Yeah, I hear ya on the TV thing. We have no couch in our living room cuz DF had to have it in his theater room(basement). We only had 2 couches and the other one is in the fam room. All we have in our living room is a table!! I promise it will be over before ya know it. It seems like it will never end, but it does. My moving was a week in He**. Just think how happy you will be when it is over. Try to at least make 1 room comfortable. Then you can hide out if you need to.

:hugs: Cho!! You've done the first step!! Nikki's absolutely right... get one room where you can disappear to. And your Mom is only a phone call away... it'll make weekends and such that much more special when you do get together, and keep telling yourself how much calmer this place will be, how much more space you have, and how much better it will be for the lil' princess on the way!:love:


ETA: :yahoo::happydance::dothewave:

cho, congrats on the move. it's tough enough moving... significantly more so when preggers, with pets and during the freezing cold! but, it's worth it. what a wonderful new home it'll be!

jenni... woooo hooo!!!

Cho, wish I was close enough to come help you move. At least for me, it can help to just have sympathetic company/support. Doing it (essentially) alone is tough!

We're not moving any time soon but we're getting rid of a lot of stuff that's piled up over the years, either throwing it away or donating it to Salvation Army for their thrift store. I have no idea why some of it is even here.

The CD of the MRI is a good idea, I never thought of that. I can take it to my chiropractor since he wants to see what he's working with. I've never liked going to a chiro before but this one has made a world of difference for me.

I'm busy sewing blankets for the dog's beds right now. We have four Kuranda beds which are very nice and three of the four dogs have long hair so it never occurred to me they'd 'need' a fleecy blanket on the beds in the winter!

Cho - hang in there and be super gentle with yourself. YOu have lots of transition going on in your life. Men and tv's - guffaw - umm - maybe like us and our purses. A bit.

Lest you all pass out at seeing me chatting away this fricking early in the morning...I'm just getting ready to dash to work. So have to go get some coffee made STAT. 12 hours of work today MINIMUM. 3 assessments. Which means 3 more reports.

I just reread what I typed - shocked that I can produce sentences prior to coffee.

ETA - except that last sentence doesn't make a lot of sense.

LOL Sally - Have a good day of work. I've been studying so much myself I've been wondering if that can damage my brain! I went to the gym wednesday and I was dizzy from the big open space after having my face stuffed in a book for so many hours at a time. One more week and I should be done and my mom will be arriving!!! I can't wait!!

Cho - Hang in there! You can do it!!! I've been so far from my mom for so long I'm looking forward to having her here, but I'm already sad she's leaving in three months, I wish she would just stay with me.

Jenni - :happydance:

Thanks everyBUDDY for the support. I feel a little betterand just have to take it one BOX at a time.

My mom actually came up with us and is spending her birthday long weekend here cleaning like a beast. I don't know what I would do without her. The irony that I moved an hour away from her.

Oh, and the king is still sleeping. :cursing: MEN.

Good luck on finals, all you student HHHotties!!! :ghi5:

Cho.... sweetie... he's worked SOOOOOO hard!! Salt in his coffee, I'm thinking.:thinkin:

Sally, LOL. I was wondering why you were up! Good luck with a long day! :hugs: I've just put the pear tart in the oven--for the department Xmas party... it'll go so well with the grocery store chicken tenders and veggie trays people are sure to bring.:wtf: Actually, it's funny. I have this competition going w/one of the Spanish profs :queen: She ALWAYS brings flan. :rolleyes:

Cho- I'm not even done packing from my move in September. ITA that making one room unpacked and decorated is the way to go. We've only got 2 rooms done at our house. We actually don't have a TV in this house. So I don't have to deal with that but I've got to deal with super super slow renovation workers here and what makes it worse is that my hubby is the general contractor... I want to steal your hubby and get some stuff done. Us soft talkers don't fair well as bosses here in italia. :laugh:

Jenn- YAY! last day of classes! I'm sure your eyes need a much needed break from all the essays and bad writing.

Last day of classes! Woot!

