted in for ever and I've barely visited your blogs. I do have an excuse. One that many of you know about but for those that don't, I've was offered and accepted another job.
This job is 2300 miles from Houston. We will be moving back to the state of Washington, putting us closer to our children, closer to my mother and closer to the friends we grew up with. Everyone is happy. When I told my mother I thought she was going to cry...or wet herself (I mean she is at an age that that is a reality, you know).
So now the planning, packing, and driving begin.
I'm in charge to logistics. Finding a new home to live in, setting up all the utilities, reserving the moving truck and most importantly dealing with all the financials. This is the part I'm good at it seems.
JR is in charge of packing. Packing and driving the rental truck.
In most of our recent moves and there have been too many local one for my liking, JR has been in charge of packing everything we own in boxes. He has become something of an expert. Rarely do we get to our destination to find something broken or missing.
I'm sure you all will be pretty tired of me talking about this whole process so I'll try to keep to my same rarely posting schedule in order to not bore you silly.
Stay groovy,
M

Some moving quirks
I have a couple a quirks about moving. Okay, I have a lot of quirks in general but will only enumerate those that have to do with moving.
1. Shower heads. The first thing that I do when moving into a new space is replace the shower heads. Lots of times I take the one from one place to another but this time we bought a new one for the master bedroom and will move the one in our old master bedroom to the guest room.
This is the first time that I have investigated the water flow rate. Usually, I just take out the flow restricter valve but the manufacturers have gotten pretty fancy with the design these days that this doctoring much harder. I didn't want to spend an hour and $60 tossing another shower head out because I've messed it up. Hence, the investigation.
I like to buy hand held models for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons is that I find them easier to clean the tub and wash the dog.
We bought this fancy one yesterday after lunch. It is a mid-priced one with a 2.5 gallon per minute flow rate. We'll see if it does the trick.
2. Feng shui. Yes folks, I am that weirdo. I take the floor plan and over lay the feng shui bagua then design around it.Of course, I never really buy much to achieve this, I normally shop my own stuff.
3. My studio is almost always set up first. Case in point...the movers don't show up until this coming Saturday but we have already mostly have the studio done. This townhouse is a little tricky since I have to share it with guests but we'll make it work.
4. Before I pack my old kitchen I ready the new one by putting shelf paper down on all the shelves and drawers. This is something about other people's food crumbs. I have a problem with that and I don't care if the complex has brought in a cleaning crew. I still have to clean and put paper down. I do this with the bathrooms also.
It seems like we have had to move a lot in Houston but we are hoping this will be the last one until we buy a house. I totally get that some of you haven't had to move in forever but if you do what are some of your moving quirks?
Love,
M
