Answering the Eternal Question

"So are you excited about your move?" "You must be getting excited to move" "Have you started packing for your move?"

Yes, Yes, and No. People started asking if we were packing as far back as June. Did people think we were going to sit at home naked with no furniture for two months? I'm planning on waiting until July 19th, my first day as an unemployed wo-man and I'll walk through the apartment throwing things in boxes and bags. Seems like a good plan, right? No seriously, will that work?

Speaking of unemployment, Jim has been jobless for nearly a month now. At first, it was nice because he'd go over to his parents' house during the day, Jack would get to hang out in their yard, and he'd bring home fresh fruit salad. Alas, that did not last long. Until today, he spent his days watching the Casey Anthony trial, obsessing over every detail, judging every expert witness, and threatening to create a drinking game if Casey went on the stand. Needless to say, yesterday was INTENSE. He called at around 1 p.m. on the way to the liquor store because the jury was going to return the verdict at 2:15. He gchatted me throughout the reading of the verdict and his horror/lack of anything better to do was apparent. I've taken the liberty of removing my responses because it's funnier this way. It's like that blog garfieldminusgarfield.net/. It just makes Jim look like a lunatic, which isn't far from the truth.

We've decided to get rid of all our furniture and start over in Berkeley, so to speak. So if anyone's in the market for a well-worn couch covered in dog hair or bookshelves purchased and assembled by Walmart, holla atcha girl.
