On my to do list.

Just called to cancel my homeowners insurance. Guy said great...what day. I told him, and he said good. Let us know when you turn in the car's plates. What? The plates? Now..keep in mind I had already spoken to them about my move, and getting renters insurance and all.
I said..I am NOT canceling my auto...JUST homeowners. He said...so, you are not moving out of state? Nope..never said I was leaving the state, Glad I was paying attention. I did verify several times that I was not canceling auto insurance.

I can't remember the exact date of your move, @Marie5656

But isn't it this week? Maybe one of the next few days?
It seems to me, a very exciting time for you!:)

I go on Wednesday the 14th to sign my lease and pay my rent and security. I move in on the 15th. I will be talking delivery of the furniture I ordered on the 14th.
I am also packing up my car with some things to move in on Wednesday. Mainly non perishable foods, and some fragile stuff. Also bringing my new sheets and comforter for the bed, as it is being delivered Wednesday.
Less than a week.
I cannot wait for it all to be done. I miss my normal life. I miss visiting here and posting regularly.
 

I am slowing unpacking. Working on kitchen now. I am attaching a picture of a bowl on top of my fridge. In my family, it is fondly remembered as "The Macaroni Salad Bowl" , It is so old, I do not remember ever NOT having it. When my mom made macaroni salad for a party or picnic, it ALWAYS went into this bowl.
Nothing else went into her cherished bowl...just Macaroni Salad. And I still get asked if I still have it.

I think tomorrow you might fill that bowl with macaroni salad.
I'll gas up the car and we'll all come up and help you eat it. :LOL:
 
It's nice to read your updates, Marie!
Items and little touches like that macaroni bowl, make the place more homey, with each one you add.
And the stories that go with each one, are so special.

Love the magnets on the fridge, too. I noticed in your previous set of photo's,
that they were one of the first day items, which was another smart way of personalizing your new home!

Is that a little pad of paper or other surface, on the fridge door, that I can write a message on, when I come to the macaroni party?
I want to write, "Welcome home, Marie! Thank you for the delicious macaroni salad, too!"
 
@Kaila I am loving it here. Yes. that is a notepad. I have also put magnets on the outside of my front door It is a metal fire door.
BTW, I will be making a small batch of macaroni salad later today. After I go do laundry. Planning ahead for our mac salad party. LOL.

I have decided magnets will be my new collection. For fridge and front door. Just ordered some Christmas ones from Amazon for the front door.
