"We accept quality blog that are in English only and please submit titles and descriptions in English only."

The irony of the above is that it should be :"We accept quality blogs...."  Sad to say that's hardly the only "English" error on the blog directory submission page, such as numerous "We not"'s, "All payment is life time inclusion", and "$5.99 (Before Price Up!!!)",  And to add insult to injury, this is one of the few directories that I've seen that doesn't offer free submissions (and I have a list of at least 12 that don't,. although a few require reciprocal linking), to which I can only add that I hope their service is better than their language skills.
As for the move, we've run into a bit of a snag.  It appears that my brother-in-law's vehicle isn't up to making the trip here and back.  I was considering renting a car, having him drive it up here, and then have him drive the van back while one of his sons drives the car back (it's not like all five of us would fit in the van), but, unfortunately, neither of his sons has a driver's license.  It looks like we'll have to rent the car, fill the van, and send one of his sons and my wife via bus or train.  Adds a bit of cost to the move, but I don't see any viable options out there.

The Experiment Was A Success; Status Report At T-minus 2 Days

I is genius!
On the home front, I still have one (half) bin of garbage to toss out unless we find some more, which I highly doubt.    The only things left to pack are pretty much stuff that will have to wait until the last minute (food, dinnerware, the telephone, clock, cables from the TV and computer, etc.).  I've taken everything we had hanging on the walls off, but still have some nails in the combination dining room/ kitchen that I'm going to have to wait until we remove the boxes that are piled in front of the window which is under them (the nails, that is).  I still have to call to get gas/water/electricity turned on, but, other than that, my day today (the 23rd) should be fairly free.  My brother-in-law and a couple of nephews (from my wife's side) should be coming from Los Angeles sometime Friday (night?) to help us get the truck, load it, and move our stuff there and we've already cleared a space for them in the living room for them to sleep.  Then the fun begins all over again with unpacking and getting settled in.
My brain, meanwhile, is still in that weirded-out zone between "Wow!  Are we finally going to do this?" and "AUUUUUUUUGH!  Do we really want to do this?".

EDIT: Just had a scary moment when I heard something fall in the kitchen.  Turned out to be just the ironing board which was leaning against the refrigerator sliding down.

One Week To Go... And Then We're Off To L.A.

I'm currently on vacation and plan to move with my wife to Los Angeles next week (February 25) to an apartment that's only a couple doors down from where her sister lives.  We're pretty much all packed up, but have a few more things that we're still have to get to.  I've called the utility companies to shut off service here.  Still have to find out which company is supposed to supply gas and electric down there, as well as make an appointment to get internet connected.  I'm also still waiting to find out whether I'm going to have a job down there at HomeTown Buffet.  I currently work at the one in Salinas and have been with the company for almost 13 years, but evidently, that's not enough to assure me that they're going to let me work there.  I'm just going to what I always do, though: the best I can and after that, not worry about it (not that I'm claiming that that's always as easy to do as to say).
