The movers are here...

[Misunderestimator]

and everything's boxed and lined up and they've taken 20 minutes already opening up the truck... will be a long morning :)

[matcom]

1. YAY!!

:bounce:

kick their asses though. if you don't they will take ALL DAY LONG!

[Misunderestimator]

2. Yeah, unfortunately I'm also working while they're here...

they'll finish eventually :)

California, here I come!! :bounce:

[MrScorpio]

3. Have a safe trip

See you on the other side, Sweet Thang

[Misunderestimator]

4. Thanks, hon!

:hi:

[SarahB]

5. Wonderful news!

I'm jealous. I haven't had any luck apartment hunting on my own, so I'm calling a realtor friend of mine to see if she can hook me up with a condo rental or something.

I did a long rant yesterday here, but the kicker was getting yelled at last night for talking privately to a friend of mine ("You think you can talk to some guy while you're still here?" when it wasn't a guy and even if it was it's none of his f*cking business anymore). Sorry for venting, but I know you know what it's like to be somewhere you don't wish to be. Anyway, it's almost done for me and I'm glad it's done for you!!! Woo-hoo!!! :bounce:

[Misunderestimator]

6. Yes, indeed, it has been a very long 10 months...

trapped somewhere I can't stand being. Counting the days now... what a relief!

Good luck with your situation, glad it's almost done for you too!! :)

[johnnie]

7. Very cool

Hope all goes smoothly.
I am really happy for you two and I am sure that you both are even happier :)
I bet you are excited.. I have to confess that I am a little jealous right now..lol. Finding that right person must be such a great feeling. Here's to both of you and here's to a safe and trouble-free move. :toast:
Have fun.

[Misunderestimator]

9. I feel like the luckiest person on earth.

It's a good feeling :) Thanks for the well wishes. :toast:

[fishnfla]

8. You cant leave! All the plants will die!

which movie is that line from?

[Misunderestimator]

11. Hmmmm... I don't know.

:shrug: (Though plants regularly die under my care anyway :))

[Toby109]

32. Can I guess?

Ok, I will anyway.

"Stripes"

[LynzM]

10. Woo-hoo!!

Congrats again, and have a safe trip!! :bounce:

[Misunderestimator]

12. Thanks!

The trip starts in a week, meanwhile, I'll be in a half-empty house... but I'm happy as hell!! :hi:

[LynzM]

14. You guys are driving, right?

How long is it going to take you to drive that far? :wow:

[Misunderestimator]

16. We're giving ourselves 4 days...

We could take less time, but we want to enjoy the trip too.

[LynneSin]

13. Here's a Led Zeppelin Moving Song for you

Led Zeppelin Going to California lyrics
Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
as the children of the sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

[Misunderestimator]

17. AAAwwwww, that is SO fitting!

(Except my woman was definitely born, and she plays guitar.) :)

[LynneSin]

22. Well hopefully she has love in her eyes and you can always buy...

...the flowers for her hair

:bounce:

[Misunderestimator]

23. Why yes... she definitely has love in her eyes :)

Not sure if she'd like flowers in her hair, but if she wants em she's got em. :bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

15. I wish I was free the day you two were going to be in this area.

Stupid friends and their wedding! :P

[Misunderestimator]

18. dump em... they can't be as cool as NSMA and me :)

[GOPisEvil]

19. If I waas just a guest, I would show up late, but...

...I'm IN the wedding. I think they'd notice my absence.

[Misunderestimator]

20. Shoot... well, there will be a next time, for sure.

Maybe the wedding will be a roaring good time :)

[GOPisEvil]

21. It will be fun. We're going out to a show after the reception!

I love having music fans as friends. They're not wearing their wedding clothes to the show though. :pout:

[prolesunited]

24. How exciting!

Based on personal experience, I can assure you the best is yet to come. :bounce:

[Misunderestimator]

27. Thanks!

They're half done now!! I'm half out of here. :bounce:

[JimmyJazz]

25. I couldn't be happier for you, darling.

:)

[Misunderestimator]

28. I'm on TOP of the WORLD!!

Making like a masthead on a ship... :)

[JimmyJazz]

30. Or a hood ornament?

:P

[Misunderestimator]

31. Bwaahaaaaaahaaaa!!

YES!

[NV Whino]

26. Welcome to CA... a bit in advance n/t

[Misunderestimator]

29. Thank you... only a bit more than a week and it's official...

I'll start paying state income tax!! Woohoooo!

[jonnyblitz]

33. wow, it's that time already!!

be safe you two. :hug::hi:

[Misunderestimator]

36. Not quite time... my stuff will be taking longer to get there...

so it's going today, but we're starting our drive in a week. I did however, just give them great tips and they promised to do their best to deliver in California on the day I need them to... Thanks! :hug:

[jonnyblitz]

37. oh ok...

