Move from Atlanta to LA: a jet lagged, cat hair covered bonanza.
Now mind you, I am still under the firm grip of jet lag, so take everything I write with a grain of sea salt.
As you know, if you have been paying attention, we have been slowly moving our lives from Atlanta to Los Angeles over the past month. If you have not been paying attention, you might want to recap, as there will be a test later.
In the past 10 years, we have moved from NY to Boston, Austin, Atlanta, Seattle, back to Atlanta and now here for our careers. Therefore, one c o u l d consider us pros when it comes to moving.
H o w e v e r... just putting in my "Buh Bye" at CNN's main bureau in the ATL was tough enough.
Then we had to hurry up and wait...
Finally, this past Friday, everything happened in a fury of flying dust bunnies and paint. The packers came and packed up everything, including the lint behind the couch. The WWE army of movers swiped every box, every item of furniture, every painting... all at once... and wrangled them into the truck in a matter of minutes. Thank god it was not PPV, or I would have felt cheated.
The cats hid in the bathroom.
The car shipping company came to take "Rudy" the Mini Cooper on a flat bed. The movers did however point out that they could have easily just put it in the back of the moving van.
Next thing we know, we are sitting in an empty house, with just a few bags and some very annoyed cats. Oh little did they know... that was nothing.
After saying our goodbyes to all our friends at Kavarna, promising all of them a room to crash in, we headed back to the barren house with our friend Courtney to drug the creatures. "Just give the 4 mil of Childrens Grape Benedril...", the vet nonchalantly explained.
Suuuuuuuuureeeeeee..... little did we know that by the time we were done torturing our poor furry children, they would be foaming purple stuff out of their noses, and Boo's chin would be stained purple for many a day after.
