I didn't know! I think that might make me like accordians better. Like David Beckham wearing a sarong. Very hip. Are accordians effeminate?? I didn’t know!

Now when it is DAYS then I'll mobilize, not, as Ellen claims, when it is HOURS! Big differences in time! As for the machismo, well, we're talking about my accordion here. I need all the machismo I can get in such situations. WEEKS, I say!! WEEKS! Now when it is DAYS then I’ll mobilize, not, as Ellen claims, when it is HOURS! Big differences in time!

As for the machismo, well, we’re talking about my accordion here. I need all the machismo I can get in such situations.

Alex and Kate are egging one another on in their shamelessly irresponsible moving style! This will never do. Someone, please, send reinforcements! Or more commentators like Lacey. Now there's a woman knows how to move! Oh, no! Alex and Kate are egging one another on in their shamelessly irresponsible moving style!

(Despite the very odd machismo of your post.) However when I made the "but they have WEEKS!" argument to my mother (who also regularly enjoys this blog), she literally gasped in horror, and then started reeling off a scary list of all the things you have to do. Maybe you should consider going ahead and packing some dishes now... Alex, I am with you!! (Despite the very odd machismo of your post.)

"We're not moving for at least 28 days or so...why do anything until there are 24 hours left? It's not like you'd need to be discriminating about what you move or anything." You see what I'm dealing with here? See what I mean? “We’re not moving for at least 28 days or so…why do anything until there are 24 hours left?

It's not like it is happening next weekend or something. (And note that we do, in fact, have an accordion, though no Nixon bobblehead to my knowledge. And for the record, in fact, the easiest way to move an accordion is to just pick it up, rather than pack it. Because accordions are only easy to move if you wear the straps properly. Like a man. An accordion playin' man. Like me. So I consider the accordion packed.) Re: Alex hasn’t started packing…. we’re not moving for a month!! It’s not like it is happening next weekend or something.

Just enough to choke pine trees and strangle anything that sits still longer than ten minutes! I saw some mighty fine yarns in that stash, mmm Trekking. I always console myself with the thought that my yarn fits in a skinny three drawer tower, two fat drawers, a tub in storage, and my knitting basket by the couch. That's not much at alllll. I have about 56 pounds of dishcloth cotton. I got hooked when the MDK book came out, hehe. I have cones of the stuff. But it's not much. :D And I totally feel the need to organize and purge everything in your house. I moved about 10 times as a kid growing up, and I purged every time because it always seemed that we moved somewhere smaller! We didn't, not really, but I felt that I needed more space and less junk. :D Happy packing and organizing, Drill Sergeant Ma'am! Yes, we do have a bit o’ the kudzu down here.

I get right to the heart of the matter, you see. And really, it's a modest little yarn collection. Very reasonable. Periwinkle silk?

True story - While my husband was reading his paper, I was reading your blog. I got so excited when I saw the pictures that I excitedly called up to Tom and said, "Honey, This is great! You have to come in here and see this!" Well! There we were together looking at both pictures of your stash! "See, honey! Isn't her stash beautiful! Look at all the colors - all the textures - cashmere too! He looked at me. He looked into the closet of all the containers of my stash. He sighed. He turned and as he was walking out the door of the room he then suggested that maybe there should be a support group for yarn stashers : ) Thank you so much for the pictures of your stash!
