it's early here - not really early...but rich has just arrived to double check the floor paint in the warehouse...and touch up a couple of spots...and then we are both going home - me to put my hands in a bucket of warm water and see if i can get the kinks out of them...and of course, to help mr. bear supervise the many bowl games that are on today. living on the west coast - our rosebowl game is in the afternoon instead of the evening...so we have lots of opportunities for lots of games today...
we are moved...we made it...and were totally out of the other space yesterday by 10:30 a.m. it's always the last smootz stuff that gets brought over...stuff that you say to yourself "no, why in the hell did i want to save this and bring it over?" and then the decision is made when you are of clearer mind and soul - and out to the NEW dumpster it goes and you promise yourself never to make those kinds of mistakes again - but we always do...it's just one of those things.
my new office has carpet in it - i have to get a floor doodle or really build up the calf muscles pushing out from my desk - i had forgotten what it was like to have carpet in here - the rest of the shop and the warehouse are all cement floors which are so incredibly easy to clean...but in here - it's carpet and thus.....
we should have some pictures up by monday of the new place, annie and i going to work on monday getting the last of it in semi-order...but, this has been quite the stressful time - i have never packed in 2 weeks and moved over the holidays - it all worked - thank heavens...but the last move we had 2.5 months to pack - this time - not so much - we had to be out of there. i think this new place will be just wonderful...and i'm very excited about it all...it was just a tremendous amount of work and i am so blessed to have friends, co-workers, husbands and sons who came and busted their behinds to get us over here on monday so the movers could come for the heavy stuff on tuesday. and then one of them was silly enough to show back up here on wednesday and worked her behind off again - i am truly blessed. not only did we have the physical support but we also had a huge fan club cheering us on from afar...and i knew everybody was there - pushing us to get it finished and to make it all right..... stressful times...but that's for another time and place.
i'm heading over to the web site now and will cross post this but we wanted to wish you all a happy new year and let's make 2010 a good year - i was so ready for 2009 to be finished... so very ready indeed!!!!! HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
