I was going to skip the first few days of BBAW, because I've had a nightmare day of moving. First, the Sacramento police says I can park the ABF trailer on my street. So I have them drop it off. Then the police call me back an hour later and say, "Oh, you can't park it there. You're going to have to move it." It's not something I can move back and forth on a whim. ABF is the one who moves it. Plus, I had issues getting my router for work. And the directions for setting up all my work computer equipment is somewhere in the recesses of the truck. Seeing that I need them now, that's a problem. So fast forward six hours, numerous hysterical sobbing breakdowns, and horrible stress induced nausea (note to self: eating two plums and a cookie for lunch and then doing intense yoga in between crying jags = bad idea) later, and you have one unhappy Alison.
But then I checked my Google Reader and saw all the great BBAW posts and couldn't help but be cheered up. I didn't schedule a blogger interview, so I'm highlighting my fellow bloggers through my community post :-)
After all, there's nothing better than the blogging community. I've met so many wonderful people and fallen in love with so many blogs on my blogging sojourn.
(I'm sorry...I was going to write detailed descriptions of each blog, but I realized that the chairs my husband spent a year refinishing and recovering were torn and scratched in the move and that set off another sobfest. Then, my husband dragged me away from my tear-stained pillow to a restaurant for dinner. So I no longer have the time or energy to type much.)
Here are a few of my favorite blogs. I'm sure I'm missing some and I apologize for that.

So sorry for all the moving pains! I had a similar experience when I helped move my brother to Texas. It's definitely a trip that I will never forget. I hope things get better and be less stressful soon.
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog! You've given me great ideas to help improve mine. Thank you for including me in a list of other fabulous blogs. I'm honored to be listed. :)
Sorry to hear you had such a rough time moving. Last time I helped a friend move, it was on the hottest, most humid day of the year, and we moved her from a 2nd-story room to a 3rd-story apartment. By the end, we all felt *incredible* and smelt even better, I'd bet!
ReplyDeleteHope things will run smoother for you now!
Smiles!
