New Houses/Apartments

Do you have any sort of ritual when you move into a new space? Cleaning like crazy? Burning sage or incense?

I told SO I want to burn some sage at the new place and he looked at me like I was an alien. I figure since the place is a 100 years old it could use a good energy cleaning.

Um...eating pizza on the first night because we're exhausted from moving?

I make sure the ice maker is working.

That's it, I guess.

Promising myself that I am not moving again anytime soon then breaking that promise approximately 1 year later.

I usually clean the place from top to bottom.

We also typically have carry-out on the floor before we move in any furniture but are at the new place painting or whatever.

I clean like crazy, check every single appliance, and also have sex in every room.

First thing we did was have sex in the living room/foyer/dinning room.

Then I cleaned the place and made it smell like our home instead of someone else's home. If that makes sense.

[snickers]

I clean & unpack, lol.

We won't have all our stuff until Wednesday, but I have been cleaning like crazy. I'm also trying to overcome my phobia of old closets before I actually put things in them.

Brand new toilets. I always need a new toilet. I don't like thinking about other people's poo touching my things.

Yep, this pretty much sums it up for me.

And I mean CLEAN LIKE CRAZY!!! Door nobs, toilets, floors, counters, and all other hard surfaces.

New toilet seats.

[pantsparty]

I have never even considered replacing the toilet seats. Germaphobes!

I do two things that are rituals in my culture:

1. Entering the house for the first time with the right foot leading.

2. Before moving any items into the house, bring milk to a boil on the stove and let some of it spill over the sides. Then sweeten the milk and drink it with the family.

Go through and sanitize/clean, and have sex everywhere. And order food, because we're too tired to cook after all that.

Okay, at what point in the moving process do you have sex? Fuck. I'd be way too tired.

It happens over the course of a week for DH and I.

Get drunk and pass out on the floor. I like to show the new place what it's in for.

Lol
