Woah!

Man, keeping up a blog is hard. Here's why:

So I was away at a show in Charlotte from Monday through Friday. Industrial Fabrics, yay!

Bennett and I have been volunteering for the Obama campaign on the weekends. Canvassing, phone banking, hauling things around for a Get Out the Vote Event. (More on that in a later post.) Phew.

We've also discovered a couple of new restaurants (to us, at least). And been to some old ones. (Yes, more on that later.)

On top of that, we're going to France on Wednesday so that Bennett can take some language tests that INSEAD requires, and we're also going to check out apartments. So I've been going back and forth with potential future french landlords trying to make appointments. (Yep, more later.)

Oh and by the way, this is my To Do list so far:

Get birth certificate translated/certified/notarized as part of getting our marriage recognized so I can get a long stay visa
Get my car title sent to me so I can donate my car when its time to move
Get passport size photos taken
Back up my pics and files from my computer (whatever, it's not really for moving but it's got to be done)
Call to cancel our various utilities
Make storage arrangements for B's car?
Go through personal items to be thrown out/given away - clothing, jewelry, beauty products, etc
Do craiglist listing for any items to be sold?
Buy boxes
Arrange for donation of car
Arrange for donation food, clothes, furniture etc
Make packing list and buy luggage
Make arrangements for moving and storage
Make arrangements for shipping of any items to France
Arrange for use of elevator in building on moving day

And, oh, a few dozen other small things. All of which does not include B's separate list. Or the list of things we need To Do together - like get our International Drivers Licenses. Or things To Do in France, like purchasing toiletries and and groceries and getting our utilities in order.

Blah. Lot's to do. Been hibernating a bit due to feeling overwhelmed. Henceforth and therefore: keeping up a blog is hard.
