purleweI plan on using this space to tell you only the GOOD things that happened over the break.
Christmas was wonderful. Sue and I spent it with her family in the Poconos. There was tree decorating, lots of food, and a very enjoyable dinner with presents. The best gift received was 3 diaries of Anne Morrow Lindberg that I did not have, in hardback. I finished my secret pal present on christmas (weaving in the ends by the tv that evening) and I really hope she likes it.
Moving was hard, but we are done. All of the stuff is out of the old apt and in the new one.
Sue was fabulous. I had a cold and could not help one of the moving days. she made me sit down and did alot of the hard work herself.
Mambo Movers ROCK MY WORLD. I use these guys whenever I move in Philly. They had my furniture out of the apt and in the new one in an hour. Conversations from them range from "She could not give me one difinitive reason why she voted for Bush. Some people are just un-educated" to the outright silly "Who calls the police to their own party. That was the only time I was ever arrested. We thought they were joking" Not to mention great tips for the best vegetarian food stops around town.
We bought a chair that is awesome.
The kitty is handling everything with aplumb. Even though she cannot leave the bedroom. She has voiced her complaints when we are in another room and has placed her paws under the door to gain access. She brings us alot of laughter through this whole ordeal.
Riding my bike to work. I love it.. and now that I live farther than a mile I can do it again. I rode in this morning. It felt great and the weather was perfect.
**edited to add: I also forgot to add how great my friends are. they are wonderful.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
varouna braved the bad fone line to call and come over to get me and Sue for dinner on their last nite in town. MWAH! I wish them a good move today. Let me know you guys get there safe, okay?
How have you guys been?

here's me at your door with a loaf of bread,
a handful of salt and a bottle of wine.

Date: 2005-01-03 08:15 pm (UTC)o yeah, upbeat again: riding to work is the best thing I know I can do for myself everyday. it kicked my sciatica in the ass last time (and funny thing.. it took over a yr and a half to come back.. since I'm riding I expect to be gone again) And it means I might be a tad bit slimmer in the new yr. who knows.. I might be one hot momma when you two see me again. mrrrow!

Date: 2005-01-03 08:26 pm (UTC)Ha! That's funny considering sciatica can quite literally be a pain in the ass! :D
I might be one hot momma when you two see me again.
I assume you meant hotter momma? Which raises the question, how does one improve on perfection?
