another check...
I called the electricity/water company and got service set up for connection for Sept 1. It was actually much easier to do than I expected but its nice to know that when we do get off the plane, the house will at least have power! 
next assignment- get garbage collection sorted out
I'll wait to do the cable/phone/internet for when I get there....I think. the jury is still out on that one. its definitely NOT a necessity and there are some other specifics that I would want to check on before I make a decision. although being the internet junkie that I am, if connection services are backed up (small college town) and I have to wait more than 3 days for services, I would not be a happy camper. (trivial matter...I know)
I am stalking craigslist for cars and exercise equipment. seriously. I love my stationery bike and since I began this weight loss program, I've really had to incorporate my bike more than usual in helping me keep my daily calorie intake at what it should be!
yes I do cheat..but I guess it works since I've lost 8 pounds so far! 
oh yea...another 'to do' on the list (important) is secure tickets. I think I have at least another 5 weeks to play around before I miss the 'early bird' fare discounts but I need to at least begin monitoring so we can know what we are budgeting for. Its interesting because travel has now become a science. don't want to book too far in advance, don't want to wait for last minute unless you are traveling a popular route (and Nassau to Canada is NOT), need to know restrictions/rates on baggage allowance, best/worst (i.e. most expensive) days to travel...and the list continues.
Since I'm actually 'moving', I need to find an airline that at least covers the first bag FREE...because between hubby and I, we will have 4 bags and on some airlines, the cost for 2 bags (x 2 people) is almost half of another ticket ($100).
so that's my "short" update...off to continue being
