oh yeah, moving time begins in earnest

Well today I got to renew my acquaintance with a couple of old trusty friends...a stack of cardboard boxes and some packing tape. Yep, it's that time again. The cat is already suspicious...

We officially got a cute little house in SE (after weeks of looking at shithole apartments and threatening to move to Beaverton) and we get to move into it any time after March 1. So now we need to start cramming our belongings in boxes...fortunately it's not that urgent, so I'm not as stressed out as I usually am during these episodes. But I can tell you right now, I still groan every time I think about what's on the horizon. ick.
