The Hassle of a Family Move
Thursday, den 4. October 2007
If you read this blog often, you know that I recently moved to a new home. Unfortunately my living room still has a whole corner devoted to unpacked boxes, pictures that need hanging, and stuff I just don’t know what to do with. I’m beginning to think those boxes will still be there when we move again, although I hope not.
I hate the whole moving process: going through and throwing out as much as possible, packing what you’re taking to the new house. And last, but certainly not least, the actual packing and unpacking of the moving truck.
My daughters and I moved ourselves this time. We rented a truck, spent a whole Saturday loading it up, then broke down and called for backup on the unloading of the furniture and boxes. I hadn’t moved in five years, and I had forgotten how exhausting it can be. All you’re thinking about around 8:00 on moving day is how you can get that bed put together and sheets on it in time for bed.
So I’ve made a vow. Next time I’m going to call a moving company. There’s a service called MyMovingquote.com, where you can fill out one form and get quotes, within hours, from selected moving companies in your area. And they check to make sure all the companies recommended are licensed and insured, so you don’t have to worry about it.
I’m hoping to get some of those pictures hung and boxes unpacked this weekend. Wish me luck.

Patterned backgrounds are a very popular finishing touch for many websites. While it seems that diagonal stripes are in this season (especially for Web 2.0 sites), there are so many other options from elegant to whimsy, preppy to proper. The following sites have some really fabulous patterns to choose from:
