(Muffled) Appo Jews?

If you hear any of us making this odd comment over the next few days; I must explain.

We’re moving into the final 10 days of packing. As a result I commented yesterday that for the first day or two we’ll still be telling people, “No, let’s sort… let’s arrange”… which of course will be followed by the last 3 days of, “F*@#&K IT, THROW IT IN A BOX”

This of course was followed with me suggesting the following scene..

I tap on a box. I tap on another box. I tap on the third box and a muffled voice says, “Appo Jews?” (tr: Apple Juice)

Ah, that’s where the toddler got to.

With this image jnanacandra and Tzaddi_93 were convulsing.

Note: No toddlers were actually boxed in the proposal of this humourous potential incident.

T-24 Days: Status, Moving, Get Stuff!

I realise that not only isn’t everyone on FaceBook or Twitter; that some actively avoid it. I get it. I don’t go near MySpace for example.

That being said; I am utilising FaceBook and Twitter extensively this month for the process of moving.

Item 1: Truck loading day

Last evening I posted my call for Truck loading help.

I will be loading the truck the weekend of the 27th-29th. And I can use ALL hands on deck. I will be feeding and libating all that come by. Granted; if I know in advance… it helps me with getting the food in advance.

If you are on Facebook, head on over to the event page at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=136178490243 and sign up. Even if you can only come for a short while; any time is beyond appreciated. If you’re not sure.. tick the "maybe" on the RSVP.

If you don’t like Facebook; drop a comment here.

Item 2: Take it away

THIS WEEEKEND: March 14th and 15th… We are having a massive packing and garage-ish sale, open house. Craft supplies, Books, Tables, TVs, Sofa, Bikes, Knick-Knacks, Chotchkies… And the cost to you is dragging it off. Donations accepted.

Come by, help box, get fed, or just rummage. We have a Lava Lamp ready for a new home!

Come one come all 🙂

T-29 days and counting: Calendar!!!!

Crazy? Naaaaah!

I have put up our public calendar on GCal at http://is.gd/lXTs (Gods, I love is.gd! The full link realllly SUCKS!)

We have solid move dates. We are packing a 26ish foot truck with everything except the piano over the weekend of the 27th-29th. Hopefully we’re done late Saturday, Early Sunday. As we must to be doing a huge clean as well.

We pull out Monday and then unpack in St. Louis (at an address we don’t even have yet!) the following weekend April 3rd thru 5th. (Yeah.. happy b’day me :-/ )

Please look at our schedule. It’ll give you an idea when to drop by to help box, take stuff away (We gots furniture) and of course.. moving day where we need as many folks as we can muster. (We’ll be getting rid of a 1/2 tonne of alcohol and food that day and wall to wall snacks.)

For those of you that we barely know on the StL side… We need to muster help too. We’ll be unloading everything and will have the remaining 1/2 tonne of alcohol and pizza and other stuph. Any help and suggestions are welcomed. What better way to meet new people than to see them at their worst while you unload their stuff!?!?

Forthcoming will be a web page with the stuff we are getting rid of that people can come and claim. Often for the price of you getting it out of the house.

More coming. Now an hour behind on everything.

JOY!!!

(Both an expression of chaos and a random call out for no reason to one of the people in the universe I hold very dear in my heart)

Off for a box run

T – 30 days and counting

Posted on LiveJournal FIRST!

Talk about a whirlwind. I am to start work the first Monday in April in St. Louis. So I have quite the adventure ahead.

This week I have 4 separate professional movers coming in to give me (Obscene) estimates. In the mean time I am pricing u-drag-it rentals to see how much we could conceivably do on our own. (Note: If anyone would like to talk to us to spend a week driving a 26′ truck cross country for room, board, expenses, and a flight home… drop me a line)

By the end of the week, I intend to have our move dates set.

Many have already asked the wonderful question: HOW CAN I HELP!?!?

First and foremost… we need boxes. We need to have everything packed within 3 weeks. Several of you have participated in this and as always there will be plenty of libations. When will this be going on? Well, we are currently home all day, all evening. Which means… pick a time.. tell me you wanna drop by… And let’s box and sort. In most cases… you might not even have to give me any warning.

We are also planning to get rid of a lot of stuff along the next 3 weeks. This ranges from craft making supplies, through old computer hardware and books, passing by toddler supplies, up to furniture. And it’s gonna likely be close to if not free.

We’re planning our big giveaway party over the weekend of the 14th/15th. But if you help out before that and want to offer poachers rights, “Oh, you’re getting rid of this?” We’ll probably let it go earlier. All you have to do is drag it’s carcass out of here. (And yes.. again.. some of the furniture is part of the offer)

We needs you peoples… more will be posted on a regular basis.

In the mean time.. I’m gonna go back to reeling from my stomach goo.

St. Louis?!?!? ANNOUNCEMENT

Filed Under: Uncategorized by Lord Andrei — 32 Comments

If you follow my twitter/facebook you’ll notice I’ve been quite the past few days.

It is true. I am again to be reemployed in the not too distant future in the far off lands of St. Louis. Well, not too far off if you live there.

A few people got the impression I was definitely going there, when we went out the weekend before last for a weekend of interview, sick toddler, and s00j surprising. Honestly, it was just an interview and after having been out of work for 14 months; I don’t get excited over an on-site interview.

This is a huge move for us. This will be a huge experience for Aiden (that he’s likely to soon forget).

And that means… it’s moving time again.

We put the call out to all folks in Seattle (and to St. Louis.. of which we know like 4 people informally)… Any help is welcome and will be happily rewarded. Boxing, packing, eating of copious pizza, and other such thanks. Boxes, etc…

We’ll also be throwing a huge ‘garage sale/take our extra stuff for free party.’ – We’re getting rid of a tonne of stuff and we’d rather see it go to friends than goodwill or the dump.

If you are interested in helping an ANY way whatsoever.. please comment here, facebook, twitter… And we’ll show you the schedule. It’s going to be a WIIILLLLD month of March.

More forthcoming.

-Freeple

Edit I was out of work for 14 months the LAST time I was looking for a job. This one seems to have been muuuuuch shorter. I’ve been cautious from the history as well as the economy.

Sorry 😉
