Bring WINE!?! There is no way we could move if we had wine! After two glasses, I would want to just sit on the sofa. For me it might be, bring coffee! LOL!
That was the biggest drawback of having friends help me pack. Someone packed the corkscrew too early. I was desperate. If you're moving to Nebraska, I'll help unpack.
Mate, much as I like you, I haven't unpacked my own boxes yet so distasteful is the operation to me, the chances of getting me over the Atlantic at this stage are negligible, frankly.
I have an arsenal of corkscrews, so what exactly are you looking for? I have my Houdini, a Rabbit, a regular corkscrew, and an electric one. Take your pick.
Hope all goes well. Last time I moved, I lost one of the twins for about 3 days. I think she's over it now though...needless to say, I'll volunteer to help.
Um, yeah. Like I got some, um, other stuff I gotta do here first. I'll, um, come over *looks around* a little later.*thinks, in a bout a month after the unpacking is done and there's house warming alcohol left*
I think it says in the Blogger Etiquette protocol that we can only help a blogger move if we appear in their sidebar...didn't I read that someplace? No?
I'll be helping 'in spirit' as well, since my position as the Queen Of Lazytowne prohibits me from doing any actual work.
I'm sure you'll appreciate that as you're humping boxes from point A to point B, and I use 'humping' in the military sense, meaning to move heavy or inconvenient things.
Happy moving day, Mist! Since you're moving, I guess you finally got to clean the cat's litter box? ;) Or did you pack it as is? LOL!
PS. The corkscrew is in the box with all your 'toys' and things of that nature. I don't know why it's in that box. You told me to remind you where it was though ;)
Good LUCK. I usually buy a new corkscrew every time I move, cause I can't bother to unpack to find them. I should have at least a dozen corkscrews by now, but they're no where in sight.
That sounds perfect. Seriously, that's the kind of help I need.
fringes,
It's way to late for packing advice. I'm open to unpacking acvice.
michael,
I can't find my cat.
blitz,
There is never more than enough.
q of d,
I love saying Screw Kappa Napa. I'm going to say that for the rest of the day.
pool,
You know how I think.
ctw,
Did I pull that with you once? Because it sounds pretty familiar.
jonas,
What color is your toenail polish?
akelamalu,
If you're volunteering, you can use my sky miles.
tera,
Read the archives.
tammie,
I'm still waiting to see if one of my neighbors has a boyfriend that I can borrow.
jocelyn,
I can't risk cutting my face. It's all I have left. My brain has been gone for years.
stacy,
I wish there really were Pinot Pirates. I would sail with them.
junk,
I've been unraveled for a bit now.
comedy,
The mishaps started the night before. Hence, no post on Friday.
claudia,
I was thinking of drinking from the bottle.
av,
Just sit there and look pretty.
hearts,
I once dated a Boy Scout...troop.
nance,
I'll be updating my links before I unpack.
tracy,
I will dry hump the box that my corkscrew is in.
condo,
I am blessed.
nolff,
We can totally do a Country Mouse and City Mouse blog thing.
chrissy,
Funny you should ask about the cat box...
es,
I'll send a driver. I can't be expected to be on time at the airport.
dave,
I "borrowed" them.
cruiser,
I chewed off my own foot to get out of that bracelet.
mal,
You haven't seen my lips. They are too sweet to endanger them with broken glass.
nofear,
Deal.
karmyn,
Nothing is five days away from here. I live in a major hub.
neil,
I don't lift. I point my fingers and gesticulate as to where I want stuff to go.
tug,
Sigh. I guess I'll have to send you out for another bottle.
todd,
Screw is one of my favorite words.
curiosity,
I want to move into your home when you move out. I bet there's a stack of corkscrews.
fab,
Of course.
jay,
We should have moved together. I would have planned a daylight moved and you would have been responsible for the corkscrew. We are a match made in heaven...or Canada or wherever you are.
brooke,
Seriously, I'll be there unless I get sick or something.
janet,
My blog is not moving. It doesn't have good credit and I won't co-sign for it.
miztris.
I'm too clumsy for that. I would die of a puncture wound.
arthur,
I can suck a golf ball through a garden hose, but not a cork out of bottle.
I was wondering how the move went? I've been gone for a bit and couldn't help or come to your unpacking party. You aren't going to move your blog too are you? It's fine with me where it is, like it is. Can I have some of your boxes? ..
Or, just put them out on the curb. They'll be gone by morning.
Maybe put some interesting labels on them to spook the neighbors? Like Prozac, Viagra, Smith & Wesson, Dow Chemicals... maybe something from the Love Shack ??
Can I bring a bottle of Glenfidich instead, and some of my boxes that I still haven't unpacked since I moved to California eight months ago? You can unpack mine and I'll unpack yours. It'll be more fun that way.
I have a case of two buck chuck under the church pew in my front hall and I decided to open a bottle just to make sure it was a good batch. It was. Sorry I missed the unpacking.
