Found the one un-flakey dude on CraigsList! He drove an hour to get here and took our piano away this morning!! Hurray!! Now I'm waiting for Joe to get back from the coney island with our breakfast so we can start the final push of packing. It actually looks like we're moving now. And two of the three heaviest things we owned are gone and don't have to be moved!!

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Nope. That's the third heaviest. Monstro will never go away. The other heavy thing that is gone is the sofa bed.

took the cats out for a test drive. They were vocal and annoyed, but did pretty good! Aw, my boys.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
omnis just pony uped my henna tattoo budget.
Well done, omnis. Well done!
Monstro will never go away.
Sweet jeebus, what is Monstro?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Monstro is a giant bookshelf weighing approximately ten tons.

Monstro is 8' tall and 8' wide and 18" deep. He looks like a Tetris screen created out of painted pine boards. Joe's mom had an engineering student make it in 1970. It has been across the country twice (there and back again. much like Bilbo Baggins.). He will be used as a room divider in the basement of our new digs. Monstro has been the bane of my decorating lifestyle for years. At least until I was finally allowed to paint him last year. Now, I don't mind him so much.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Monstro was awesome. I always felt like you'd never run out of book space with him. Possibly because he'd eat the books but whatever.
Go with your moving self, Aims!

Our wings are not tired.
I don't know if I ever saw the "before" and "after" Monstro paint jobs. Do you have any pics!? And what a relief that the piano is gone. Awesome.

not your mom's socks.
Hive- mind advice requested, specifically from those who can advise on shiva dos and don'ts. My much-loved boss from a previous job just lost her father after an illness and is sitting shiva this week. I knew this was coming but haven't figured out the best way to pay respects. I'd like to make the visit, but I do not want to impose. I can send a tray if that's better -she will know I made a special trip if I do go, and I don't want that to become a big deal.
