Ugh, quester. That's certainly a good excuse. Feel better.

I have loads of stuff to do but just want to nap. Maybe a cup of tea would help.

I'm watching Captain America with Dylan and DH and ordering groceries online. (Oh god, if I move to the suburbs I'm going to have to leave my couch to get groceries, aren't I? What are we thinking??)

I'm pretty sure Peapod is in the suburbs! You will be OK.

Oh, Jesse, I have King Peggy's book on my TBR..er "pile" isn[t the right word when you're talking about Oyster, but...

I've read a couple of articles and watched a short news piece and if seems utterly fascinating!

Oooh, Jilli, that font IS nice: [link]

I'll have to go look at the other suggested fonts, but now I gotta get off my ass and do some cleaning and unpacking.

Good point, Jesse. WHEW.

I'm jealous of your Embassy/Passport adventures, Jesse! Dang, some things I miss from DC.

This morning, as my friend was driving us to go walk around the lake, I noticed someone else's car tabs that expire in March. And remembered that mine always expire in March. But I didn't remember doing them this year. Had I done it in like, February and already forgotten? When I came home I looked at my car. Nope. Totally expired over a month ago now. Oops.

Unpacking continues apace. I just broke down all the boxes I have unpacked and have a huge pile. I still have the majority of the kitchen and my bookcases to pack and move. I'm having to let go of my two HUGE bookcases. I just don't have room plus there are some built in cases (not as much shelf space). It feels SO WRONG to give them up. While there is more square footage here, it is mostly adding a third bedroom. I love my living room, but there is less storage space.

Right now I'm stumped on how to deal with my DVD collection. I had been using some shelves I had gotten from Ikea and, again, those won't fit in the new house but there is a built in cabinet next to the tv that is very deep and has one shelf. I'm sure I can pile my DVDs in there, but would lose any sense of order (yes, I have kept them alphabetized and I hate the idea of no order).

Suzi, what about baskets, or boxes, or have someone handy build you "drawers"--just open boxes you can tack glides on the bottom in the corners. If the shelf openings are tall enough to stand a dvd in, you can build the drawer boxes wide enough to stand the dvd cases in, and long enough to occupy the entire depth of the shelf. If the shelf opening is too short for dvds to stand in, build the boxes wide enough to set the dvd cases in, spines up. Put as many deep dvd drawer-boxes next to each other as the width of the shelf allows. Organize each box, and there's your collection, easy to access, and easy to find what you're looking for. Just a thought.

An email went out here at work about a set of keys found in the east elevator shaft. Which only amps up my anxiety about dropping my ID card down that gap.

Timelies all!

Apparently, Agatha Christie's 125th birthday is this year. The closing tea at Malice Domestic had that as a theme, and everybody got a copy of the Poirot novel that recently came out.(obviously written by a different writer)
