Oh, and a news article from the part I WAS at.

We moved to Interlude three and a half years ago as a temporary place until our new homes in Mosaic were ready. That day has finally come, and we sure could use your help!

Here is ze plan. Ze plan involves moving all of ze stuff of Beth, Dave, Cat and Zach. We hope zat ze plan also involves lots of YOU!

Extra bribery: All helpers will receive the baked good of their choice (within reason) from Cat at a future date.

If you are not a move-heavy-things person, we could still use your help with making sure food happens, helping to wrangle smaller kids that need wrangling, keeping people hydrated and entertained, and moving-lighter-things.

amuse-bouche : Natick: Friday evening, March 27, we will be loading up a 16' cube van at Interlude. Come over after work, move some stuff, get fed Chinese or other takeout.

petit dejeuner, Berlin: Saturday morning, 9am. If you live near or in Berlin (hint hint Camelot peoples), come UNLOAD the 16' truck Saturday morning. :) Bagels & coffee & such will be provided, of course.

entrée: Natick: Saturday morning, starting at 10am, but come any time. This is the BIG TRUCK, complete with professional movers who will move all of thse things that you don't want to have to lift or carry up or down stairs. They charge by the hour, though, so we want YOU to do the easy stuff :)

LUNCH BREAK! Pizza, Gatorade, Soda & Juice, Natick. Beer upon request. We would love a volunteer to make this happen (on our dime, of course), because we expect to be busy being traffic cops and movers.

relevé: Berlin: Saturday afternoon. Unload the BIG TRUCK, again with the help of (cute) movers to do all the evil things.

DINNER! When we're done, join us for dinner among the boxes.

Sometime relatively recently someone here posted a claymation video of a fancy dinner table and wedding cake. If it was you, can you point me back to your post of the video? I can't find it now. Or maybe someone else on here also saw it?

(I showed it to Zach, who wants to show it around now.)

Soon, chinese food and people will arrive! Yay!

For now, Dave and Barb have taken the boy on a walk (to get the chinese food) and i am going to go read a book.

If you want to talk to me about tonight, use ze phone, not ze LJ or ze Email. Or just show up :)

Hey, we're doing a new thing.

If you're one of the many folks I know who is a fan of Mosaic, but not interested or able to live their yourself...

Who do you know that would be great to live with us? :) There's $500 in it for you.

And as a bonus, you get to reduce my stress level. So there are totally cookies in it for you :)

On Saturday I am going to visit my mom in her NEW HOUSE!

Whee!

Hey, I know a bunch of you have been interested in cohousing, but don't have the money for it. This post is for you, and for anyone else y'all reading this know who fits that criteria [This post is public, so you can link to it]

Hey people who read my journal!

Do you know people who might be interested in living in cohousing west of Boston? Or are you involved with groups (homeschooling, montessori schools, UU churches, reform/progressive temples, pagan groups, music, social mailing lists, etc etc) where I could come talk about it or send literature or post something?

Thanks!

especially for people who have done technical support, or are library types

Who has my copies of the Mary Doria Russell books? _The Sparrow_ and _Children of God_ ?

We have one ticket unspoken for for the Indigo Girls show tonight. Make me an offer :)

I figure I should print out something to hang on the outside of my cube, but I haven't found anything cool. Help? :)

So are there 8 planets, or 12 planets? Who gets to decide these things, anyway?

I am trying to get my address book up to date! Help?

Name, Email, Address, City, State, Zip, Home phone, Work Phone, Cell Phone, Birthday.
(Whatever of that you feel like giving me, of course.)
