Moving, news, babble, free stuff
We are really getting down to the wire with the moving, and things are looking ... hey, not so bad!
Up in Hudson, I have two rooms nearly finished (painting), and there's great progress on getting the rest
of stuff that needs to be done up there ... done.
Here in Natick, there are more boxes then stuff laying around - that HAS to be progress.
I've got stuff separated out for donation, and stuff designated to move. The only iffy thing is that I'm rapidly
running out of pod space. I believe tomorrow D and I will load my car and head up to Hudson - finish up
at least one of the rooms with the painting, and unload a load of stuff that we can easily transport by car.
Monday I have a couple of guys coming to move the rest of the stuff that's getting moved into the pod -
especially the rest of the furniture.
Everything I'm not taking is ending up out on the curb - where donations people will be encouraged to
come take it away, or really anyone who comes by and wants stuff.
There is still a ton of stuff to go away, from clothes to kitchen stuff to nickknacks to furniture - and its all
free, so srsly, if there was something you think you might want? Anytime after lunch tomorrow, anytime
Sunday, anytime Monday, I'll be here. The rest of the week is going to be back and forth, but most of
the stuff will be outside by then so come and take what you want.
Need a nice, solid wooden dresser? How about an old style heavy wood men's armoire with three small
drawers and two cubboards on the top behind cabinet doors and several large full-sized drawers on
the bottom? Shelves, metal or wood? Bookcases? A random assortment of pressboard storage
furniture in white? How about some good wooden endtables that only need a new finish?
Need an entire wardrobe in women's clothes? How about some holiday decorations, or a heavy double
door metal cabinet? Need a few wheeled office chairs? Or decorative half-heigh book shelves?
How about kitchen goods or cookbooks? Want an old color tv for the kids playroom so you don't have
to let them wreck a good one? It's all out there and more.
Come and get it, it's FREE FREE FREE. Grab it before the end of May or it's GONE GONE GONE.
I hate to see so much stuff going to get junked when so much of it is useful... give us a ring or just stop
by unnannouced and grab what you want - help yourself and give some useful stuff a good home.
And now for your entertainment - the quote of the night.
When discussing possible natural disasters and sinking islands and tidal waves, my son's only response
to the concept of Hawaii being sunk in to the ocean was that ...
"But that will create a tidal wave that could reach Scotland!" (no, I did not supervise his Geography lessons).
"And that's what your worried about, that it could flood Scotland, not Hawaii sinking into the ocean?"
"Mom. C'mon. It's SCOTland ... and David Tennant is Scottish so he lives there! I don't want ANYthing
to happen to where HE lives."
And there you are. 13 year old lack of logic with an also tremendous lack of geographical knowledge.
If any of YOU can figure out how Hawaii sinking in the ocean could cause a tidal wave in Scotland,
I would SO like to know it!