Sorry, late for the meeting. I brought a box of something. It might've been wine in its past life. Could even be beer. Or, if we're lucky, a glorious hybrid!
It's moving day. I need a day off. Please come over and help me unpack. Bring wine.

on my way! and i'll bring you a jar of pickles too honey!
smiles, bee
Bring WINE!?! There is no way we could move if we had wine! After two glasses, I would want to just sit on the sofa. For me it might be, bring coffee! LOL!
I'll help you in spirit as I'm sure you'll be in the spirits before, during and after moving. Wish I was closer. I really would help!
when i moved i couldn't find my corkscrew so i called the pizza delivery joint and asked them to send one with the driver.
good luck! (what shoes does mist wear on moving day?)
That was the biggest drawback of having friends help me pack. Someone packed the corkscrew too early. I was desperate. If you're moving to Nebraska, I'll help unpack.
Good luck with the move and congrats.
Good luck with the move!
As for the corkscrew - switch to vodka - you don't need one of those to indulge in that.
Mate, much as I like you, I haven't unpacked my own boxes yet so distasteful is the operation to me, the chances of getting me over the Atlantic at this stage are negligible, frankly.
But I'm happy to UPS a corkscrew.
Puss
I have an arsenal of corkscrews, so what exactly are you looking for? I have my Houdini, a Rabbit, a regular corkscrew, and an electric one. Take your pick.
Corkscrew? Wine in a box is so much more practical!
Good luck with the move Mist~
If you had given me the proper address, I would have been there. As it was, I had to drink all the wine by myself.
It was good, too.
Sorry 'bout that!
I'm on my way. I have all kinds of boxes of wine.
Yaay unpacking. Too bad sarcasm doesn't translate well in written comments.
-N
I'll screw your cork for ya. ;)
I'm sending sardines!
bee,
I might not give the jar back.
hodge,
Coffee is like crack for me. You'd want to kill me.
wreck,
Thanks. I'm not that helpful, so I appreciate it.
hello,
Flip flops. Furry.
wg,
I wonder how much it could piss off the movers if I told them that I was moving to Nebraska.
michael,
Thanks.
stephanie,
Please send vodka.
puss,
You are giving in your own special way.
heather,
I like the Rabbit. What's the Houdini?
p of u,
I will have to make the truck wait for me at the package store.
nwjr,
Damn. I feel a little resentful now.
susan,
I think we are best friends.
natalia,
I haven't even started thinking about unpacking yet.
ajooja,
Well, hello...
jonas,
Packed in olive oil, right?
YOu don't keep one in your purse?
I'll gladly help you unpack, don't ask me to lift anything heavy though...my bad back.
Can I arrange your shoes according to color, heel height, or whatever?
Are your boxes labeled? Is it too late for packing advice?
Hope all goes well. Last time I moved, I lost one of the twins for about 3 days. I think she's over it now though...needless to say, I'll volunteer to help.
I think there will be more than enough whine around.
I'll bring Vodka for when the wine is done. Congrats on the move!
Um, yeah. Like I got some, um, other stuff I gotta do here first. I'll, um, come over *looks around* a little later.*thinks, in a bout a month after the unpacking is done and there's house warming alcohol left*
"Packed in olive oil, right?"
Of course. I don't want to disappoint.
Funny. I'm wearing furry flip-flops, too!
Are you channeling me again? I've done a post today about wine! I'll go get some now and be right over - what time's the next flight?
Oh no!!! What will I do without my daily dose of humor...and ESPECIALLY on Friday???
(Sigh) Is there a 12-Step program for that?
No corkscrew??? This may be a good time to start borrowing things from the neighbors. This is serious...
Just crack the head of the bottle off, dramatically, and drink through the jagged glass at the top.
Me and the Pinot Pirates, on the way.
I wouldn't be able to bear a move. At least you got moved...now you just hve to slowly unravel what you;ve got!
Did you say wine? I'm there and I'll bring several corkscrews. Happy moving weekend! I can't wait to hear all the mishaps that will surely take place.
I'll bring glasses too...you probably don't know where the wine glasses are either....in some box, somewhere...
I'd help, but I'm lazy.
You were obviously not a Girl Scout if you don't carry a corkscrew on your key chain.
Ask the resident ghost if she has one.
Lots of luck in the new place!
I think it says in the Blogger Etiquette protocol that we can only help a blogger move if we appear in their sidebar...didn't I read that someplace? No?
You buy wine that needs a corkscrew? I thought those kinds only came as gifts...
I'll be helping 'in spirit' as well, since my position as the Queen Of Lazytowne prohibits me from doing any actual work.
I'm sure you'll appreciate that as you're humping boxes from point A to point B, and I use 'humping' in the military sense, meaning to move heavy or inconvenient things.
It's not raining... it always rains on moving day. How can it not be raining?
I'll be house hunting this weekend.
Tryin' to find a place in the country because most people annoy me.
I'm tired of the city.
