Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'd love to come out there (I've honestly been thinking about it,) but the next few months are serious crunch time at work. I mentioned a mental health day to someone who shares my duties and she looked totally panicked.
And um, I hate moving (been in the same apt for a decade, peoples. And it is ok, but not that great!) I was once glad when I had to have an emergency brake job when I was supposed to help someone move. I'm good at babies, though!
HA! By late march we'll be moved.
I mean, I have a foreman (Allyson) and I have someone to watch Noah. So it's an issue of packing and schlepping.
What am I doing now? Putting clothes into an inventory for a consignment sale.
Kat, you should invite us all to a moving party and whoever is still there at the end gets to stay for the birthday shindig.
HA! Aurelia, that's hysterical...
The other issue we are finding is that for Grace to be at her birthday party, we need to bring the party to her. But her room doesn't have much space. There is an activity room, which isn't workable because then there would need to be staff assigned individually to her. There is a family room which is small, but might be workable. So i think the Grace portion of the party will be very very limited.
Though of course, anyone who wants to regularly visit Grace need only ask. We love people visiting her.
I have lots of schlepping experience.
This is our first move in ever that we had schlepping help. We have moved so many of our friends, but we never had help with our own moves. It was nice. We fed him nice dinners.
(eta: Now I'm posting from my laptop! Whohoo! If I had the car at home now I'd go driving around to see if I could post from the road. But I don't, and I'm wearing down the SO's battery. Seems like they should let it charge from the USB, but what do I know? Anyway, off I go to break down boxes, launder, dishwash, put away bins. But I will be back! For lo, I have the internets again!)
Liese, you can come and help us!
Sigh.
Almost all of the clothes are in the consignment inventory. I need to print tags and hang everything. I have $800 in the inventory (due to multiple breast pumps, a stroller and a lot of other crap). It's worth it, but ugh. It's work.
I'd be happy to!
Yeah, that is work, but will pay off.
link will go poof in a few minutes.
wah!
awesome doings though!
Yay for houses, Liese and Kat!! Although, at this point, a bigger YAY for Liese, posting from the new house!!!
I just had a really expensive yet delicious birthday dinner with a friend, and her friends, some of which I don't understand why she's friends with them. Overall good, though.
