Can I brag about my husband for just a second? In addition to the awesome mother's day he has planned tomorrow, he came home today with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers (sunflowers, yellow roses with pink tips, daisies, etc.) and a package of 'double stuf' oreos to "get the celebration started early." (We've been on a pretty strict diet for the last several weeks.)

I love this movie. I didn''t love the book, I didn''t love the 1995 miniseries, but I am obsessed with this movie.

Also, I''m super excited he''s going to be Prior Phillip in The Pillars of the Earth miniseries.

What movie is this?

Since we''re moving in a few weeks, I''m putting our Netflix subscription on hold and it''d be nice to have a selection of movies (from the library) to watch.

Packing is a b*tch. I hate it, I really do.

Pride and Prejudice! I love the movie, and the book. I love all of her books. I'm actually reading Sense and Sensibility for the nth time right now.

TRUE STORY. It is the worst in the world. Seriously awful. I typically just don''t pack until it''s too late and I have to throw random crap in boxes. I am a joy to move with, in case you were wondering.

How''s your packing going? Are you moving back up north? I must have missed an update somewhere!

That''s so sweet of him! The flowers sound beautiful and the oreos sound even better.

Ah, you and my husband would get along so well, Thing!

Packing''s going well, but for some reason, I seem to be doing the majority of it. My husband''s waiting, but I''m not sure what he''s waiting for. The last minute, I suppose. Yes, we''re moving back to New England. He got a job in our home state, and I''m looking for another job closer to where he''ll be working (which is on the water, where we''d ultimately like to be). If I don''t find something, I''ll return to the school where I had worked before we came down here. We''re not actually sure where we''ll live, but that''s a whole other story. We might be doing the LDR thing since our jobs will be 1.5 hrs. away from each other.

What a great husband you have, EB! Happy Mother''s Day!

I hate the first day back to work after a vacation.

Zoe - best of luck to you in your packing. I'm in the same situation as you.

I'm sitting here hating packing, drinking diet coke, procratinating, etc., while heaping piles of liqeur store boxes loom in my dining room. I brought home more than I need. When I was filling my gas tank, some dorky guy commented on how much I must love "Wild Turkey," or something along that line.

The worst too is that 1/2 of our stuff is going into storage so I have to decide what's worthy of keeping out and what can be forgotten about for 6 months. Books probably will end up in storage

PLUS, the fish tanks. How in the h*ll do I move THOSE? Yeah, empty them, but when filling them with water from another water source, they don't acclimate right, and what if they die? Two look easy enough to replace (without kids knowing) but one is some odd betta that's too unique to replace w/out my kids realizing. AH. Why can't I drink at 11 AM?

 

[Strawdermangrl]

ughh...seems like everyone is packing.

Moving in, eh, less than 20 days.
Packing that has started? None.
Planned packing? Hopeful, at best.

Ughh. I need to get motivated.

Yeah, I have a little under two weeks. lol Was selling stuff on CL to get stuff out of here, but am postponing that. Also have about 12 boxes of donations that are taking up space in my house. What mess. My MIL came over, looked around in horror, and ran out the door! lol

 

[Porridge]

It''s shaping up to be a good summer. Lots of friends around, weather isn''t too bad, lots of activities and trips planned...overall, a big improvement on 2009

things are starting to look up!

 

[that_someone_special]

We just had a really weird check amount cashed through FI''s checking account from a "bank teller"...

He didn''t cash anything and neither did I

I hope it was bank error and not stolen information

 

[lilyfoot]

swedish bean, that''s horrible! ugh, I really hope it was just an error ..

 

[yssie]

Yikes!! I hope everything''s okay, swedish!!

 

[that_someone_special]

So far they said we can shut the account down and ALL pending transactions will be stopped (so, including the gas that was paid on the check card, groceries) or we can wait until tomorrow and they might be able to tell where/ what it''s from. We are waiting until tomorrow morning.. eh..

It looks like fraud at this point to us ... Grr!!

Oh, also, my cat barfed all over my dining room table. When I saw it, I cleaned it up (just now) but it had already taken the finish off.

Today can end!!

swedish bean, I hope it was just a glitch!

Happy Mother's Day!

Thank you, Zoe!

Still packing today? Is your husband helping out a bit more? I know it sucks.

Oh yeah, we''ve got boxes piling up everywhere too. We''re planning on throwing stuff in storage also, at least until we figure out where we''d like to settle. It depends on whether or not I get a job near my husband''s new job. If so, great, and we''ll find something more permanent later on this summer. If not, I''ll be doing the long-distance thing while staying with my parents during the week (almost 1.5 hrs. away) and seeing him on weekends. Fun fun!

Good luck to you and your family in your move, MC!

I think I've suddenly become allergic to green apples... can that happen??



I've never had any issues with them before - in fact, they were my favourite snack for years! Last night I was eating one and my lips began to hurt really badly - I stopped eating and took a benadryl and the swelling went down. I thought it was just something strange. Today I tried another - same thing!

Maybe it's the wax or something?

You''re welcome! He actually wrapped and packed all of our table lamps yesterday. I know I complain (maybe too much?), but he really is a great guy. Packing and housework aren''t really his strong points though. It''s been a bone of contention for a long time, but I''m working on being okay with what he DOES do.

 

[joelly]

We had a very good weekend, DH and I. We hung out with close friends/family to celebrate our mothers. Then yesterday he surprised me by going home early from work so we can spend sometime together. I married an incredible guy.

The reaction could have been from the pesticides or something on the apples. Did you wash them well? Maybe try another store?

They were from Safeway, I did rinse them but I didn''t scrub... I''ll try the farmer''s market in a couple of days. Fingers crossed!

Not at all- moving is no fun. I hope you''re able to find a job near your husband''s job!
