moving day ONE

so, the movers came yesterday - on the morning of the varkendaughter's 13th birthday, mind you. and the minute the trucks arrived, the rain arrived with it.

this is one truck unloaded into the garage. we had 7. the container wouldn't fit up the narrow little roads we have, so, just as in china, they transferred the load a few (dozen) times into more manageable-sized loads. this just means really, that they have more opportunity to throw our crap around.

and what is the FIRST thing i discover and unpack? yep. my cookbooks.

oh yah. and we can't forget about el catso, can we? dang thing was not phased IN THE LEAST by hustle and bustle of the thousands of slovak mover guys (who took a 2 hour lunch break and left at 5:30). which leads me to....

this...

cuz this is how they LEFT things at 5:30 on a friday evening.

guess when they're coming back to "finish" the job?

no i mean, REALLY. REALLY guess...

yep. MONDAY.

we're going to vienna today to celebrate varkendaughter's birthday properly. this includes a trip to LUSH (her favorite soap store) for a bar of henna. i've relented. since it isn't permanent.
