Is This Real Life?

The moving company just called to tell me that they'll be here in about an hour. Should I start freaking out now? I think I will.
Oh wait, I'm pretty sure I had my nervous breakdown on Friday night when they told me they were coming a day early. Luckily, I had already planned on packing like crazy all day yesterday. A few people offered to help me pack, which I truly appreciate -- I just wish I wasn't such a control freak and would have accepted their help. Just kidding. I didn't really have too much to pack after I did my "spring cleaning" in December. I think the final count was 22 boxes and 9 tupperware bins.
I also sold my washer, dryer and elliptical machine.
Ask me if I put the cash in savings.
Nope. I bought a 32GB iPod Touch instead :-D
The way I look at it is that part of the elliptical was my Christmas present, so really, I've just traded it in for something that's easier to ship across the country. Am I wrong?
Oh, and I made it to all of the restaurants I wanted to hit before leaving this great state. Well, except for Cafe Med. So, if anyone wants to go there for dinner on Monday night, let me know!

Oh, the Places You'll Go

... and the places I'll miss (in no particular order):
Hires
Red Iguana
Bombay House
Cafe Rio
Stoneground
The Bayou
Yanni's
Porcupine
Au Naturale
Cafe Med
Lonestar Taqueria
Desert Edge
Blue Plate

Maybe this means I'll lose some weight after I embark on the next chapter of my life?! I think I might be crazy for moving to the South when I hate BBQ sauce, pork and grits. That being said, I hope to get my fill from each of these places before I set sail (in my car, and on land, of course) on March 3rd. If anyone would like to join me, you know who to call. No, not Ghostbusters.

Oh, but good news: They have Trader Joe's in Georgia! Yes!
