I've been erratic in posting anything and commenting on your posts lately, and for that, my sincere apologies.
It's just that we're in the middle of packing up and moving again. The 8th time in the last 7 years, as of last count. Nothing special. We just feel like shaking things up a bit because as you can see, life with a baby is gets a little too boring, and boring just doesn't sit well with us.

So... Last Sunday, hubs was like:
I'M BORED. LET'S MOVE AGAIN
and I was all,
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, HUBS. WE MUST PACK ALL OUR BELONGINGS AND MOVE AT ONCE!
and Yuna was all,
WAIT. WHAT? MOVING AGAIN? MY PARENTS ARE SO AWESOME!!
The magical moment made us burst into tears. It was really beautiful.
So yeah, that's why we're in the middle of moving.
You'd think by now, we've got this whole pack and move thing down, and we actually do, except that the timing of the move couldn't be more fucking perfect-- right in the middle of the BUSIEST. SEASON. EVER! Hooray! And since I am so smart, and no one can ever be as smart as me, I braved Target yesterday with cranky Yuna to buy some home decor, because I couldn't wait a second longer, and I just needed to do it while THOUSANDS are rushing to get their Christmas shopping done.
Pushing a stroller in one hand and a red Target cart with the other, I pushed my way through the mob, inching my way to the home section. I vowed to get a few home essentials we really needed, and I successfully restrained myself from ransacking the aisles. I would've made Shi proud. All I had in my cart when I decided I was done, was an area rug the size of Texas, a very fragile mirrored side table, a couple of wall sconces, a few candle holders and a jewelry box. I almost went crazy and bought a box of diapers.
Every year, we promise ourselves that this, for sure, is going to be our VERY LAST MOVE before buying a house, and it seems like it's starting to become an annual habit. It's ridiculous. We say the magic words, "This is the last time, promise", find something we absolutely hate about the place, like a neighbor who won't shut the fuck up, then get out when our lease ends. We've been doing this for the past 7 years, and it has been fairly easy for both of us, except that this year, we got ourselves in a little situation of having a child and all, but no worries! I made sure to purchase this Smart Baby Case I told you guys about to contain Yuna for the entire duration of our move. We're moving a mile away from where we're at now, and this will be perfect for lugging her around after being told by the movers that they won't take responsibility for any breakage even if we mark her box as fragile, so there's that.

Anyway, who wants to place bets on us really buying a house in January 2012? Shi's a 100% sure we'll be purchasing our first house by then, but I have this lingering feeling that we'll be moving again. What do you think?
