- Get estimates from movers. Wow, we've got a lot of stuff.
- Retrieve from the storage facility the stuff we put there for the sake of clearing out and "staging" the house.
- Sell lots of crap on craigslist that isn't worth moving.
- Deal with all of the people responding to the ads on craigslist.
- Cancel the phone, cable, internet, newspaper.
- Decide -- do we keep the alarm system active after we leave? I'll take comments on this point. (To consider -- sure, it seems safer. But friends in a similar boat said that realtors that show the house never really remember to re-arm the alarm when they leave, so half the time it's not on anyway.)
- Throw a good-bye par-tay.
- Sell a car.
- Buy a cheaper car.
- Figure out whether we're gonna take one or two cars to Minnesota.
- Figure out how we're gonna get all of the stuff we need up to Minnesota by ourselves, and whether we do that in one car or two cars.
- Buy a rooftop carrier, preferably used.
- Get Matt's parents' dining room table back to Matt's parents. Cheaply.
- Find someplace to stay somewhere between here and Minnesota that is a) cheap and b) doesn't mind our dog.
- Finish plans for the preschool back-to-school carnival I'm the chairwoman of. It's this Saturday. I have to be there from 5 p.m. Friday night until about 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
- Finish the minor home repairs identified by the inspector on our pre-listing inspection.
- Go to Home Depot to get supplies for said repairs. Cheaply.
- Pack.
- Decide what to pack.
- Prepare for open house on 9/26.
- Visit my family in Hendersonville to say goodbye.
- Figure out if we can get a loan for a house in Minnesota.
- Have another garage sale to get rid of more stuff so we don't deplete our entire savings in the move.
- Pray for the house to sell. Please, please, please sell.
