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.
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.
Kat, LA Kids Consignment sale?
Oh, come on kids! Don't be stupid!
A graduate of Loyola University Chicago was arrested Monday after he was observed on the Rogers Park campus with a disabled gun he had signed out of the theater department, Chicago police said.
The incident occurred about 2:20 p.m. when a student in school's student union reported that the man was "displaying a prop gun used in theatrical productions," Officer JoAnn Taylor said.
Okay. Back to throwing stuff away.
Hey! Us too! Only we haven't thrown anything away yet. But I called my mother to alert her to the fact that I was going to throw something (sort of jointly owned) away, as the cats have ruined it.
She was better about it than expected, even before I gave her carte blanche to go take plants from my backyard.
We're looking at houses this weekend. This is a very strange sensation.
Somehow I managed to wash 2 sharpies and my thumb drive in a single load of laundry. I caught the thumb drive and one of the sharpies before they went into the dryer. The 2nd sharpie disintegrated in the dryer. It was mostly clothes I do grimy work in, so I don't think much damage was done. I'm letting the thumb drive dry out overnight before I test it. Wish me luck.
...whoah. A whole hour of silence, in Natter?
I mean, I'm scared and impressed by aurelia's sharpie-washing, too, but dang! C'mon, people, let's get some entertainment going!
