A Not So Quickie Update

Project: Unpack Before Will Gets Back From The JMT is well underway, despite its lengthy title (and despite the curveball he threw me...he's coming home a week early!).

I've made lists of things I need to buy, and with the help of a few friends, have actually gotten quite a bit of unpacking done. Dude, I did like, 5 boxes tonight. Because I like to organize my brain in lists, here's a little list of to-do's. Warning: it's long. This is the next two weeks of my life. Starting with...tomorrow.

  • Thursday after work
    • get a massage oh yeah woo hoo!
    • Google+ hangout with Aly
    • unpack swag bag suitcase from BlogHer
    • pack bag for LA (going home this weekend)
    • mail something to Will. It's tricky, because he gets to his next resupply in 4 days, and the one after that only 6 days or so after that. So I have to get on it. And possibly pay for some quick shipping. Hopefully I don't have to do this Friday/Saturday, but I might have to. 
  • Friday after work
    • fly home
  • Saturday
    • relax with the folks, maybe ship a package to Will? Send Lyz her post-blogher "left behind" package?
    • evening dinner with Los Angeles bloggy ladyfriends
  • Sunday
    • Disneyland!
  • Monday
    • Fly home in the morning
    • Disqus beach trip in the evening
  • Tuesday after work
    • pilates!
    • unpack something! 
    • move gift wrap stuff to guest room
    • assemble kitchen cart, assuming it's arrived? maybe wait for a friend to help with this one.
    • do some laundry? I can only assume I'll have a ton by then.
  • Wednesday after work
    • ballet...hopefully I'll find my shoes by then
    • dinner with a visiting friend (Hi, Rachel)
    • unpack? assemble kitchen cart?
  • Thursday after work
    • happy hour officewarming party fun times at work
    • Reed flies in
  • Friday
    • take the day off work, spa day! I have a feeling this will be much-needed.
    • evening at IKEA :)
    • main closet organization?
    • dinner at Biere or Homeroom?
  • Saturday
    • brunch? 
    • pick up stuff I bought from Steve & Kate's Camp in El Cerrito
    • Target run?
    • unpack, assemble IKEA furniture (bookcase, dresser, tv stand)? 
      • Taskrabbit the assembly while we unpack?
      • reorganize office/guest room furniture?
    • dinner at Biere or Homeroom?
  • Sunday
    • unpack
    • Reed flies home
    • haircut
  • Monday after work
    • NOTHIN BUT UNPACKING!
  • Tuesday after work
    • pilates
    • unpack 
    • make sure things are tidy enough for the housekeepers to come tomorrow
  • Wednesday after work
    • ballet 
    • walk around the house, marveling at how clean it suddenly is (hopefully)
    • unpack - can I please be done unpacking by this time?
  • Thursday after work
    • office managers meetup night?
  • Friday
    • drive to Yosemite to pick up Will!
    • Sara B concert at Shoreline
    • sleep over in San Carlos?
  • Saturday
    • Monterey Bay Aquarium with Katherine.
  • Sunday
    • lounge around all day with Will, finally.
    • Sleep.


Unpacking schedule may vary based on my mood.  Things to unpack: pots and pans (waiting on kitchen cart), books (waiting on 2nd bookshelf), movies (waiting on tv stand), games, tech crap, office stuff, canned food, dresser stuff...and I feel like there are more things but I don't want to walk around the living room taking inventory right now.

I think it's reasonable, though looking at the list makes me feel a little crazy.  I can do it!!?

PS no plans (well, besides Tues Pilates and Weds ballet) the week after this list of wonders...except oh wait, that next weekend we fly to Washington for a wedding, and the one after that we go to Colorado, and the one after that probably a wedding in Santa Barbara (travel plans permitting), and then we will both crash and sleep for a few days?


I feel lucky to have so much awesome in my life, but um, am I a crazy person?  Seriously, please let me know.  I'll be in bed.

  2. I think my life is overwhelmingly busy and then I look at your list and die a little. My goodness. I don't know what else to say. Except that your house is beautiful, your life even more so, and it's totally all worth it.
