Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
ok, Perkins - what are you getting at Target? Is it only new stuff for the new place? NO extra stuff this close to moving.
When you get back, tape together 3 boxes and pack them with stuff from one room. Start with book shelves, or knick-knack shelves. Do not stop until all three boxes are full and labeled.
I always start with books, because they are so easy and satisfying, but I think it might be a mistake because I always run out of steam for the random stuff. So maybe start with the random, and leave books for a prize? Ridiculous.
I am now curious about what is happening in my building, because I wandered into the apartment across the hall, and the kitchen was full of sets of plates and coffee makers and stuff -- new stuff, not a single person's. They are really going to have to do some work on the common space if they are looking for upscale shorter-term furnished rentals.
Bwahah! Look what just showed up in my inbox:
Look at the long legs on that kid!
Oh, about moths! I got some kind of sticky hormone trap at the pet store and it worked! But I feel like someone here tried that and it didn't work. Worked for me, though.
I had clothing moths and they were everywhere. Mostly in my bedrooms and the basement. I washed every piece of fabric that I could wash (and some that I shouldn't have...my LR curtains shrank 2 inches.) Cedar and lavender oil did nothing. The pheromone traps caught a few (they only catch males), but after a few months there were still some fluttering around every day. I finally got some bug spray and basically fogged the basement with it, shut the door for a few days and that seems to have done the trick. I am not 100% they won't come back next summer...I will be keeping my eye out.
If they do, I'd suggest a pet chameleon or bullfrog.
I recommend nesting Say's Phoebes, myself. The pair on the deck seemed to seriously reduce our moth population.
Only stuff for the house, msbelle, I promise. New rug and curtain rod.
Unless you count cat food, but even some of that is staying here.
I will do the boxes when I get home, too
ok, since I am getting to be all bossy and feeling good helping, I am going to do stuff also. I am putting up the Tree.
Well, back from the post office and grabbing some lunch.
Man, I really feel that I should be able to walk to the post office without getting exhausted. It's ridiculous.
Are there bicycles out there for giant out of shape people without good balance? You know, so I could maybe get back into shape without screwing up my feet more?
