Movingbird
I'm sitting in my living room surrounded by packing paper and bubble wrap and boxes and boxes and boxes. So far the only moving injury is a half-torn off thumbnail. Not bad.
I was talking with my ex-hubbie this morning, recounting all the moves I've done in my life. I've moved thirty-three times. Thirty-three times. Seriously.

Damn! I miscounted. It looks like I've moved thirty-six times. And I think I missed some moves in there. It took close to six months for me to get my security clearance, as you can imagine.
Thirty-six times. Damn. No wonder I'm tired.
P.S. Should I pop some bubble wrap for all of you?
P.P.S. Dave I hope you're up and about and out of the hospital really soon. Get better.
