I only met you after Simone’s birth and only found this older post because you linked to it (sure, in an ideal world I’d have gone back and read all your archives, and it’s I who am the worse of for not having done so, but there it is). Anyway, just want to introduce myself; I’m the Ford Pinto driving, diaphragm-wearing trollop! And a fun life it is! Well, was — I’m now, you know, hitched, and yes, after several IVFs, also mommed (praise be). Also, technically it was a Datsun 210. Still, good times, good times. But, I get that not everyone can appreciate the joy.

“prodigy of whining”… You crack me up, Alexa. Moving is indeed stressful, but enjoy the new digs! Today is Thursday, so you’re almost back on the grid.

Also, Scooby-Doo shaped macaroni. Hehehe!!!

Recently found your website. Love it! My husband and I have moved 10 times in our 19 year marriage. Yes; I did have a nervous breakdown after one of the moves!

The Hyperbole Primer: BEST EVER Edition should most definitely be written by you. I wonder if that would garner a decent advance?? Then, you could buy an even (if you can imagine it) better apartment! Although, you’d have to move. So phooey on that.

I am thinking that it’d be a good thing if we were more alike, in addition to my being funnier, I’d also have not moved from our old house. Then our mortgage would still be exactly less the amount of our new mortgage that our IVF loan payment will be.

I hope you grow comfy in your new digs soon.

moving sucks so bad!!! I still cannot sleep soundly at night and I am completely out of sorts during the day (the dogs too.) I agree the new cabinets (that we both share) are fantastic but cooking has never been more awkward and frustrating. I long for that “settled feeling.” where is it?!

I hate moving as well. But I seem to do it nearly every year, which drives me insane.

Also, I totally LOVE chocolate-covered frozen bananas! LOVE. Did you make them yourself or did you buy them somewhere in Minneapolis? I must know!

Moving into better digs when you have lived in a pit is a bit of a shock to the system. After 6 months of occupying our lovely new flat, I still get excited that I get to flush the toilet and don’t have to watch whatever just went down come back up again two weeks later through the glass filter of a hose pipe. (We lived on a canal boat previously. For 7 years.) I must admit that the dishwasher fair made me widdle myself in excitement as well! Enjoy!

I want to commend you on your strength, as I start to hyperventilate at the thought of going on a day out and being unable to access a computer. I can’t imagine being without computer AND television. Thursday is just plain unacceptable.

I want to meet this Ford Pinto driving, diaphram wearing trollop. I have to say I’ve always been a little jealous of women like that. I will drive an hour at 4 am to get home too.

That last sentence should include the word “hope.” And I’d like to aside with Frontier House in the FH/MH debate.
