My stuff is here! My stuff is here! WHOOO HOOO! Now where will I put it all?

I have been here for three months and I feel like Im settling in ok.  When my air shipment showed up, that helped a little.  When the kitties got here, that helped some more.  But now I have MY STUFF.  My clothes, shoes, towels, and most important, my cookware!  I am so very excited.  When the company called to let me know my goods had cleared customs and would be delivered, I almost cried.  Instead, I took three days off so I could make sure I was here when they came.  The sweet little tradies (thats what they call blue collar workers here) who brought my stuff were a little stuffed at having to climb two flights of stairs but I tried to make it as easy as possible, letting them know when they could just leave stuff on the second floor.  Consequently, my apartment looked like a hoarder house when they finished.  Part of the service is that they also help unbox your goods and haul away the empty containers.  I got rid of a lot that way but I had them just leave the 30 boxes of clothes for me to sort out later.  So my house now looks like this:

There's a kitchen in there somewhere.....

These are just the boxes you can see from the door....yes, they are all clothes.

The office on the left, guest room on the right.

My "helpers"

As I unpacked, I found the little gifts the movers in Texas left among my things.  Im so glad they managed to pack their candy trash rather than some things I actually wanted.

After two days of hard work...the Guest room!  

Boxes EVERYWHERE!

Once I unpacked the beds and toys, that was all she wrote.

"Its about time you found my bed, Mom."

So now its just a matter of finding places for everything.  I have high hopes that once my reinforcements get here (MOM!) things will go faster.  I did come out of the gate swinging hard but ran out of gas about day three into it.  BUT, this place is almost livable now.  Just look at how inviting the guest room looks....

And, as an added bonus, there is a television in there as well.  :D  Once I get everything sorted, I will post pictures of what my apartment ACTUALLY looks like.  For now, all you get is the hoarder preview.  Sleep tight America.  :D
