Finally, our kitchen and bathroom are getting painted next week. The painters are coming on Monday and supposedly will be able to get both rooms painted in one day. I’m not entirely convinced that some 80 year old man with a paint brush will not just show up and say he’s ready to get to work - but we shall see. The most annoying part is that we have to clear out all the kitchen cabinets & drawers and take everything out of the bathroom and remove everything from the walls - fun fun!
I’m getting ready to eBay stuff - we have some stuff we want to get rid of… I am also sorting through my pig ornaments to see which ones I want to keep and which ones I want to get rid of on eBay.

I am so full. We ate lunch at Chipotle earlier when we had to go to the post office, bank, and Target. We never eat out but decided we needed to have a pre-oral defense stress relief celebration. So, we celebrated by eating 2-3 lb. (they were HUGE) vegetarian burritos. That was at about 12:30 and I am *still* full. This is a miracle. I usually get so hungry that I have to eat every 2-3 hours but this is great. I am going on 4 hours now and I am not even a bit hungry yet! I need to learn to make giant Chipotle-like burritos at home. But where can I find 8 foot long tortillas? I would make them myself but I don’t have a pan large enough to make a Chipotle size tortilla.
I am selling a bunch of stuff on eBay currently. At any given time I seem to have at least 25-30 auctions going. It is really easy to run an eBay business once you get into the swing of things, I think. The moving preparations are moving along and we are on schedule. We are still a bit puzzled about the car issue though. We don’t want to have to rent a car when we get to Hawaii, we want to be able to buy a car right away or have a purchased car waiting for us upon arrival. We will figure it out though…
We are a one laptop family now. I am planning on getting another laptop soon after we arrive in Hawaii so that I can have my own. We have decided to go solely with laptops only from now on so that we can lower our power consumption. We are going to utilize solar power so we can only use/store so much energy.
Our next 5K is coming up next week. I really have not been running that much because I have been doing low impact things like the elliptical trainer because my knees felt stressed for a while because of the leg plyometrics and then my period. Also, I have just been tired from the weight training so I often don’t feel like doing much cardio. Not only is it boring but it makes me hungrier and I have to eat more. Eating more is bad because it is expensive and time consuming! But we will see how we do in the race. Brian has been better about his training than I have. He runs every week but I have only run several times since the last race. No matter how we do it will be really fun.
I made reservations for Brian’s graduation dinner party at the Melting Pot. He’s very excited about fonduing again. I hope the waiters sing “Happy Graduation to you” to him. That would be hilarious…

I am utterly exhausted and I still have a bunch of stuff to list on eBay. Also, some guy is supposed to come look at our bookcases this evening but it is edging towards 9 PM. Also, Brian is asleep on the bed in the room where the bookcases are. I would rather the guy not come tonight so Brian can get some sleep (and me too, I am exhausted mentally and physically). He is stressed out and exhausted from all the work he has been doing and the awful hours he has been keeping. I am just glad that it will all end soon for both of us…

Hooray. Today we drained the waterbed and threw out the water mattress. It was really disgusting. It was really like sludge with weird chunks in it. When we finally got it to the dumpster it busted open and water started gushing out from the foam stabilizer inside. Fortunately, we were able to get it into the dumpster with only our legs and feet getting soaked from it. Joy. Then, we deconstructed the bed frame and headboard and put them in the mouse house aka storage room. Fortunately, we took pictures of the bed and plan to sell it to someone. Anyone want a waterbed minus the water mattress? I will even throw in my autograph for free. That alone is worth the $200 we are asking. Any takers? 
We are also getting rid of crap on eBay to make more room and to get rid of clutter. We are also talking about never getting another waterbed or regular mattress ever again. Another waterbed will just leak and explode and a regular mattress will have nasty bed bugs in it and just be like a giant piece of carpet that you sleep on that makes you sneeze. Nasty. We will just sleep on air. It seems safer and cleaner all around. Besides, our bed cannot catch on fire or float away. The worst case scenario is that it pops and we have to buy a new one for $50.

Someone stole my eBay account and decided to sell over $10,000 worth of Apple Cinema displays. Some of these people paid this guy too. He is not very bright considering he actually changed my password using his local IP address. Brilliant.
