Moving Sale

Kathryn — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 06:07:43 +0000

We had a huge moving sale last Saturday. We couldn’t have done it without our housemates’ help…and we’re all still friends! We got rid of a good bit of furniture and lots of odds and ends that we liked and were nifty, but that we just don’t have room for in the new place. It’s so hard to let go of stuff. But they are, after all, just things.

Here we are taking a break:

Tummy Time!

I’m stressed about moving, but don’t have the hands free enough to write. So here’s a cute picture instead.

Upgrades

I’ve upgraded the blog software and I am juggling themes and plugins this weekend. If anything acts funny, I’m not surprised.

La Musica Part II

I can’t take the pop radio. I’ve switched it to country.

My housemate/packing helper efficiently and wonderfully packed up the cds today. I am consigned to radio pop.

Losing Signs of My Geekiness

I’m posting my Eastman and Laird Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and my Elfquest comics on Ebay. I haven’t looked at them in over ten years. We’ll see if I get any nibbles. If not, they’ll go in our yard sale. And then to Good Will.

Why?

Kathryn — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 02:27:38 +0000

Why do total strangers think it’s ok to put their fingers in my baby’s mouth?

Freecycling

Kathryn — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 17:21:34 +0000

Freecycle is a local Yahoo group on which people post things that they no longer want and then other people who would like those items email the poster about their interest. Saturday, I posted a bunch of textbooks. Am I ever going to peruse that Differential Equations text? I don’t think so. But I’m not able to give up the Complex Variables or Abstract Algebra text just yet. Why? Do I really think that one day I’ll sit down and try to reteach it to myself? Actually, I was able tp let go of the Calculus book by thinking that one day I’ll have to tutor calculus and will need to get the student’s book anyway.

Back to Freecycle. I posted my textbooks and received several replies asking for them. How to choose? Ir’s very hard for me to decide on anything. So I decided to choose the replies that used capitalization and punctuation.

I picked:

Hi Kathryn,

I would like the accounting book and any of the chemistry/math books
that you can spare. I can pick them up today…just let me know what
time would work for you.

Instead of:

hi i would like to p/u all of your books if u still have

I feel old.

Quick Update

Three weekends ago, Tom’s dad came to visit and to see his granddaughter. He and Tom worked on the hole in the front bathroom wall, hanging sheet rock. We also went for a walk at the park and chowed down on pizza after church.

Then, two weekends ago (Fourth of July weekend), Tom and I went to Jacksonville for the NE Florida smithing guild meeting. We also went by the house the measure the rooms where we will be living with my uncle and great uncle (and their aides.)

This is Uncle Bud. He is ninety-six and still drives. Gotta love Florida.

Jay and Chrystal got to meet Kendall for the first time too.

Kendall is enamored of his granddaughter Kendall:
