I've been trying to, but it's a huge pita. Our buyer was nice enough to send me something urgent that came to the house under my maiden name. There are so many things to change.

Can't you just do it online with USPS? Then they automatically forward mail with the old address.
Maybe that's not available where you are, but it definitely is here. I've done it a million times, lol.
I am pretty sure you can. It costs $1. And it works kind of.

I've done it 3 times in the last 5 yrs with both my name, my h's and our llc, but there has been stuff that doesn't make it each time. This last one hasn't been terrible, but we still got mail at one address for years after we moved.
This may be the trip where I finally figure out how to use the the sprayer nozzle in all the bathrooms here. The office I'm visiting doesn't stock toilet paper.
VENT: My BIL is a one upper and it's just something I need to get over. He is young (28 ish) and still lives with his parents. It's just a cultural thing I realize. DH and I invited him and his girlfriend to come with us to St Lucia months ago when we began to plan. He said they couldn't go for various reasons. So fine..all is good. Then today he is bragging that he going to T&C THIS WEEKEND and asks us to go as well. WTF? We can't just go on a whim to T&C. We have to plan that type of trip. Plus we are going to St Lucia for entire week in about a month. He says his gf is stressed out and needed a vacation. They are just going for 3 days. $1500 and apparently this is SOOOO cheap.
I know I sound jealous because I am. I would love to go and it's one of the places on my bucket list to visit but I think 3 days just won't feel like a vacation. FWP.
RANDOM: My cold is finally starting to die. It's been almost an entire week of mucus and my head feeling like it's in a cloud. I hope I continue to feel better.
I have a $$MM related Vent: DH and I both need a vacation so bad, but we are trying to buy a home in the summer - we have to be out by Sept 1, or we go month-to-month which is pricey. Whatevs. The vent is that WE NEED A VACATION. I'm trying to plan DH's fall marathon and his running club cannot pull the trigger, and I just want to book something, to somewhere! The last vacation we took was to the WDW marathon in Jan '12, and I was 8 weeks pg. I need a beach, a fruity cocktail and a tan, dammit!
My diamond slippers are too tight, I KNOW THIS, but damn. Everyday stress is a killer and it is hard having a teething 9 mo old, vacation time built up, and no plans for R+R.
I would book a quick/cheap cruise, but we have DS to add the the equation now, and its hard to ask family to take him for us while we hie off to relax.

Are you up to just a weekend trip that's driveable or fly-able? I get the need for a vacation and sometimes a weekend getaway makes all the difference. Hang in there!

damn. GBCN ate my response.
yep, and we're in ATL so traveling from here is relatively easy. It's just pulling the trigger on spending $$$$. I hate being an adult. I'd much prefer to drop some $$$$ on a quick trip but everytime I price something out, I think "That's more down payment $$$, or a new bed/couch/furniture for our new home!".
A rock hit my windshield and I got a nice dime sized star. Friday I have to go get it filled.
I'm ready to have this baby. Stop teasing me with contractions on and off.
I have to call to complain about our internet bill increasing. DH is all, oh they may have sent an email. Well WTF dude, if you don't tell me this stuff then yes it's a surprise when the bill goes up $5.
Next Day Blinds ordered the wrong size for two of our windows, and now it will take another 8 days to get someone here with the correct size to fix it. It will have been like 25 days since our order assuming they actually get it right next time.

Seems like a company name change is in order. Although "25 Day Blinds" just doesn't have the same appeal.
"Maybe I'm one of those people who has problems with depth perception. Or maybe I'm just stupid, I don't know. What I DO know is that this lamp is NOT an adorable little globe of purple glass like the picture (to my eyes anyway) indicates. It is in fact a opaque disk about 3 inches thick, 10 inches across. Even the shade is a freakish oval, not round. To say I am disappointed is to put it mildly. I was going to return it but my mother, of all people, fell in love with it! Go figure? So I just gave it to her as an early birthday gift.
In closing, just be aware that when seen from the side, this lamp is going to look like Kirstie Alley sat on it. Other than that it's fine."

We had huge snowflakes here a little while ago. Would have been very pretty in December, but on April 23rd they made me angry. I am so ready for consistent sunshine and reasonable weather. I don't even need heat, I just need to go outside without being cold.
I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed lately, I have a billion things to do before moving in a month and I've realized how much my head has not been in the game lately at work. Nobody has reprimanded me or anything, but I feel so behind on everything. I'm kind of skating by and most days feel like I got nothing done at work OR at home. Or got nothing done that was important toward projects, at least, I'm getting tons of little things done. My ADHD has always made it hard to get anything done, period, but lately it's like I'm going through life feeling like I'm swimming through jello or something, doing ANYTHING is so hard. I really just want to fast forward my life to August and start everything over.
DH and I are officially moving to another state and I am so overwhelmed by it all. The idea of having to pack everything up, staying with my ILs while we look for a house, making sure the dog is comfortable and not stressed, leaving my job (which I like, but am also sort of happy to leave the stress behind), looking for a new job... Ugh. I know we'll be fine once we get there and settled in, but I am pretty sure we're in for a hellish couple of months and I am not looking forward to it.
Also, I REALLY want a BlendTec blender. My mom bought me a rather pricey purse for my birthday, which I ended up not liking, so I am going to return it and ask for money toward the blender. My dad is also sending money for my birthday. I want this blender so much, but I am second guessing myself and wondering if I should put the cash in savings since we're about to spend a bunch of money to move and then buy a house. I hate my responsible brain.
Today, all I have is a vent. I am so exhausted. Mentally and physically, I just need a goddamn break!
I joked last night with my H about how I should pretend to have a kid (like Lindsay Lohan in Labor Pains, yes I just wrote that) to get some "maternity leave" on the back end. This morning, I actually was plotting if there's any way I could make that actually work, leveraging pictures of my niece and nephew. I am not kidding.

I am running on empty lately. I went to bed around 9:30 last night and still turned off my alarm and fell back asleep this morning when it went off at 6:15. Luckily DH woke up and got me up around 6:45 so I wasn't too late getting out of the house. Final dissertation revisions are due tomorrow, I started my corrections early so I wouldn't be doing it at the last minute and because of waiting on professors and having one go in circles (do this...no why did you do that? do this...no, let's not do that, do this!) here I am planning to be up very late tonight working on it. Ugh.
I have just been going and going for months now with no break and I am about to collapse.

I felt the exact same way going through my divorce. Hugs. It will get better. Hopefully your work understands. My then boss was an ass about it, I would get deemed constantly, he even have me crap about taking the whole day off the day I had to go to court to finalize it. You will get through it.

When I first heard Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Store" song, I was SMH.....but found new found respect for him w/ their song "Same Love". Loving them right now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2SO-U9ILEI

I seriously considered creating a fake kid, using pictures of my cousin because she looks just like me, when i started my last job. I thought it would give me excuses to leave early for 'doctor's appointments' or sick kids. I never did it, because I thought I would slip , but at times, I thought it would be amusing. Take a mental health day!
