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.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Mr T. video: painful
Al Gore video: also painful but only by contrasting it to where we're at.

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.

We have one here. Not too far from the hotel.

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.

Last time I went out of town I couldn't get around to packing ahead of time so I just swung by Old Navy on the way to the airport and grabbed a few t-shirts and socks and stuff.

Tom was scooping up water out of our basement and hauling it up 2 flights of stairs about 25 times, and then realized that the water from our condo neighbor's basement was flowing in as fast as he could haul it out. Very discouraging, poor guy. Thankfully, the area the water leaks is in the part of the basement that doesn't have much stuff in it except broken down cardboard boxes and paint cans on raised metal shelves.
This rain is of the total SUCK.
