OHIO HOME {Literally! ;) }

A whiiiiiiiile back, I ordered some window decals from a grassroots company here in Cincinnati. Hometown pride is a big thing around here; I'm admittedly on the bandwagon, because I tend to think I should be proud of where I am. And I am. It's not sheer perfection, but it's home nonetheless and undeniably a part of my identity. Now that the Subie's here, I thought it better late than never to get this puppy on display!

yes, subie.. and yes, us... we're home! ♥

My next matter on the Ohio pride agenda is a Home-T. Updates on that later, hah...

For today, it was the standard schedule of work, lunch {Naked Pizza, with the pleasure of Lizzy joining us!}, and back again to continue trodding through this whole moving thing. The poor Subie's getting a workout between the two houses.

A quick update on all that [aka, status check on the new mess I'm building out of things from the "old house"]:

♥♥♥

^ I couldn't help it. I stacked those up just to get the rack started, and didn't catch the aesthetic cuteness of it until a couple of coats were on their way in later. Adore. Adore. Adore.

But seriously, I've started outlining the rooms with boxes and piles of things; I hate that this whole moving thing is practically a science to me by now, but it still doesn't make it any less agitating:


this is how grown-ups make messes....

The mess is temporary, Cori. Haha.

Anyway, that's the most exhilirating update out of this neck of the woods. I've done all I can do for now. Tomorrow = Rob, Jesse & Anna arriving with truck, boat and lots of stuffffff.

Here. We. GO!

& A Wednesday to You!

One thing I did appreciate about my commute to and from work in Illinois was that even on the major highways, there really wasn't that much congestion. Maybe there was, but I definitely didn't notice it. Today I realized that's because I'd been accustomed to driving around CINCINNATI, where the highways are always bogged down during prime drive times and it's brakelights for miles. I noticed today that it was more stuffy than usual; I know they're doing a bypass expansion project on part of 75, but the real reason for the empty southbound lanes and flashing police lights was this:


yikes.

... & in a weird way, assuming nobody was injured, you have to admit that's kind of funny. Certainly not the way I'm sure that driver had anticipated his morning going, but I haven't heard of any serious injuries from it, so that's a good thing.

Work today went at about the same lightspeed pace that it has for the past few days; we're doing our initial ramp-up and it's pretty much been a blur this week. Between a full schedule of interviews and payroll, it was certainly a burst of a day.

I was so excited when I got theeeeeese finally [not that I waited long, at all..] in the mail. I'm pretty excited - THANK YOU to Danny & the team at BeOhioProud for being so quick to send these. I'll send ya'll a picture per your request as soon as possible!


Ohio (:

I decided today also that with everything that's going on and a small hiccup with the move I was scheduled to make this weekend into the new digs, that Syd and I will be taking a road trip out to IL/STL this weekend. That means.... DAWN....... ALI...... ROB....... THE [#amazingandalsofree]STL ZOOOOOO.... can we say EXCITED??!

Countdown's on.


= dawne. = ali. = rob. = stl zoo.
'nuff said....

I just got back from Milford, it's super late, and I'm going to bed.
..........So there. (:
