Congratulations, Sara! Continued house~ma that all continues to go smoothly.
You should sign up for all the neighborhood listservs, etc., because people are always giving away moving boxes there and on freecycle.
I'd offer to help you pack, etc., but depending on timing I may have to plead my belly. I could send my husband to schlep things!
just ftr, I am almost always overwhelmed, BUT getting to help sara move will distract me from that.
Oh, I meant you aren't overwhelmed by the other person's packing issues, like the person packing (i.e., me) is.
Re echocardiograms - they're painless if somewhat gloppy.
If you need a trans-esophageal (sp?) echocardiogram, that's more serious, but you'd have been warned ahead of time if that's what they were doing.
And yay again for sarameg! Dark green towels - it'll help.
I know what you meant, just being cheeky.
So I've been thinking about clothes this morning. I decided in July to try and go a year without buying myself any clothes. I don't NEED any, that is for sure, it's just a matter of self control. Since, I have bought an Obama t-shirt and 2 pairs of tights, so pretty good, I think. Don't know what triggered it this morning, but I was taking stock of what I am wearing: Pants I bought in late 01/early 02, a sweater I knit (started in maybe 00, finished 08), a cardigan bought in 94, shoes bought in 00, underwear/bra and socks are all since 03. My purse is the newest thing, I think I got it in 07.
I love Jon Stewart's laugh. One of the great famous-people laughs.
I told mac last night that we will probably be coming down, he is excited to see miss sara and miss lisa.
aww YAY! What weekend were you thinking? (I'm in chicago next weekend so hoping it's not that one.) And furniture would be fine if you figure out a way to get it down here.
You know, I probably can't name the years I acquired any of my clothes except for a handful, like the shoes I got in January, which are fresh in my mind. Which when you consider that I'm a slow & deliberate shopper who doesn't impulse-buy a whole lot, would seem contradictory.
Maybe I just don't time-bind well.
I am trying to cut down on the number of clothes I buy too, but sometimes I slide. I have just gained enough weight this winter that some of my pants are uncomfortable to wear, so what I really need to do is lose that winter weight and a whole area of wardrobe opens back up for me.
My Zappos delivery should happen this morning! Does anyone else listen for their doorbell when they hit the "submit" button on Zappos?
Were I to put a ban on clothes-buying, I think I'd except underwear and tights/socks/pantyhose, because that stuff really does WEAR OUT. Unless I had like an excessive number of those already....
