More Hyphenated Last Named Gone Wrong & Moving
- March 7th, 2008 5:03 pm
Moving is rather routine for my husband and and I. We flip houses, so the house we live in is generally on the market.
One might think that by now, I should have mastered moving down to an organized science, and I suppose to some degree I do. If one did think that, one would be very wrong.
In fact, I’m probably the worst mover ever. I pack everything the week before the move date. Not during the whole 30 days we have to move, but in the last 5-7 days.
The thing is: Moving just sucks. And I know I should be able to provide a synonym from sucks for you so that you don’t think that I’m in the third grade. However, ’sucks’ is the only word that truly conveys the way I feel about moving.
It’s not so much leaving this house.
Okay, maybe it is a little, but this kitchen is one of my true loves.


(by the way, that toaster is pink if you can’t tell. haha. I know….I know.)
Really, it’s the ridiculousness of lugging stuff back and forth. Packing and unpacking. Backaches and headaches. You get the picture.
I’m just hoping that the deal for the new house closes before we have to be out of this one, for sure.
Anyway, enough boring house talk, here are more hyphenated last names gone wrong:






And the grand champion of pure filth:

Moving does suck. Yep, I couldn’t find another word for it, either. I have a Hello Kitty toaster and bet it would look awesome in that kitchen.
Hey, you put up a new picture!

Lol! I haaaaaaate moving! I wonder if the people realize the jokes that are their last names! Hehe.

It took me a minute on the last one. There is a big family here with the last name Kuntz but it’s pronounced Koontz, so when I first read it I didn’t even catch the spelling. Im a dork.

Where do you find those hilarious wedding announcements.
It makes me SO glad my name is Smith.
(My name really isn’t Smith…)
House flipping… that is cool.. We actually like to move. This is the longest I’ve ever been in a home ever with my husband.

Hey, are you like the people on the house-flipping t.v. show? Love that show.
Some guy called my husband’s work today. Honestly, his name was Peter Grabber.

De-lurking here to let you know I love, love, love the new pic. I hate, hate, hate moving. You have a way of making me laugh and sometimes make me teary-eyed but that last wedding announcement made me laugh and cry. I cried because I snarfed my soda when I read it and it made my nose hurt and eyes tear up.

There really isn’t any other suitable way of describing moving. It does suck. I have moved 2 in the last 3 years and each time I tend to lose something.
Houseflipping is something I’ve always wanted to try. Is it as much fun as it seems to be on TV?

Your kitchen is beautiful, I would be unhappy to leave that, too.

‘Sucks’ is okay but ‘blows’ might work better.

I think sucks is the exact word for moving. I do, however, think it is vital to keeping the crap from reproducing like jack rabbits.

I agree…moving sucks! I have moved WAY too many times! We have decided to stay in this house for at least 5 more years! I will hate when I have to pack up this place!!!

As a child, my family relocated about every 12-18 months from my 3rd birthday to my 18th birthday. I don’t know that you ever get to be proficient at them, but you do learn a few things over the course of it all.
One is you tend not to be a pack rat. Who the hell wants to pack all those chatkes every 12 months?
The other benefit, as a kid, was that I learned how to make friends very quickly. That, as it turns out, is a useful skill.

I was very tempted to wake my husband so he could enjoy that last wedding announcement with me. He’ll probably appreciate it more after he’s slept in, though.

The only pure science to moving is either to not move or hire movers. Good luck!!

MizFit, who when she thinks of flipping now CAN NOT HELP but think of Flipping Out and when that guy said he had the “most perfect amount of botox”
priceless.

You flip houses?? I’m intrigued…
I watch Flip That House all the time.
Seriously, I’m addicted.
And once again, you made me pee a little over here from laughing at the hyphenated names. Too effing funny!!!
