Moving Right Along

Posted in My Life, Little Red House by n. mallory | .

O.K. Now that I’ve gotten someone (my mother) to admit that I’m probably right (the movers probably did take things from my house during the move for whatever reason — to sell on ebay), I’m ready to move on. I just wanted someone to admit that I wasn’t crazy and that there was just too many coincidences for me to somehow to just be overlooking these items in the house.

I finally got my mother to stop saying, “Well, you know, there’s still stuff I haven’t found from our move 5 years ago…” by cutting her off with “But I don’t have a big friggin’ barn out back with unpacked boxes! 99% of my boxes are unpacked. This house isn’t that big! There’s no where else to hide!”

I might have been screaming the last part a little.

Anyway, so looking around, I realized that I can’t proceed further with the unpacking the last few boxes and putting away the clutter on the shelves and tables until I have, well, shelves.

I need to go ahead and design a wall system for above my desk in the craft room/office and buy the pieces and install it so I can finish putting away the office.
I need to go ahead and put together that lighted display cabinet I bought two weeks ago. Now I need it for my fairies rather than everything else.
I need some sort of coat hook rack in the kitchen for my coat, purse and Pugly’s leash. I also need to hang the key hook.
Once those are done, then I need to examine what still needs shelf homes and what wall space is left. I have lots of pictures and lots of windows and little wall space. I wish I could figure out how to hang pictures on those slanted walls/ceilings of the cape in the upstairs.

The good news is that my electric screwdriver and my new 29-bit set came yesterday. I wish my new ladder would get here.

I also want to change all of the locks on the doors and I want to change the door going from the dining room to the garage. Some previous owner put a storm door there rather than a regular door. I think I want to put a lock on that door (there isn’t one now) and remove the lock on the door going from the kitchen to the dining room, which I’ve been using as the house lock.

Anyway, I think I’ll try to get to Lowe’s for the ClosetMaid stuff this week before Christmas. A three day weekend and two building projects…I’ll probably get nothing done this weekend but watch HGtv.
