Farewell to Hatrack for a while.
I've loved you very well,
But whether Mom's connection works,
Well, only time will tell.

In just less than three hours now,
We're getting on a plane,
So I know not if I'll have time
To post a post again.

We're still frantically packing
Dishes, cups, and things like that
(Which I don't trust the husband with;
Afraid they might get cracked.)

I'm making lunch for everyone
(It's known as Texas Hash )
And leftovers will feed Jeff
'Til he heads off with our stash.

(A side note here; I can't believe
When looking all around
We've so much stuff; the boxes
Tower and stuff left still abounds.)

The baby's at the table,
She's making quite a mess;
She didn't get the memo
About "cleaning up", I guess.

And so I post this final thread,
T'least for a week or two
Because in the next couple of hours
There's so much I must do.

I'll miss you dear, my Hatrack friends,
I'll see you in a bit,
I'm sure the 'Rack will live without
Me; what of me without it? [Angst]

*hugs* I'll miss you, KQ. Maybe I can come out West some time later this year or early next year.

KQ is due to arrive in CA in an hour after a lay over in SLC. She has only been gone for less than a day and I already miss her and KP. [Frown] Road trips just aren't the same when I only have cats to talk to.

Honey, if you check this, a [Kiss] from 1500 miles away from me to you.

Oh thank goodness. I was starting to have to place people in restraints for going mad with grief at your absence. Some of them were even using catsup instead of ketchup. I know... it was horrible. [Razz]


That being said. Welcome back! We missed you. [Group Hug]

Hectic; I forgot to change my "vacation" status on Amazon, and two things sold; one just two days ago, so that's okay, but one a week ago, and I am going to have to expedite their shipping. Oops. It was a bit hectic.

Our apartment is all over boxes. We're staying with my mom until we get a bit more unpacked.

On the up side of things, my aunt and uncle gave us $600 for a refridgerator, and we found one for $451 including tax, and will get a $50 rebate on it from the electic company because it's energy efficient, plus a manufacturer's rebate. If anyone needs any large appliances for the kitchen or bath and is in the LA area, boy, do I have a store for you! They sell floor models and stuff, hence the awesome pricing. We have to wait until Tuesday to get it, but delivery is free.

So that's happy. [Smile]

I'm glad to be back.

And the low cost of the fridge means we have money left to get a wardrobe (which we desperately need because of the tiny closet in our room) from IKEA.

Yay! You're back. [Smile] Good news on the fridge. It's almost too bad I don't need one. [Wink]
