500 books to port, yarghhhhhhhh......

I think I might have invented a new form of moving...."imagi-moving"..........where you look at, say, a stack of books, imagine what type of container you could possibly move them in, and then move on, with no actual packing taking place. You know, I get teased all the TIME about the sheer number of books I have, but I never REALLY saw it before. I don't look at a shelf or stack of books, I see the individual books. Today, baby, I saw the sheer unmitigated number of books I own. And I didn't even look at the ones I hid under the bed or in the basement. Oh boy, am I BAAAAAD. I suppose now is not the time to let Steve see the ol' checkbook, he might see that order from BOMC and wonder what the hell I was thinking. And so would I, hehehe. I don't have a clue how to move my plants. I do know that Ruby and my Kitchen Frugality angel will be the last two things I take out of here. We're going to have to pay rent for the month of June, as we couldn't give notice without a closing date, as the seller is not motivated and couldn't give a shit less, and our credit union isn't much better. Both parties were aware that this would cost us. Very nice. So...although it's costing us gobs of money, packing can go much slower than anticipated, especially when you have a whole additional month to do it. Kinda cool, the decision was taken out of my hands, and makes it less stressful [if moving a household is ever anything BUT] Also, I practiced so much I have to recharge both shuffles, and for some reason half the music is missing from the nano, so I'd better find out why. There's a FEW good reasons not to pack!

Also, I've been stuck in de debbil that is facebook. First, because of this pirate thing, it strikes me funnybone so much I can't tell you. So I look around my own facebook, at "me mateys" and lol. I go poke Steve at facebook, and see how long it takes him to poke me back, neither one of us is very good at remembering go in and check these things. I look at my kids, they are funny and interesting in their own rights. Then I go look at a certain niece whos' ass I will kick when I see her :O) There is a woman there I went to h.s. with. I remember her very fondly, but I don't know if she remembers me or not, ...even for all that facebook is public, it's private too, YKWIM? So I don't want to intrude. But I see her there and wish her well.

Oh, and here, a lil old but very useful...[I'd even rather clean my puter than box books :X]......... a 'freebies for your puter' link:
