Buried under a mountain of packing boxes.

[randomness]

I'm poking my head up, gopher-like, from beneath a hillock of cardboard boxes, to reassure folks who have asked: I'm still alive, though decidedly offline.

I haven't posted in a while--LJ says ten weeks--not because nothing has been happening in my life, but because most of the things that have been happening have involved packing boxes. I'm involved in three separate moves: my parents', Elizabeth's, and my own.

Thanks and hugs to folks who have helped: KJ and Pepe and Mike O, to mention only three, for aid in wrestling 128 lb. shelving units around; and bloodstones and KJ (again) for driving me down to NJ on separate occasions.

I haven't stopped eating tasty food, and I fully intend to write about it--one dim sum place in NJ that KJ and I stopped at comes to mind--but I haven't had time to log in, much less post.

Lemme know if you're in NJ and need a break for tasty foods, then, I have quite a bit of free evening time and wheels.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

I will take you up on that, as I'm likely going to be down in NJ again in the near future. I'm assuming all your gradnet info is still correct; let me know if not.

So where is everyone going?

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

My parents are moving from NJ to CT, Elizabeth is moving across town, and I'm moving the last of my stuff from my parents' place to a storage unit.

Wheee.

*hugs*
would love to chat sometime, once you trap that mythical beasty, "Spare Moments"

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

That'd be cool, sure. The last number I have for you is from back in 2000, though, so let me email you from my current address. If you have new contact info, you can email me back.

*hugs*

I'll see you at Elizabeth's move, at least. :) Glad you're OK, if busy.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Yup, see you there! And thanks for helping out!

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

:)

My stuff is going into a storage unit, for now.

It would be cool to grab lunch sometime either in Salem or Newton, sure. If your contact info is still the same (I'm emailing you to confirm); I'll get in touch and we can arrange.

I doubt that various schedules will let me really help you with moving, but I hope it goes well!

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

S'all good; my move is a long-term, step-by-step thing anyway. And thanks for the good wishes.

I owe you a phone call; I never did get back to Connecticut the Wednesday after I talked to you 'cause the car's fuel tank sprung a leak.

Assuming your cell is still the same, I'll give a call. If not, mail me and I'll update my phone book and *then* call. :)

I will eat something tasty near an un-unpacked box and think of a toast to you

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Cool, and thanks.

Oh, btw, drop me your contact info? It'd be cool to go get something tasty to eat *together* next time I'm out, or next time you're in my part of the world.

(And if you don't have my contact info, let me know how best to get it to you, and I'll do that.)

[amelia-g.livejournal.com]

I'm so online that is verges on pathology, so email is generally the best way to get me. I am AmeliaG2000 on AIM, although I don't use that much. ICQ 337070007 I use pretty often. Cell is (213) 804-5460, but I am sometimes kinda slow about checking the messages when I'm actually in Los Angeles. Would love to see you :-)

Hm. I kind of know how you feel, but on a much smaller scale. :) Thought of you when I was in Vientiane this week. Thoummaly is expecting! This will be #3, all 7 years apart. I met #2, who is the most adorable little girl you can imagine; now I understand why the generic Thai term for addressing children is "mouse". :)

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's cool! Send her my congratulations, if you could?

BTW, I owe you email...quick answer to your question about July and August is probably Boston. You?

[bookly.livejournal.com]

Errr... I forgot the question, but I think the answer is Amherst and Boston. :)

[chris-warrior.livejournal.com]

i'm ending up in Boston at fairly regular intervals - think 'months', but -

will your move leave you in that locale, or are you relocating to a place i will never go again?

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

So, I'm heading that way also. Been meaning to call you at the parents' number you gave but don't know if that's useful if you'll be in Boston.

Let me know if I should still call up there or if there's a better way to reach you now.

[chris-warrior.livejournal.com]

done. you should have email.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Got it!

[tavella.livejournal.com]

You need to come out to California again once the moving is done! I haven't seen you in tooooo long!

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Seriously; I really want to get out there again soon.

[emilymorgan.livejournal.com]

Hi! :o)

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Hi!

(Cool, now I can find that friends thing you were telling me about!)
