For Staging Purposes, Of course.

Whew. Saturday Mom and I cleaned spots of this house I hope to never clean again. I'm talking to you kitchen blinds and light fixtures. Not to mention behind the fridge and stove and on top of the cupboards.

We crossed quite a few items off the to do list. There's still a page left to go, but the end is in sight!

A not so nice Sunday meant the outside stuff didn't get done, but it did free us up to go shopping.

Seems all my nagging drooling over a new vacuum finally wore Ryan down. Yes, yes I know. We're moving. We're clearing out. We're not supposed to be buying any new items.

But look how tiny that box is. Practically smaller than my smallest child.

Plus, we need it for staging purposes. You haven't seen the hair that wonderful little vacuum pulled out of my sitting room area rug!

You can't make me take it back.  I'll find room for it. I'll ship it to myself.  Strap it to the top of the van. Buy it a train ticket. Something. It's coming.

Speaking of stuff Ryan insists we don't need but Karrie buys anyways, I got myself a new rug for the laundry room.

For those who have actually been in my laundry room and seen that disaster of a rug I had before (hi mom!), you'll agree this one looks so much better.  The rest of you can just be in awe that my laundry room floor is devoid of folded laundry.

Well, Mom is probably in awe of that as well. C'est la vie!
