I am officially a Texan again, despite what the license plate on my car says. It will most likely continue to say California until I get pulled over, or I am due for my next oil change, which ever occurs first. I moved into my apartment this past Saturday and I got to experience Christmas with a renewed sense of joy as I unpacked my things that have been stored away for the past year. But in the spirit of blogging let me start from the beginning... There was much preparation for the move: the sanding, priming, painting, and lacquering of many pieces of furniture. All of this I did while looking my best!
Ok so that was all I had for the preparation so lets take it forward to moving day. Amongst the ruckus of putting things in the truck I noticed poor Kenmore in the corner looking a little down. I don't quite feel this picture is giving justice to just how far this thing is leaning forward! I'm not sure what is wrong with her but I'm hoping there is a cure! More cowbell maybe?
Later in the day as I was unpacking some kitchen boxes I noticed a box that I had labeled 'piggy.' Well this brought great joy to my heart. Piggy is my little 16" tall master chef in the kitchen. He looks very professional, and does he hold any small object I require on a SILVER platter? No, no. A gold one. So I opened the box and was extremely disturbed to find that Piggy has had an unexpected amputation this year.
I spent a long time trying to find some other way but seeing that Piggy cannot stand up straight and will no longer be holding anything for me on that little gold platter, I had to let him go. He received a modest service and burial in the trash can, later to experience his demise down a trash chute. I'm sure it was quick. Rest in peace Piggy.
But you will all be comforted to know that my giraffe still has his head. And to think I got him out of the Reynolds' house just in time. I hear they decapitate small figurines for fun. Disgusting.
It will definitely take some getting used to being here by myself. I'll miss those little Reynolds running amok, as I'm sure BoBob will as well...

I'm the first comment! Yeah! OK, the vac is definitely ridiculous but I think poor Piggy could have been salvaged. I think he must hate you to see to what ends you will travel for the Kenmore but you won't even glue his leg back on. That's disgusting my friend.
meh. I would have tossed the pig to. But I'm lazy.
His little platform was shattered! He would have been crippled forever. That's not the Piggy I know. I'm obviously doing opposite of what you think is logical. Hmmm.
Y'all know how I feel about swine...mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm, toasty!
