can we put it on the back burner???

Ohhhhhhh the packing continues.  Such fun right?  Well, I thought I would change things up a bit on here and give you a look at the packing going on over at Emily’s house.  We are both at home going insane from sifting through half-eaten books, old CD’s, and a dwindling food supply.  We’re both moving next weekend.  However, Emily is moving hours away to DC and downsizing a lot.  She definitely has it a bit rougher right now! 

By the way…are you familiar with Emily at The Front Burner Blog??  I am in love with Emily’s blog.  She has a way of capturing her life that I can’t get enough of, and she is a complete whiz in the kitchen.  Her recipes are worth making.  And then making again.  Ummm, hello black bean burgers.  I wish her all the best in DC and can’t wait til the day we can finally meet! 

Head on over to Emily’s blog to see what I’ve been up to!  I’ve added in a little commentary to her photos…I just couldn’t help myself!

IMG_9656 (640x480)

Cuuuutie!!

IMG_9659 (640x480)

I do!

IMG_9665 (475x640)

Is Casey shipping you to Colorado???? :)

IMG_9669 (480x640)

Gulp.  I think you win on amount of things to be packed.

IMG_9670 (640x480)

Looks about as depressed as Dakota.

IMG_9673 (458x640)

IMG_9674 (473x640)

In need of a belly scratch.

IMG_9676 (640x479)

I busted out laughing at this one!!!

IMG_9678 (640x462)

IMG_9679 (640x480)

Steamboat!! I’ve been there!

IMG_9681 (640x482)

BOOM!

IMG_9684 (480x640)

I also think it’s quite hilarious + odd that we both gave each other 17 photos to post. 

Hope you enjoyed our random craziness!!!

good luck, Ashley! (I'm an Emily-fan - also her cousin - new to your blog.) Cute idea to cross-post. Hey, I will now read up on your site re: FiveFingers, as I just bought my first pair today. Yippee! Again - good luck - ugh!

I have that Keith Sweat cd.

Let me rephrase that: I HAD that Keith Sweat cd. I'm proud that I know when to let go of treasures from freshman year of college.

Emily's blog is really good! She has a sweet potato lentil curry type recipe which is amazing!

This was a really cute idea to switch it up a bit for this post! I liked seeing both of your packing shenanigans.

Keith sweat is a classic!

August 25, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterNicole - yuppie yogini

Nice beer glasses Ash.

LOVE that you got Vibrams - they are HIGH on my to-buy list. Refusing to purchase anything new until I move. You will love all Ashley's barefoot running tips!

No worries, Mama Pea. I can burn you another copy if you feel like you are forgetting the lyrics. For a good laugh, I put it on this morning and realized I knew every word, to which my husband replied, "I guess it's just like riding a bike."

:)

ah! you're so right friggn packing is THE WORST. i'm the biggest packing procrastinator on the planet!

hahahahaha but that sweatshirtless hood is classic. i think you should pack yourself up with that hood and ship yourself to hang with emily in DC!

August 25, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterjulie

LOL. I love this post. You two are so hilarious. I love Emily and her blog! I'm bummed she's moving before I got to meeter. WHY ARE ALL THE BLOGGERS LEAVING NC????

August 25, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTeri [a foodie stays fit]

If only packing was all fun like in the pictures, and everything just packed itself.

August 25, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMiranda @ MirandasJeans

Cute way of directing readers to one another's blogs :-) I love Emily's blog too! Good luck with moving.

August 25, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnnie@stronghealthyfit

Those photos are hilarious but make me remember how much i despise moving! Blah! ;)

August 25, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKristy @ KristyRuns.com

Haha, I've checked out both yall's photos... and even though packing is exhausting.. you both make it look like it may be a little bit fun.

Hang in there.. you'll have it all done soon!

You're lucky you have a friend to help you pack!
I am currently packing and in the last few days, I am getting way burned out!

August 25, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCamille

SUCH a cute idea! Love reading about both of your moves--wish you the best of luck and hope everything with your husband is all better now!

With love and cupcakes,

It is JUST a hood. Isn't that bizarre? It is currently in my goodwill pile. :)

THANKS Freya! Yummm, lentils...

What a cute idea. This is the first time I've visited your blog and will have to add it to my list of dailies. :) Good luck with your move!

What a fun post!! I love Emily's blog too and am a fan of her black bean burgers.

haha, this is awesome. Now I'm trying to come up with a function for JUST a hoodie....nothin'. ;)

August 25, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterHeather C

Keith Sweat, Emily, really? Haha. Love the blog switcheroo.

Loved the peppers photos! beautiful!

August 25, 2010 | Unregistered Commentersweetgalit

Bah hahaha! This is hilarious that the two of you switched packing photos. Looks like Emily might be having just a wee bit of fun amidst the stress of packing. ;)

August 25, 2010 | Unregistered Commentersassy molassy

For the record, that CD belongs to CASEY! :)

You know, when your head and neck are freezing, and the rest of you is just burning up? No? :)

Casey says the same thing about puffy vests (and I have like four). Always claims it is ridiculous to assume your torso needs down covering but your arms are just fine to be exposed.
