Hi Flist, I'm still alive!

[supplyship]

Things of yay:* The great Supplyship Move '09 is complete, and all my stuff now resides at *my* house. The house I *own*. (Well, the bank owns most of it, but whatever). And I am completely moved out of the place that I rented - all I have to do is turn over the keys

Moving is definitely NOT a vacation, but I'm glad to hear you're getting settled. I'd send you a celebratory watermelon, but customs might think I'd injected it with Mad Cow and not vodka. *g*

The skin-peeling - were you doing a lot of cleaning this week? Too much bleach, etc?

PS: Pleas send some of that stink my way. It is chilly this week. Global warming is broken.

[supplyship]

Hee hee, vodka!melon! :D

Yes, TONS of cleaning! That must be it. I will have to slather my hands in lotion for the next week or so!

Oh, if I could send you some of the stink, I SO WOULD. Like 25 degrees or so. This is ridiculous! Global warming is indeed broken. Thor needs to come fix it.

We are hot here as well - and sticky as all get out. Have AC at home, but its so temperamental that I never know if it's working when I get home.

HOWEVER - congrats on the house!!!

You know, if there is any upside to our heatwave, it is that we don't get the humidity like you do along with it. I am crossing my fingers for you that your AC is working great! I bought a little window unit from Costco a couple of years, and the poor thing is really struggling.

And thank you so much! *bounces*

A/C is the best invention ever. The end. It's been between 105 and 110 here every. single. day. this summer, plus that beautiful gulf coast humidity of death. Is it a wonder they use to call Houston the most miserable place on earth? Or that we are the most A/Ced city in the country? I can totally respect the not unpacking for a long long time in this heat! And you, my dear, are made of serious yay as well! I missed ya'll on Friday!

[supplyship]

How can you STAND it?!?! I keep saying to myself, well, at least we don't have the humidity as well! You are a brave and wondrous people in Houston. :p

Yes, too hot to unpack! I think I might go see Harry Potter tonight. And again tomorrow night, heh.

[a_loquita]

Aww *hugs you*

Relax for a while, no need to completely unpack so soon. You deserve to just chill in the kiddie pool when you get home each night this week!

[supplyship]

I'll probably just wander the aisles of Home Depot (which is air conditioned) and think about how to paint the bathroom, etc. Or maybe go see a movie! Too hot!

*hugs back*

Maybe we can have a contest and see who gets all their boxes unpacked and put away first! I've been challenged by skydiver119 to have everything *don* by the time she comes for our Chicago Con trip August 20th. Still plenty of time, right?

[supplyship]

Ooh, good idea! That will get me motivated. Though I am seriously NOT doing anything in this heat. So I might have to start next week, LOL!

August 20th? Loads of time. Though make sure you save a box or two for her to help you with! :D

[sjhw_tolerance]

Wimp...though I do understand about the heat. You poor northwesterners. ;-) I don't think I can ask D to help me unpack anymore, poor gal actually helped me move it all from Omaha to Lincoln! The least I can do is make sure she space in the second bedroom in which to sleep when she's here!

[supplyship]

I know, I'm so wimpy! My only defense is that we are not used to this, and we aren't adequately prepared (i.e. most homes around here do not have a/c).

Aw, D is a good friend!
