Farewell Alabama!

posted on: Tuesday, June 9, 2009

Pretty much have everything moved! Well except for little bro's car jam packed with a load-oh and my town house containing a small trailer load, so I guess there's more work to be done!! I'm hoping to get family help and not be semi-solo anymore driving back and forth has taken a toll on the checkbook. 

My last couple days in Tuscaloosa I spent time alone in the house organizing my crap-o-la and took some photos////

Sadly MiMi couldn't come to the city since she is a feral cat and needs the outdoors, but once KJO is back from New Hampshire Miss Kitty will have a caregiver.

Bought this rocking chair (Missoni look-a-like!) from the 450 Mile Yard Sale in Gadsden, AL for 10 bucks and sold it at my yard sale to some pals for 8 bucks. Enjoyed it for two years and now it's with new folks seeing new things. For three or so nights a week ago I stayed by myself at the townhouse in Ttown and only had one chair: the rockin one above. I slept on a full mattress placed on the ground with two flat sheets and small fan aimed right on my sleeping area. It was nice to have a couple last days with my home, I tend to get sentimental when leaving a former homestead. Grits, Miss Kitty and I hung out and enjoyed the peacefulness of small town life for a little longer//

In the midst of packing my USB cord went missing and another one is on the way, lots of photos trapped on the camera and coming soon!! Tomorrow I have an interview with Anthropologie @ the Lenox and am super excited, don't want to get my hopes up but I am crossing the fingers!

  4. I know how you feel about leaving a home, I always feel like I'm leaving a friend too.

    Oh! good luck on the interview! Is Anthro still giving out that pre-employment internet survey? Be careful about that one, the more vague your answers are, the less likely they are to hire you!

  9. It's always so weird, but I love to see everything get packed up. It's such an interesting process, because you clean everything up--throwing out the bad stuff, leaving the good behind----it's good to change!

    Good luck with your interview! I'm sure you'll do amazingly!

  11. i remember packing up a uhaul and driving away from tuscaloosa in 1999 - it was sad to see it go but i was moving to chicago and to a new phase in my life. i hope your move is exciting and that you get the job you want!
    the good thing is that you will be close enough to visit sometimes!
    we just put a contract on a house and **knock on wood** will be moving in the middle of july! i'll try to do a better job of keeping in touch to keep you posted for when the painfully hip girls are coming our way but i have a 2 fantastic excuses for slacking: 1- the house commotion - buying is crazy stressful... and 2- i got engaged! yay!
    have you found my new blog?

  12. I, too, moved from Alabama several years ago... Eufaula specifically. Welcome to another Southern State (a better one, in my opinion).
