he said his grandma gave him one a few years ago
This may be my favorite part of the story, thanks to the grandma.

Hil, yay for new things!

I'm with you on the Container Store love. Those type of places are dangerous for me.

This [link] is my favorite new thing that I bought. I went in with a vague sort of "I need somewhere to put random little slips of loose paper that I can't throw away yet," and this was both perfect and adorable.

Woo! On a day like today, the Container Store sounds like paradise. Better living through organization!
In the meantime, I just discovered a few minutes ago that the cellar is flooded about two inches deep... and a bunch of boxes that I thought were safely stacked up high have been knocked over either by the cats or my roommate. So I'm going to have to pretend the basement doesn't exist for a couple of days... right?

Depends on how you feel about mildew smell on your stuff.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I ventured forth into the rain. (Have not checked the basement, because, it's not ours. Not my problem!) I came back with: hair dye.
I was not up to full grocery-shopping and attendant local area Sunday afternoon mad scramble, although that leaves me in a house with no cookies, no candy, and precious few crackers. I do have cocoa powder, though, and I was vaguely thinking of whipping something up to satisfy the fiercest chocolate craving evar.
On the up side, I think I am 96% packed for the F2F, even if I never did make it to Old Navy.

It depends on how you feel about the stuff in the boxes. If you get it out of the boxes and spread it out it could be fine. If it sits in the water awhile, your odds go down considerably.
