And, it is raining... has been since I got home pretty much. Did I need anymore reason to want to move you ask?

I am also just blah, so just going to post the pics I edited today and turning in early, will try to write something witty tomorrow... I think the sun will be out also, they are calling for a gorgeous weekend!

I should be packing right now, hell I should have been packing for the past 3 days. But I just can't get out of these doldrums I have been in since my son had an issue at school.

Can I pack myself up in one of these cardboard boxes and ship myself to Arizona and just hope that someone else will pack up my house. Cause I really need some sunshine and good days. We have had snow, again...

This has easily got to be the longest and hardest winters I have been in, well in quite awhile! I don't remember this much snow since the blizzard of 78/79 but that was all at once. This has been going on since like last August I think? (I kid!)

But, I wonder what the breaking point is for cardboard, do you think it would hold a grown woman who is a bit on the plump side? How much padding should I put around me, oh and air holes, I should think of putting air holes in also. Hmm which brings me to the part of I will have to eat and when you eat, well.. OK so maybe being shipped to Arizona in a box is not such a wise idea after all. Now I have a part of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead running through my head. If you have not watched this movie and love or even like Tom Stoppard as well as Shakespear then you will love Love LOVE!!! R&G are dead!

Rosencrantz: Did you ever think of yourself as actually dead, lying in a box with a lid on it?

Guildenstern: No.

Rosencrantz: Nor do I, really. It's silly to be depressed by it. I mean, one thinks of it like being alive in a box. One keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead, which should make all the difference, shouldn't it? I mean, you'd never *know* you were in a box, would you? It would be just like you were asleep in a box. Not that I'd like to sleep in a box, mind you. Not without any air. You'd wake up dead for a start, and then where would you be? In a box. That's the bit I don't like, frankly. That's why I don't think of it. Because you'd be helpless, wouldn't you? Stuffed in a box like that. I mean, you'd be in there forever, even taking into account the fact that you're dead. It isn't a pleasant thought. Especially if you're dead, really. Ask yourself, if I asked you straight off, "I'm going to stuff you in this box. Now, would you rather be alive or dead?" naturally, you'd prefer to be alive. Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance, at least. You could lie there thinking, "Well, at least I'm not dead. In a minute somebody is going to bang on the lid, and tell me to come out."
[bangs on lid]

Rosencrantz: "Hey you! What's your name? Come out of there!"

Guildenstern: [long pause] I think I'm going to kill you.

 

So, with all the shit going on in our lives right now, we decided to move early! This is a good thing as I really have come to hate the North East.

I got playing around with Corel Essentials 4 tonight and messed around with some pics of Sedona that I took in '05 on our honeymoon. I told the hubby back then that we were going to retire to AZ, I just never expected to be moving there so soon!

 

It was a dark stormy night...

Ok, so not that kind of tale :)...

I am absent lately, I know this, you know this, or at least anyone who has still hung onto me as a friend here would know this.

I've had alot of changes in my life lately, the first of which was the removing of the shackles that held me in constant darkness and sadness. It was an uphill battle for awhile, the insurance company would only pay for the generic and in this economy who has almost $300 a month to drop on meds? The generics just didn't work consistently though, there were days when it felt as if ever sad moment I had the past year had suddenly descended on me at once.

After some searching online I found out that themaker of the generic for my anti-depressant has quite the history. They have been privately investigated by consumer watchdogs as well as some big name news agencies who have been trying to prove to the FDA that these pills are not up to par. The FDA however cannot back down, otherwise it would open up doors for every other generic on the market to be questioned as well.

So a battle was finally won last week. After my doctor put in the pre auth and the paper work showing that I was having reactions to the generic my insurance has finally granted us with the name brand permanently. Meaning I will not have to go through this battle every year yay!

The first day I felt the difference between the generic and the new, it was as if I was starting the cycle all from a fresh start, within a few days though, omg! I feel like a different person! I have the energy back that I lost 4 years ago, sadly my body is not in good enough shape to handle all the energy I have and I hurt my back trying to carry a TV up stairs earlier lol! But it's all good, I am back to me! FINALLY!!!

Secondly, I am not sure which news is the more exciting, but well, I never thought I would get excited at this prospect.... are you sitting on the edge of your seat in curiousity yet??

We're moving to Arizona!!  Sadly it won't be for a little over 3 years (we have to wait for my youngest to graduate H.S. first) We are however going to head out there this summer to get a look at the area where we want to move. It will probably be around Gilbert, that is where my sister is moving to. Yes she instigated this whole move! My mom is even in on it as well. So all the Murphy girls are going to be back living near each other again. We can't stop laughing we're so happy. The hubby is even OK with it. He is looking forward to moving to an area with a new church where he does not have to feel as if he has to fill his fathers shoes anymore (we live in the house he grew up in and go to the church he grew up in as well, his father was a leader at the church and a very strong presence there, so those are some big shoes he has had to try to fill)

I actually started cleaning the house out today, cause there is no way in heck I want to have to move all this stuff across country! I am streamlining everything and getting rid of anything that I have not used in the last 6 months.  After packing away all the Christmas stuff today I am thinking that is going to be the biggest haul we are going to have to make! :D

I have not been this happy in years, I know now that this depression was brought on by being away from my family, I have never lived more than a 45 minute ride from them before and the decade before getting married and moving to the north east, I had actually been lving with Mom and sis et all.

I could continue to ramble about how I fell in love with AZ on my honeymoon, but I think there are other posts already devoted to that here hehe. So... with that thought I am going to go do some crafting and think about all the beautiful photo's and sunsets I am going to be getting when we move!

I just reformatted my comp due to a nasty little virus and root kit, so I don't have any of my editing stuff installed yet, so I will just leave you with this pic of the hubby and my shadow against the wall of some ruins we found in AZ on our honeymoon '05