Cho- we moved 13 years ago and not all our stuff made it out of the boxes (a few months ago I donated it all) . I would make your bedroom first priority and the rest will happen when it happens.

<confession: I love my big screen TVs as much, if not more than, my purses>

Cho - unpacking always sucks. :hugs: I hope you get lots of help. OMG I so hear you about the TV. When we were at toss stuff in the closet stage of guest prep recently the DH was puttering around wanting to put up posters, grumbling about not having them framed :cursing:. Perhaps the focus issue is a variant of male fridge blindness.

Jenni - yay for the last day of class!


MD - i hope things are going better.

LOL! We just had the department "party" (it's always so sad... all of us clustered around the copy room with students busting in on us to turn in portfolios :p) and my nemesis, who ALWAYS makes flan, psyched me out and made a delicious basil pesto quiche!! It was so funny... we were dancing around each other's dishes and finally just ended up on the same little sofa together, planning a retirement catering company. The pear tart went over well. Our one philosophy prof (who is stuck with us 'cause who needs a Philosophy department these days?:wacko:) even managed three words about it to me! He NEVER bothers to talk to me!!

Cho, like everyone is saying, one box at a time. If you have a room you're not using make I*Rod haul it all in there so that you don't have to see it. I felt so closed in and horrible and stressed out until I organized my boxes and put them all in the part of the house I don't use.

Suzanne, you can also ask for a copy of the MRI report. It usually takes a few days/weeks, so you won't get it right then with the CD, but if you fill out the form while you are there it can be mailed to you when it is ready. I always get all of mine because I have so many different doctors and me translating the dumbed down version of the report that one doctor told me to another doctor from memory ends up in mass confusion.

So I'm happy to have a job and be back at work, but :censor: I dealt with one vendor for 12 hours straight yesterday. As that was finally wrapping up at 2:30am I got a barrage of frantic emails from another vendor. I dealt with their issue until 5am when I finally decided that I didn't care and just turned off my blackberry and went to bed. Then I had to get up at 7 to get into the office early for an appointment. After dealing with VPs, GMs and legal regarding our massive outage due to vendor error, I finally sit down at my desk to discover a completely stupid request from another vendor and it is obvious that they are just trying to deflect the fall-out from missing deadlines and now my department has to be bothered with it. I'm pro in-sourcing right now. I see a desk-nap in my future.

Chomamatobe..first move DH and I made was from a studio in the Bronx. 32 years later, I still have boxes in the basement labeled "apartment hallway closet paperwork, Bronx" etc..seriously. DH claimed he'd go through it when it had the time..TV did get put up, as did his tools, and his gardening ****e..le sigh. I still don't know how we managed to move so many times without tossing them :wtf:.

Honeybunny, I empathize with ya. Last three moves I was preggers..in fact, when we were looking at houses, I must have barfed in every house's loo.

Slowly, slowly catchee monkey. It won't be perfect or even near perfect for a long time. Key is budgeting your time and taking care of yourself.

Don't overburden yourself, don't lift anything heavy. If you don't need it immediately it can wait..just don't wait 32 years. I'm so happy that this time I move, I will be able to give away, sell, rehome, gift, toss tons of detritus. Of course, I will have to do it when DH is at work..he's incorrigible..pack rat supreme.

Radio silence commences. Sliced finger open on food processor blade (Jenni..LOL..I should have used a hand grater..and congrats on making it through yet another semester..ITA about catering company..ummm...perhaps there is a need someone who can do multi-ethnic, Kosher, macrobiotic, vegetarian and oddities???)
It happened because DH started yelling at DS for doing something he was unhappy about and I jumped while dismantling it..ironically, DS did it the same exact way he sees DH do it..classic do as I say not as I do. I burned the other hand because I was rushing. DH stitched me up, and I always have Silvadine(?) on hand..oops..horrible pun. Food is cooked though thanks to DS's help; enough to feed two football teams after practice.

Have a wonderful weekend, Hotties in case I can't post for a bit :hugs:
