I am one of the few and proud who love to move. love to pack, love to unpack.

of course, now with mac, the thought of doing so exhausts me, so we will probably stay put for a good long while.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOVERLY BEVERLY!!!

Happy birthday, Benno-boy!!

This last time i moved was the first time I used movers and it was weird to stand there and have someone do the heavy lifting.

Me too, except weird=FANTASTIC. Given where I live now, I'm using movers when I move out of my place. Only way to do it.

Plus the head of the moving crew was this insanely tall black man with an oh-so-posh British accent who called one of his guys "Number One" (the other guy was just John) and said "Engage" as the cue when they were team lifting things.

I'm slightly in love with your mover, brenda.

So. Let's say I have some nice art prints I want to get framed in a nice way, but I don't want to spend a fortune. What are my options?

eta: I'd be willing to spend somewhere in the vicinity of "a fair amount" but hopefully less than "lots."

My engineering students, having finished their downhill racers, are now jumping rope. Of all the days not to bring my camera...

Michael's. Look for coupons for 50% off in their weekly flyers.

I join you in this...except for the schlepping part and the corralling friends to schelp part.

Yay fresh starts, boo back strain.

I like moving because I have an unwholesome afinity for sorting like things together. I blame Sesame Street.

Wow, new shiny thread. 150 posts is much less intimidating for the newbie than the 10k or so in the last one. Happy Birthday Beverly. From the looks of it most of you have been way more productive than myself in the past two days. What is this "laundry" you speak of? I have this pile of grading that doesn't seem to get any smaller no matter how many papers I grade and I would much rather hook up the drum set and play "Rock Band". I am not quite sure how it happened but I am addicted to that game. There is something about playing the drums along with "Wanted Dead or Alive" that makes me a happy Bonbon fan. But, the natter has given me more important things to distract me than the temptation of the PS3 in the other room.

"Johnny Depp & Christian Bale = a lot of hot."

Yes, in anything, anywhere. Together in the same movie....is there such a thing as hotness overload? And I am with Juliana on the mover as there is just something lovely about a gorgeous man with a British accent saying 'engage'. Helps that I am on a Star Trek kick. Been watching Voyager from the beginning again. I am in the third season now.

Cool. I hadn't heard of this chain, but it looks like they have stores in nearby suburbs.

Michael's

Flail! Michael's is the STUFF!

I've never done a wedding that wasn't significantly supported by this chain. And they always seem to have exactly what I need on sale!

Michael's is responsible for over half of any set I've ever decorated. (The other half came from thrift stores and my own home. Theater people aren't packrats without reason - we know we're going to have to use that ugly mustard-yellow dish set in one production or another.)
