Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday, and I'm getting something I've wanted for a very long time--an EMPTY NEST!!!!!!! Tim's got almost all of his stuff moved out and into the new place, pictured above. It's located about 6.5 miles from our house, just a couple of exits to the north on the Gulf Freeway. It takes a while to move when you've been in the same place for almost 23 years! I think he had forgotten just how much STUFF was neatly crammed into his closet and under his bed...his stuff alone will pretty much fill up the townhouse when added to the new furniture he's bought. Not sure where Angie's gonna put HER stuff....but it's not my problem.



Ginger and Bagel are getting along better, so maybe they'll be friends after Bagel moves out. Bagel now weighs about 8 pounds and is bigger than Tim's shoe (remember the picture I posted a while back?).
She hasn't yet completely grown into Ginger's bed, though (and, after all, Ginger would rather not share her bed anyway!).

Ginger seems to be stressed out by all the activity lately and has gotten into chocolate again (hydrogen peroxide, here we come!) and even some Nerds that Tim left unsecured in his room. So we've had to resort to crating her, but she doesn't seem to mind too much, as long as her bed is in the crate.

We'll have some big projects to complete at home after all the moving is done. Tim's room will be converted into an office for Ben, and we'll finally have a living room and dining room that are not cluttered with computers and other "office" stuff.
