Pssst... There's a sold sign in front of my new house...
I'm really going to do this.

I'm scared, but can't wait because I really feel like I am being released from prison here.

Now... I just have to tell my mom. :scared:

19. The puppy is good
They've been stealing each other's rawhides all night. They each got a brand new one, but they want the one the other one has.

3. Big congratulations!
Off to your new adventure.

You know you're doing the right thing when your intuition is telling you that you are "being released from prison.

Good luck!

8. Congrats!
What is your timetable for the move? We will have to get together before that happens.

Good luck telling your mother; there have been things I've dreaded telling mine too and she reacted exactly as I expected which made me wait longer the next time....

14. When I moved from DC to LA and knew my mom would flip out....
....my sister (who also knew she'd flip out) suggested I just move without telling her, and send her a change of address card. This is funnier if you know that we usually talk to our mom 2-3 times a week. :rofl:

Congrats on the new home, MrsG!! :hi:

15. Congratulations MrsGrumpy!
You did the right thing,I wish you a smooth transition to your new home. BTW- Moving is an EXCELLENT time to "streamline" your possessions. I tend to be a bit of a pack rat, not out of laziness but I can't help but feel "I may need that" sometime. Last time I moved I looked at EVERYTHING I owned. Anything broken/unrepairable went in the trash. Clothing that didn't fit me anymore went to goodwill, clothing that had rips/tears went in the dumpster. A garage sale would work too.

20. I am so proud of you.
Congrats. This is a huge step, and you need this. I am here for you if you ever need anything.
Can you tell us what metro area you are headed to in Texas? Nothing specific, I understand.
