Moving on Up

It's been a busy few weeks for the Blogtaris. We had CinS's brother's wedding, Melissa's parents visiting, tons of work, pregnancy excitement, and a cold. You would think with all that's been going on, we would have a lot to say. But we don't.

We are approaching the final week of cohabitation with CinS parents before we bust out to our new place in Marina Del Rey. I am looking forward to the following things about our new place (in rank order):

• our giant bed
• our giant couch
• our giant TV
• sitting out on our balcony to read a book
• no more dogs

Had this post been written about 2 years ago, my list would have probably looked more like this:

• our giant bed
• our giant couch
• our giant TV
• being hungover in peace
• walking around naked

Before I wrote that second list I thought the discrepancies would make me seem really lame and old, but seeing as 3 out of 5 are the same, I feel slightly better about myself. Yes, like many pregnant ladies who came before me, I too can delude myself into thinking I'm cool when I've clearly lost my edge. My naked edge.

The highlight of our new place for CinS will be "his" room. We have a spare room that we'll be using as an office/guest room that CinS has carte blanche to decorate as he sees fit. It is a fantasy of his to have a converted garage to house his bar, Xbox, mini fridge, and neon signs, but since we are living in an apartment, I thought I'd throw him a decorative bone and give him the extra room to "man up."

Please remind me not to watch Juno at any point before we move. Jason Bateman's singular man room made me feel super depressed and Jennifer Garnery upon viewing, and any reminders may cause me to hang a 6-foot pub sign above the entranceway to my apartment.

CinS has gleefully decided to decorate his room with a concentrated wall of neon. He now has 11 signs that will live in harmony on this wall. It will either be rad or make my eyes bleed. Or if we are lucky, both.

CinS has promised to post pictures of the neon wall to this blog upon completion to make you all jealous. Until then, I leave it to your fine imagination.

Moving day is next Saturday (hurray!) and I expect all new maritime-themed adventures to report from our home by the seas. Yes, be prepared for even more pirate references.
