Loathing...

I simply LOATHE packing. There is nothing pleasant about it. I went and got boxes yesterday (BTW, I HEART Budget Box and Bag) and packed up all of my stemware. I am trying to take it one cabinet at a time. Especially of things I don't use everyday (I just heard a joke somewhere on the East Coast about assuming I used stemware everyday).

I am also...sorting my books. I know. It's an incredible hardship, but I packed 6 boxes of books yesterday and it was only my bedroom and the living room bookshelf. I haven't even touched trashy romance novels, cookbooks, or school books. Therefore some just might not make it when we journey out.

Sam has suggested the library as new home for these books, but there is a place in Norman that will buy them. It's called the Crazy Old Ladies Book Store and I must admit that a) I love that name and feel that they will treat my trashy romance novels reverantly and b) cash = good.

It is also amazing what you find when packing. So far:
my passprt
High School Diploma
CD of me reading a book that is creepy
$20

Boooo.

Quick Update

I had to give Abby a limerick example and it was hard (I ended yp rhyming Abby with cabbie...it was rough).

So I am beginning to worry...

A rose by any other name...

...Is not a Sharpie.

A limerick competition about Sharpies. I'm not sure what direction to jump!

Do I take the "off-color" road alluding to Sharpie's different colors? This seems to scream Steve.

Can I really spurn Sharpies and make them crass?

Tune in for more limerick updates...

An Update

An Ode to Sharpies

Oh Sharpies, how I love thee
Your lines so full of grace and style
Ultra Fine, Fine, Felt Tip
Your differences make you beautiful

But you are not eyeliner.

OK, Mom, I'll play if your promise to slow down on posting...
