exhaustion and excitement - what a combo!

so i'm sitting here, barely able to keep my eyes open to watch the Va Tech v. Nebraska game (and what the heck - hokies are ahead!!!). it all began yesterday when i finally got my ass in gear to start loading up my car with stuff from my storage unit for THE MOVE!!! i also ran a bunch of last minute errands that i'd either procrastinated doing or just forgot to do them. when i arrived back home, i wolfed down some pizza, got myself ready and drove up to my sister's place so that we could cab together to my farewell party. the party was planned to be low key since my sister had to work at the crack of dawn, my brother had a friend's bachelor party to go to today, and a few other folks had stuff going on. i was fine with low key - last thing i wanted to be was hung over while loading the rest of my stuff into the car.

first location was pretty low key - about 10 of us hanging out, having a few beers and catching up. before we knew it, it was midnight and folks had to head out. well, my brother and his mancrush roommate decided they were going to the second location (our favorite bar on capital hill). i went along thinking i'd call it a night by 1am. but no, the party animal that i am, i stayed to close down the bar. a habit that my brother, sister and i tend to do quite often. like they said on 30 rock, "never go with hippies to the second location." my brother and his mancrush roommate aren't hippies (more like idiots), but i think you get the point.

so i wake up this morning with a touch of a hangover. not a full blown rager, thankfully, but enough of one to make me feel tired all day long. when i got back home, i began loading the aforementioned clothes into my car. this was supposed to be an easy task that ended up taking me 4 hours. i was awfully optimistic that i could fit all of my fall/winter wardrobe into the back seat of my car with no problem. i realized that i have a lot of clothes/shoes. and i mean A LOT! i ended up having to take a box or two out and mail them along with some boxes of clothes that wouldn't fit. all in all, i've probably snail mailed over 100 lbs. and $300 worth of goods to my new place. good times.

thankfully, the car is loaded and all i have to do is get some sleep and wake up tomorrow morning, jump in the car and take off to columbus. i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
