My menu plan for this coming week is simple: Stuff My Husband Likes.
Essentially I'll be buying fresh eggs, cheese, crusty bread, potatoes, oatmeal, and potato chips. Breakfast, breakfast, and more breakfast.
Some weeks are just a little bit off the normal course and this is one of them. I am flying with my two children to Pittsburgh to empty our house there in preparation for our closing date next month. When we moved to LA we did it so quickly that it just seemed easier to rent our house fully furnished. We were able to hire a contractor to finish our basement work and some walls, creating a storage area to hold stuff in purgatory for a while - and now the time of reckoning is upon us.
We decided to sell almost on a whim* and the house was off the market practically before it was on. Farewell to my dream house, c'est la vie!
So now I'm off to deal with selling the furniture, shipping what few items we have room for here (mostly art), and storing items that we want to keep. Fun fact: it is cheaper to rent a studio apartment in Pittsburgh than it is to rent a storage unit in Los Angeles.
Next week will be a bit odd too, since I won't be back until late in the week and will most likely enter rooms by smashing a sink through the window, Cuckoo Nest style. But! I will have lots of hot info about selling items at a yard/garage/house/estate sale!
*totally kidding, I don't do anything on a whim
