Pack pack pack all day long

[judecorp]

The plan for the day is to do a lot of packing. The weather is cooperating by being especially horrific. It is so gross outside - really pouring down rain, windy and grey. Yuck. Good day to stay inside and pack. Too bad we've been sitting on our butts watching things like "Flip this House" on A&E On Demand.

I packed one box. That's a start, right? I did summer clothes. By the time I need them again, I won't fit into them. Har har. I also pulled out more clothes for the Goodwill bag. I also need to put some of my computer stuff on craigslist ASAP (my old desktop, scanner, printer, and computer desk). I hate packing.

Jen is in the spare room diligently packing whatever is stashed into that huge storage closet. It's like the land that time forgot in there. When we were remodeling the spare room I found a box from when we moved that we had never unpacked! (Dang, I should have left it.) Does anyone LIKE packing? Want to come over? I will give you a big kiss.

Okay, back to packing. Maybe I will do books next. Good times.

do you want boxes? Because the bookstore I'm working at has a TONNE of boxes in the back, and they'd like to be rid of them, and I seem to recall you need more, so if you come by on Monday night (Pandemonium books, 4 Pleasant St., in central square), we can load you up right good.

You know what? I could probably use some boxes. I will actually be in Central Square tomorrow evening for book club. What time will you be there? Book Club is at 6 or so and usually runs a couple hours. Let me know.

from 6 until 11. so you can easily come over after book club, unless you have a really raucous, swinging one that parties late.

Ha ha! HA HA HA HA! I am OLD, remember?

true, but pregnant women get all sorts of strange urges....pickles and ice cream...book clubs that rock on until 4 am on weeknights...

poor jen.

Eh. Jen will be living the high life in Western MA and won't be dealing with /anything/. :)

I like packing and am extremely good at it. I can't help this weekend because of the head cold and the looming project deadline. But perhaps I can offer to come help you make major inroads into this next weekend?

*no, really, I'm not lying or exagerating. I am a packing fiend! And I can tetris a truck together like nobody's business. Just ask Dchenes, I packed her truck to move to Ohio for grad school. over 500 miles and not a single thing moved in the load or got broken. And she still had 6 feet of room to spare at the tail of the truck for last minute shit.*

I am a mean packer, too. We would be quite a team! Any time you want to come over is okay with me, evenings or weekends. Next Sunday we will probably spend part of the day with my grandparents, but otherwise it will be moving central up in here!

[whuffle.livejournal.com]

Okay. How's about we touch base middle or late in the coming week to plan a time to have a little pack-fest? Halley and I should be looking at houses again next weekend once I have my draft grant out of my hair. That will probably take place Saturday morning. So maybe sometime on Saturday after we hunt the wild house will work for everyone?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me. Chat with you during the week! :) (And good luck with the house hunt.)

[scirocco.livejournal.com]

I only pack trucks, not boxes. Sorry. :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Heh. Well, we're debating hiring movers because Jen has been having a hard time lifting boxes. So you might be off the hook!

[scirocco.livejournal.com]

You don't need to be lifting boxes, that's what I and others are for. :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, we can't BOTH sit around and watch y'all move our stuff! :) Besides, instead you can come to the new place and help move everything into the right places or something!

I am so utterly useless in this move.

[odd-dog.livejournal.com]

hon, do you need boxes? I have a bunch left over from my move and could maybe drop 'em off midweek sometime, or next weekend. Let me know.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Bring it. I love boxes!

(And whatever I don't use I could totally dispose for you if you needed me to. Viva la craigslist!)

Also, it gives me an excuse to see you.

if I had a way up there, i would come help you pack, just to see you two. actually, packing other people's stuff is kinda fun. it's poacking my own stuff that i hate.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Heh, I like packing other people's stuff, too. Especially because when you get tired of it, you can just go home! :)

But anytime you want to come by, you let me know. Although during the week Jen isn't here.

[rachelmichellek.livejournal.com]

i have no bucks for amtrak right now, sadly. :(

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Money sucks.

[iansha.livejournal.com]

I hate zee packing. Funny, I should be doing the same RIGHT now, myself. :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

But you're sick! You need to be taking it easy, too.

I wish we both had magic wands. :)

[iansha.livejournal.com]

Indeed! Although, I did pack several boxes of books/cds/etc sitting on the floor of the living room. I can say I did "something"!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha! I have packed 9 boxes now! 7 books, 1 clothes, 1 stuffed animals. I am a MACHINE!
