That’s how much garbage I dumped this morning.
I am happy to report that our U-Haul truck came through unscathed.
Our housekeeper suggested we rent a big dumpster and do it that way. Doh! Why didn’t I think of that? Admittedly, we had way too much junk to fit into a single dumpster, but we have time to load and unload a few dumpster-fulls.

Some commercial flashed on a moment ago, something about a product that helps you control your child.
“. . . WHICH WE DESPERATELY NEED!” Karen said.
“You do,” said Jake, and I said, “No we don’t, we have you under perfect control.”
“You do not.”
I pointed at his computer. “Every day, you’re right there in front of the computer . . . which is just where we want you.”
Cue evil laugh.

Live-blogging tonight — I’ll shoot for 8 PM at the latest.
Tammy, I found you a great little housewarming gift. It’s not tacky kitsch, as I had hoped. It’s actually kind of nice. Don’t tell anyone — I have a rep to preserve.
D.
We were out late, at dinner with the children, or we’d have been there. Oh, and we were getting them ready to go to Mayne this morning, too.
Summer. For a relaxing time, it’s sure fucking busy.
Oh, and dumpster-rental is the cost- and time-effective method of junk removal. We’ve never done it, but family has, and it’s great, just load it up and make the phone call.
