Alright, here goes my first attempt at blogging....
My family and I moving from New Hampshire, USA to Qing Dao, China. Originally we were leaving on 10/15 then it was 11/3. Now the departure has moved to 11/6. VISA issues and the fact that I am denial has prevented me from actually doing anything to prepare for the trip. This is my first step in preparation.
I bought 30 pounds of dog food today. My father moved in on Aug. 15. So we deided that we should move to China. Really. I also bought about 12 frozen mice for the snake. Did I mention that my father moved in on Aug 15. It is a small snake and a small dog, so they should be all set.
This will be father's first NH winter as he moved in on Aug. 15 from the NYC area. I think he is starting to panic as he realizes he may get snowed in. Chris told him to make sure he has his stroke outside so that the house doesn't get oo funky. That went over as well as expected.
I also started making piles. Everyone has a pile. A big huge pile of things that might get packed. The piles are stacke din the living room. I find some comfort in that. Chris says that the piles are just an excuse for me to not put any laundry away. He may be right, but did I tell that my father moved in. He (my father) had a hole in his pant pocket. I gave him a needle and thread, he said no thanks, "I just need some duct tape". QUACK

WOW! CHINA! I hadn't heard from you in so long that I thought you had dropped off the face of the earth, and now you really are!! What made you pick China? Is it a job transfer for one of you? Are the kids excited? How long are you staying there? Give me more info!
The dog and the snake seem pretty well cared for. But what about dear Ol' Dad. He can't sustain himself on 60 lbs of dog food and 12 mice..... Or can He?
I volunteer to come up and check on Mr. 1-800 during the winter. I will bring him food and water.
Good Ruck on your Chineese Adventure!
Hey Dawn,
I still have a message in my inbox from you dated 3/1/07 that I keep meaning to reply to......
Avuncular Rob...I thinks it's Uncle Rob now, but feel free to check on dear ol dad anytime. Just don't dial 911 if necessary.
Hey JB!
Nice wall. How's the food? Have you eaten anything weird yet? (It's got to be better than Dog Chow and mice...at least you have good beer)
You need to post a picture of your building/apartment. After all, we need to feel like we are there.
