The boxes, oh the boxes

OK, so I went in search of boxes today. I started at Borders, no luck, but the gal I spoke iwth suggested I try a grocery store and ask for banana boxes. Who knew? So I did and I got three boxes. They are a funny shape and I don't know how handy they'll be but I'll give it a go. When I got to the storage place to buy boxes I found out they were closed. I'll try again tomorrow and also cruise Craigs List for used ones.

I am thinking lots about bigger items and the move. I have a breakfront and a hutch with a glass cabinet. Each piece is sell-able but I am not sure on what to sell them for. Oh, and there is a lovely Armoire that a few of you may remember helping me schlep/heave/will/push into Rochelle Ave. When The Girl and I figure out where we are staying I guess we'll decide if we want to keep the piece. I am posting on craigslist, some free stuff I am trying to unload and some stuff for sale. I have many PartyLite items to find new homes for so if you are into the PartyLite send me a note. I have already photographed it for your viewing pleasure. Free to friends, cheap to others.

The bike. I am trying to figure out if I should take the big bike or the small bike but I know it isn't reasonable to bring them both. The big bike would allow for lovely trips up the coastal highway, pretty scenery and a small feeling on my part of, well, having a kickin' bike. But the small bike would allow for much easier commuting. We are selling my car and using only The Girl's car. No matter what town we end up in, it will be walkable, there is great public transp. and I will have a bike. I guess we'll figure that part out after we figure out where we'll be staying, too.

Danbo says we have some boxes you can have. I didn't know he kept them from our move. So, cool! You've got some boxes. Also, try the liquor store, their boxes are a good size.
