the EAGLE has landed...

I've been MIA...ever since this guy came to town:

and left THIS in my driveway...

{only a 13 year old girl would want a photo shoot with a dumpster!}

We've spent 7 days sorting, throwing, organizing and throwing some more...I'm down to the attic and the bathroom closet today.  And I'm doing everything I can to ignore it and hope it will just go away on its own....but that's not likely to happen.
 
Yesterday I tackled my room....a virtual jungle of bedroom furniture, projects, junk and left-over business stuff.  I filled several trash bags, made garage sale piles and filled bags for Goodwill until my mom came, at which time we decided to do a little demolition of the desk and sewing area that has been here for years taking up space.  My bedroom gained about two feet in the process!  I hate that it takes moving to actually get this place in order!

It's heading towards 90 degrees here today, which means the attic is probably 100...and the longer I wait, the hotter it will be.  Ugh...

Only 2 more days with "Eagle"....not sure he can handle much more abuse from us. 
Next we're on to touch-up paint and a few other odd-job projects...

Hope the rest of you are enjoying the sun from the outside!

Around here...

THIS...

and THIS...

can only mean one thing....
It's official.
We're MOVING!

The thought of all the work is almost paralyzing.  BUT, in the end it is a good thing.  We will weed through the junk that appeared out of nowhere and start anew...decluttered.  {notice how often that word appears in the list above???}

I have about a month to cross everything off that list...
the goal is by May 1st there will be one of THESE in our front yard


and shortly after, one of THESE...

and probably one of THESE....

In order for that to happen we'll be working like crazy around here...
sadly, I might even need to rent one of THESE

I'm just saying....I don't think we're out and out slobs, but when you really get looking at things...

I've just started, but I'm pretty sure that every night for the next few weeks I will look like THIS...

 ...but maybe not in a house frock.
