We are successfully ensconced at my parent’s house.  Almost all of our belongings have been quarantined in a storage unit until we find permanent jobs and a new house.  We expect this to take many months.  Our goals now include getting ourselves back on our feet financially and showering Sophia with love.  Fortunately the later is more fun than the former.

So, as it turns out this side of the whole Moving Episode hasn’t brought the lightness of heart I expected.  With that I have decided to let it all go - whoosh, it’s out of my body and mind.  We had many many things go wrong however, many things went right.  I will choose to focus on those instead.  But if you get my going someday I may just recount every painful moment.  ;)  And thank you all for your stories.  One thing is certain - moving sucks ass.

For now we move on to more Important Things.  Claudia’s Ride for MS.

Claudia is one my favorite people.  I feel incredibly lucky to know her and have enjoyed her company on many occasions. Her wit is sharp and her heart is big.  As some of you may know she is taking part in a MS Ride with the National MS Society.  She has reached her fundraising goal (30K!) and the chance to win one of the fabulous prizes has past (The ride is tomorrow!).  However, the chance to donate has not.  I regret that I did not call attention to this effort earlier.  I figure most of you have found your way by there anyway.  However, I could not pass up the opportunity to highlight Claudia’s extraordinary commitment and the incredible kindness of the knitting community.  Go Us!  Now, if you haven’t already, go donate!  Early tomorrow morning and on Sunday too send Claudia some good riding mojo.

You go girl!
