Arriving home this evening…on a trip back from Pennsylvania (yea, I’ve been making a lot of those lately)…I pulled into my usual parking spot. After driving for a few hours I thought my eyes were playing jokes on me; it seemed as though there was a lot of trash on the ground. Upon closer inspection, there were huge mushrooms (at least huge to me) dotting the apartment lawn.

I’m sorry, I just couldn’t pass up this video on you tube…have fun…make sure to turn your speakers up a little bit.

I finally have arrived at my destination…Manassas, VA.  I couldn’t be more happy to be here as getting to this place was quite a ride.  To begin (and I don’t intend this to be a bitch session):

• Packing up the house turned out to be a more tedious chore than ever.  I couldn’t believe how much stuff had accumulated in the place while living there…simply amazing I must say.  I’m going to have to make a few trips back up to the house just to get it in rent-able order.
• Now I had plenty of rental companies to choose from when getting a moving truck…p l e n t y.  Yet, for some reason I chose U-Haul to get my stuff down here.  When I got to the U-Haul rental place, they gave me a circa 1993 or 1994 Ford F-350 moving truck.  This thing had a sound out that muffler like it belonged to a hill-billy driving on country roads!  I decided to tow the Explorer down to save on gas.  This, however, turned out to be a big burden.  First, the truck I had was old…couldn’t keep up speed very well.  Second, that Explorer weighed the living shit out of the U-Haul.  So, I had to keep myself to 50mph – 55mph the entire way down to Manassas.  Let me tell you…I was going f**king insane by the time I got down.

On the less bitchy side of things, the apartment is perfect!  I’ll hopefully have some pictures together so you can all see how the place looks.  It’s nice and spacey, quiet!  I’m turning a new leaf with regard to the apartment.  I’m not going to be the packrat I was before with the old place.  Going to live nice and easy from now on…no unnecessary clutter.

That is all for now.  I must get some sleep as it’s been quite a weekend.

P.S. Don’t ever get a U-Haul (unless it’s new) to move your stuff!
