Pillows. This is the wonderful green chair that Leslie and I got from a church garage sale soon after we met. I was sure that there was no way that we were going to be able to fit it in the box, but George came along to help (the 2,387th friend he helped move that week) and figured out how we could stuff it all in there. - IMG 2802
One of the great things about having a water bed is that, basically, you get a bed on tap. When it's time to, say, move it across the country, it's as simple as draining and dissassembling it. - IMG 2803
In order to accomplish "the great fitting of everything into the box," I disassembled every piece of furniture I own that had screws accessible. This, along with a couch, a squishy chair, and a papasan all went into the box. I really think George should be granted a Mensa membership for his work that day. - IMG 2804

The box, nearly full. George himself did not eventually end up inside (but we could have fit him). - Hannah
Hannah, another bound for the Bay Area, sitting on my bed. Note the familiar sarong on the wall. That thing has 1001 uses. - Candace creates

The first thing that greets us when we exit our dorm at 6:30 every morning: a line of boxed lunches. I can never look a turkey sandwich in the face again. - diana jen and red lunch bags

Enter the students. This is actually from the midmorning break, ironically called "nutrition." But the only thing I've ever seen the kids eat is hot and spicy cheetos. - nutrition break 2
