One week until we move into our new place. We both cannot wait for April 1st. There are so many reasons why:

• Woken up early in the morning on a Saturday by loud hip-hop music from upstairs (sister)
• Woken up by the dog banging the dog door about ten times in his attempt to get through it, also upstairs
• The vegetable side dish always come in a can and the usual side dish is Rice-a-Roni (which is really good but SO fattening).  I consistently blow my budget each week buying Jules and I healthy food to eat.  Basically I've spent more money here than when we lived on our own.
• The fridge and freezer are so small I cannot make batches of healthy food to store for later days.
• My youngest sister is an immature spoiled brat who cannot talk at a normal level but must shout everything she says
• My parents and youngest sister swear like sailors and fly off the handle at everything.  The sad thing is, is I grew up thinking it was normal to flip out at my family like we were having a normal conversation.
• My dad uses derogatory terms for a lot of people and it is hard listening to it in the evenings
• No control over the thermostat so we're hotter than we want to be most nights
• Laundry is hard to do because people leave their clothes in the washer and dryer for days on end.  There have been several weekends where I ended up doing double the laundry just to get ours done.
• Everything ends up covered in dog and cat hair.  I've gone through two sticky rollers in the past four months.  I guess it's different when its your own pet... I used to have two and not be bothered by it.  Then again, I used to wear light colours and now I wear a lot of black and grey and brown...
• Noise, noise and more noise... Whether it be from multiple televisions, music playing, people talking/shouting, the phone ringing A LOT... ugh... 

For the past three weeks, Jules and I have been spending time at the library on weekends reading, drinking coffee at the little cafe and just escaping for a few hours.  Once I finish the two loads of laundry I have started (I saw the washer and dryer empty and I HAD to act!) we will head over there and chill.

In other news, it's one more week until I can test for pregnancy. :)