Happy moving day, Mist! Since you're moving, I guess you finally got to clean the cat's litter box? ;) Or did you pack it as is? LOL!
PS. The corkscrew is in the box with all your 'toys' and things of that nature. I don't know why it's in that box. You told me to remind you where it was though ;)
I'm on my way over, can you pick me up at the airport? Bringing some run, we don't have good local wine here.
I'm glad you scored more boxes, no logos, neatly stacked. Stole 'em didn't you?
Look what happens when I fall off the blog wagon? You go and effin' MOVE?
Good thing you have that stylish ankle bracelet from the probation office - we can track you now. And of course, I'm bringing wine. Is screwtop okay?
Corkscrew? Knock the top of the bottle off and be careful of broken glass. :)
...i'll come over if you come over next month...
That is why I always carry a corkscrew in my purse. You never know when you need one.
I'll be there in 5 days....I think that is how long it takes me to drive to the South.
Remember to bend with the knees when lifting boxes.
Damn. Is it bad that I got here late & DRANK the wine?
Next time, warning please.
Hahahaha... You said screw.
Good luck with the move!
A MOVE?!
Good LUCK. I usually buy a new corkscrew every time I move, cause I can't bother to unpack to find them. I should have at least a dozen corkscrews by now, but they're no where in sight.
Can I bring Vodka? I prefer Vodka.
Sorry, I've moved myself...in the middle of the night no less, to a place I'd never even seen before. Luckily, I did bring a corkscrew.
I'll be right over. You'll come by in a month and do the same for me, right?
Right?
Liar.
Good luck!
Stupid question but are you physically moving or is it your blog? You never know in cyberspace.
I'm surprised. I assumed you wore your corkscrew on a chain around your neck. ;)
I figgured Mist would have the ability to get a cork out of a wine bottle by sheer force of will.
PS: I left you a present on my blog ;)
scotts,
Where the hell is my purse?

That sounds perfect. Seriously, that's the kind of help I need.

At least you have the requisite box seating for your wine drinking.....
No problem. I have a million corkscrews. You can't take one on a plane so I end up buying one at every destination.
I like your box(es) a lot. Brazillian too, unadorned.
I was wondering how the move went? I've been gone for a bit and couldn't help or come to your unpacking party.
You aren't going to move your blog too are you? It's fine with me where it is, like it is.
Can I have some of your boxes?
..
Congrats on the move!
Please recycle the boxes.
Or, just put them out on the curb. They'll be gone by morning.
Maybe put some interesting labels on them to spook the neighbors? Like Prozac, Viagra, Smith & Wesson, Dow Chemicals... maybe something from the Love Shack ??
Good luck with the move. I hate moving house.
Gee whiz, you'd think you'd know by now, the corkscrew belongs on your keychain.
While I'm certain you didn't, I hope you had a good moving day! :) Personally, I hate moving.
Oops, missed it. Hope you found/bought a corkscrew. Good luck at the new domicile!
Can I bring a bottle of Glenfidich instead, and some of my boxes that I still haven't unpacked since I moved to California eight months ago? You can unpack mine and I'll unpack yours. It'll be more fun that way.
I would totally come and help but, well, I'm more or less flat broke and the travel would be a nightmare :-P
Good luck though. I sort of like moving. It's exciting.
I don't have any wine. But I have a spare pinata I can bring.
I have a case of two buck chuck under the church pew in my front hall and I decided to open a bottle just to make sure it was a good batch. It was. Sorry I missed the unpacking.
muse,
I think I even have a milk crate that doubles as a bistro table.
monkey,
Who has ever heard of someone taking a plane hostage with a corkscrew?
pawlie,
Clean. Simple. Minimalist.
jim,
You can have my boxes when I am finished playing in my fort.
willie,
Lord, I wish I had Prozac boxes. I need the neighbors to treat me gently.
*,
I usually hate moving too, but this time, it was a good way to get rid of stuff that I don't need. I suppose I could have had a yard sale.
lee,
All that says is, "Officer, I have been drinking."
kristyn,
I'll tell you all about it.
velvet,
I like the word domicile. I also like the word abode.
sass,
"You can unpack mine and I'll unpack yours." Great pick up line.
amy,
I'm not flat broke, but I am flat chested. It doesn't really have any impact on traveling, except that I can run up and down stairs.
james,
The pinata was invented by a person who hated noses, teeth, and fine china.
spell,
I have yet to experience Two Buck Chuck. I feel so unworldly.
did you upgrade? :ask:
melanie,
No. It's actually a van down by the river. But the amenities make up for it.
EXCELLENT! i need a motivational speaker for a birthday party next week. I will provide wine!
melanie,
I have always wanted to be a motivational speaker. I've just never had the drive to make it happen.
Sorry, late for the meeting. I brought a box of something. It might've been wine in its past life. Could even be beer. Or, if we're lucky, a glorious hybrid!
orhan,
Hybrids are so environmentally responsible.
