What and Where

As some of you are aware, I am currently in the process of moving and as all of you know – that is one crazy, stressful event! In retrospect, should I have started sorting and packing my things a few weeks ago when the ultimate decision to move was finalized? Should I have shelled out the extra hundreds to hire some hopefully responsible movers to take charge of the boxes and boxes of stuff we (alright, I) have accumulated through the years?

Finally, should I have booked myself a nice weekend get-away in Miami and told E I have a Yoga Meditation Conference in Boulder, Colorado? Yes, yes and a resounding yes! But – as THE great procrastinator that I am, I did none of that. What I did was execute a plan, in my head, on how to pack my properties (not one is in the category of real estate properties but let’s not nitpick here people!), pack the long and hanging accessories in padded boxes, tissue wrap the breakables and manually carry the dresses in its original, appropriately picked hangers.

Sidenote: I'm actually not sure if there's a Yoga Conference in Boulder Colorado but I thought there's a nice ring to saying Boulder, Colorado!

So, as many good things that marinate in my head, this one remained soaked in and never implemented. But hey, it’s the thought that counts, isn’t it?

I’m sorry I haven’t visited you guys for a few days now. As you can see, I’m one hot pink mess right now! Once I dig myself out of the shoeboxes and the endless amount of rolled up socks (what can I say, Canada is beyond frikkin’ cold!), I promise, you’ll see my pretty li’l head in your blogs!

And oh, you signed up for the 20 York Street’s Mysterious Project here, didn’tcha? You didn't? Nooo, it's only like The Easiest Blog Project Ever!

Miss ya!

Jan said...: I think it's completely unfair and inaccurate to refer to anything in this outfit as "mess". It's stunning and perfectly assembled, as you always are my dear. Happy moving - I know how stressful that can be. I can only recommend, moving in cocktails to ease the pain...; February 2, 2011 at 2:32 p.m.
Ashelle said...: Packing can be the worst, especially when it's left to the last minute. Which I usually do too. The best solution: getting your girlfirends to help you out with sweet drinks. Hopefully the move goes well. With all the stress, it will feel good once you are in the new place.; February 2, 2011 at 8:44 p.m.
Ashelle said...: BTW. You look great! Loving the pink. <3; February 2, 2011 at 8:44 p.m.
Jen HaHA said...: Hot in hot pink, yes! Mess? No! Fab outfit! So, to where are you moving? Like across town or cross-country? Not that I'm stalking you. Hope you get some downtime soon!

Laura said...: I fully understand how you feel. Especially those of us who over stuff our closet(s) and own a 100 pairs of shoes. If I had to move after Four years in my house, OY VEY! I would die. And you, yourself are a far cry from a mess. Your stuff at the moment, but certainly not you. Your waist is so teeny, tiny in that belt. And you certainly are wearing some Bright Colorful Hot Pink. It looks fabulous on you ML.

Brittany D'Lynne said...: I'm not sure how I missed this outfit but you look amazing! Hope the moving's going well. I'd hate to show you what I look like while moving... :P; February 7, 2011 at 10:38 p.m.
20 YORK STREET said...: I read through your comments over and over again and it's like my quick acting dose of Prozac! Thank you for all the kindness and generosity in spirit!
