Facing Reality
It is time for me to admit the truth. The boxes in the garage have come to life and have taken me hostage. As I type this, one of them is holding a tape gun to the back of my head. They tell me I do not have time to "play" on the computer. "Moving Day is only a week and four days away!" they shriek. I am helpless against them. They are even more demanding than my son, and their appetites are unending. "More, more, MORE!" they screech.
And so, I must face the fact that sooner or later (the boxes say sooner) I must actually pack up my computer in a box. I will not see my computer again until somewhere mid-June (or, at least, when June calendar dates hit the double-digits: 10, 11, 12, etc.). So, please, come back then. I (obviously) won't be able to blog for awhile.
Now I must go and feed more of these ridiculously voracious cardboard boxes from hell. (Ouch. Apparently, Cisco didn't like me calling him "from hell." "I'm from Cincinnati," he snivels. Whatever, you dumb box. Ouch.)

Oh no no, this will never do. You will just have to get a laptop and a satellite link.
If not, though, at least it's not that long. I waited just a bit over three months for my #%$@! household goods when we moved last year. I still want to cry when I think of it.
That Cisco looks fierce. I'll miss you and I promise to come back. Good luck with the move!
Just like the wicked witch of the west, carboard boxes are suspectible to water. Just remember that and you'll pull through alright!
i'll hitchhike out and help, if'n ya want...
oh wynne: you are so fun. i will miss you and your blog and your comments and your emails! but i know you will be back! i hope! hope your move is smooth and that you return to us reaaaaaallllly soon. take care, happy trails, kathleen :)
Poo on you, and poo on Cisco. Poo on moving. Poo on change and poo on weeks of painful muskadillo deprivation.
Poo, I say!
I like kimberly's advice! Just take your stuff out of the box first so as not to ruin it with water. Just a thought.
You will be greatly missed! Luckily I have you on bloglines so I can catch you as soon as you come back. That's what stalkers do!
Happy packing and happy moving!
hey wynne: i wrote about YOU in my 18may post. come and see. you will laugh, i hope :)
~happy packing and be good to yourself, too :) kathleen
this, too, shall pass, but i know moving rots, but at least you don't have to move every single day of your life. now that would much more than rot! :) bye girl
Ah, you will be missed! I do not envy you... moving is a PAIN! Blog when you can... I will patiently wait... well, maybe not patiently. Patience has never been a strong point of mine...
Where have you been all this while ?? .. i surf through a lot of blogs, came across yours for the first time and I must say your's comes across as a breath of fresh air!!! ... Hilarious is an understatement! keep it going ... will be back for more ! ;-P
Miss you. But there is always the public library, no?
wynne: i miss ya girl! hope the move is going supreme. take care, kathleen :)
its me...jeff...the cousin of shannon beck...and somehow I came upon your blog...creepy...and a small world...anyway...found your blog via christina's...whom I thought was another christina...never liked christina, maybe shes nice now...anyway...hope life is treating you well
Wynne, don't let Cisco take control. Give 'im one of these and a couple o' those and you'll be the one holding the packing tape. Wah ka!
Oh Jeff. I'm shaking my head at Freshman-Christina. Sad that she made you dislike her so. No, she wasn't nice to you, although you should know that she was often TRYING to be funny...didn't succeed, but whatever. And yes, she's (hopefully) a lot nicer now. And no, I have no idea why I'm talking about myself in the 3rd person. At any rate, sorry for being a punk and nice to see you're still alive. What's up w/ Shannon? Wynne, do you know?
Missin' you!
Just thought I'd check in... again... to see if you're back... hope things are going well!!
hi wynne: just checking in. wishing you were back. hope the move went great. i miss ya girl, kathleen :)
ps. blablablalalab (Xena battlecry bestowed in your honor) hee hee
Chrisitna,
Sounds like you are very nice. I just talked to shannon today. We talked about the good ole bad days of ricks. any way, she reminded me that you brand of comedy was sarcasm. you must realize that i was raised in a town that hasn't "had irony since 84'." (Guess that movie quote.) also, i am sure that i pushed your buttons a time or two.
Wynne? Hellooooo?
I bet she's been gobbled by one of those man-eating western Washington bushes. Poor Wynne. I'm really going to miss her blog. Especially the post she could have written about being eaten by a man-eating bush.
wynne? WyNNe? WYNNE? Are you alive? I miss you. Please tell me you hate washington and are moving back to Vegas. We NEED you here.
When we drive by your old house Curtis says "I see Jake" and I remind him that you moved but he doesn't understand he just wants his friend/enemy back.
Please come back to us. If not here in Vegas at least in the blogger world.
Ummm... so, I've tried to be patient here, but patience has never been a strong suit of mine... WHERE ARE YOU?
IMpatience is one of my virtues. i want ya back. come and visit us. we miss ya girl.
~wiping tears away, awhhh, miss you wynne. hugs, kathleen :)
ps. balbalbblablalblalb says xena again. is it working yet?
Where oh where has our Wynne gone?
does anybody have a phone number for wynne? can you check on her to see if she is okay? thanks and hoping she and her fam are doing alright since moving, kathleen :)
I have heard from a source of mine that Wynne did make is to Washington but that she has some problems with the place they were moving into and so they were looking for a new place.
Of course she should have moved into a new place by now. I will see if I can get more info from another friend who seems to have sold her house here in Vegas. I am sure she has some contact info.
Wynne, tomorrow is book club can you join us via web cam?
Thinking of you.
Just heard from Wynne (I'm sure some of you have as well). She's still settling in after a long period of making their new rental livable. She didn't say when she'd be back to blogging, but she's at least nearly back to sanity. Or as close to it as Wynne ever gets. :)
Marie - thanks for the update! :)
awesome, thanks for the update, glad she is okay. wynne -- miss ya and your wild ways. God bless ya, kathleen :) from nevada today on our long road trip
Whoa. Anyone want a tip about how to up the number of your comments? Just disappear for awhile.
And Cisco? I introduced him to my friend, the CRUSHER. Cisco-5, wynne, 6. I win.