I should have realized this, duh me, i just woke up and not quite on the ball yet! :P

[StopTheMorans]

34. did they bring the shakers?

:shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

41. God, I hope not... whatever they are...

Though I'm sure my stuff will get shaken pretty good. :)

(But if you mean, real shakers... then I hope so, I LOVE their furniture.)

[StopTheMorans]

42. i don't think that there are any real shakers left:)

i did a report on them in college, and, IIRC, the last of them died in the 1920's and bequeathed their land to the town they lived in.

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. Have they gotten to the part where they scratch your table yet?

Mis, I am so happy and excited for you all rolled into one. I am hoping someday soon to make a trip out to see my brothers and my new niece and soon to be niece/nephew, and I would love to meet you both.

May all the joy in the world and life's best be yours in the coming weeks, months and years.


Hugs and Kisses,
Laura

[Misunderestimator]

39. Thank you so much!

Fortunately, most of my furniture is antiques I've collected over the years... sort of rough, early American antiques replete with scratches already... I don't think I'll notice if they add a couple. :) My last three moves have already robbed me of some fragile things I should have been more careful with. Now, I have nothing much to worry about.

I would LOVE to meet you, Laura. Hope it's soon. :hug:

[progmom]

38. Yippy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ain't love grand? I'm so happy for the both of you.

:toast:
Here's to two fabulous women (with great taste in music!!)

[Misunderestimator]

40. Yay!! Thanks...

Maybe we'll do a little road-trip journal in the evenings while we're driving, since I'll have my laptop with me.

Looking forward to listening to your show on Saturday mornings now!! :hi:

[Misunderestimator]

43. All my furniture is now out of the house...

boy it's empty in here... my ex is going to freak when she realizes how much furniture she's going to need to buy to replace my stuff :)

[Blue-Jay]

44. Leave her an IKEA gift certificate!

[Misunderestimator]

45. LOL

Believe me, the minute I'm out of here, her mother will be over here decorating the entire house. Ugh. :eyes:

[Blue-Jay]

46. Hey! are you flying or driving out to SD?

If you're driving, be careful and take lots of pictures. I've always wanted to take a week or so and make a cross country drive without ever hitting an interstate highway.

[Misunderestimator]

47. I have to be back to work pretty quickly, so we're doing the drive

in four days... unfortunately, it will be I-10 nearly the whole way.

[Blue-Jay]

50. Oh well.

Don't do anything Thelma & Louise wouldn't do. Have fun, kids!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

48. ONE MORE WEEK SWEETIE!!!

I can't wait :D :loveya:

[Misunderestimator]

49. YAY!! Good morning sweetheart!

Soon we'll be in the same TIME ZONE! :bounce: :loveya:

[sundog]

51. Excellent :)

this is great...

but I must approach mis' posts with caution :P

[Misunderestimator]

52. Hahaha

apparently... :crazy:

[sundog]

54. you have photos

of me in flagrante delicto :scared:

[miss_kitty]

53. I am so excited for you and NSMA

good luck on the move!

[Misunderestimator]

56. Thanks!

:hi: So far so good...

[flamingyouth]

55. That's wonderful!

Since you're far away from me, I trust you don't have the same moving crew I had a year ago. Which is a good thing. :D

Have a safe trip, and congrats on starting your new life with your beloved! :hug:

[Misunderestimator]

57. It's always a risk... but they seem pretty competent...

albeit slooooooooooow... :)

[flamingyouth]

60. OK, maybe they are the same guys

They didn't break anything of mine, they just took an extra five or six hours to do the job.

And IIRC, it also took them at least 15 minutes to open the truck doors. :D

[Brewman_Jax]

58. Oh, no!

moving is in the top 5 of life's stressful events. Hang in there, you can do eeet!

[Misunderestimator]

59. True... but strangely... this is turning out to be rather unstressful this

time... Let's see, in the past 10 years, this is now my fifth major move. Before that I must have moved fifteen times at least. I guess I'm an old hand at it now. :)

[Brewman_Jax]

61. That helps a lot

you have this down to a science. When I was in the Navy, I moved 5 times in 6 years. You get the hang of it VERY quickly.

[IntravenousDemilo]

62. Are they hotties?

Or is there significant ass-cleavage?

[Misunderestimator]

65. Um, neither.

Though I'll admit I wasn't really paying much attention when they bent over. :shrug:

[ralps]

63. I hope you all have a really good trip, and please take photos

of the trip, if you can.:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Misunderestimator]

64. All I've got is a camera phone... everything else just left...

But I'll be sure to take some bad quality pics! :) :hi:
