- Scenes From Moving Day 2007
Congratulations to Jane who was the winner of the Moving Day Giveaway!
Moving day is fast approaching. Thursday morning, bright and early, a team of rugged gentleman will once again drag all of our worldly goods into a truck and then drop them off at our new home. Sounds almost pleasant, doesn’t it? Well the truth of the matter is that I’ve only packed our books so far. All 18 boxes of them. So we’re probably only 15% packed at this point with mere hours to go before we have to be done. I foresee the next two days consisting of very late nights and lots and lots of sticky tape incidents and exasperated yelling that will include variations on, “Where’s the black marker?!” and “Get out of the box Dexter!”
Needless to say I’ll be out of commission for the next week, but I fully intend to come back in a much more lively and (hopefully) more frequently updated blogging style. I harbor high hopes that I can once again return to cooking actual food in my oven (I’ll see you soon central air) and as I’ll have an actual functional kitchen again I might potentially be persuaded to use some of the kitchen gadgets and appliances that have been collecting dust over the last four months. Fingers crossed!
In the meantime, so you don’t forget all about me, I wanted to give you a chance to win a pack of pretty fabulous cookbooks that didn’t make it into a box this week:
The Big Summer Cookbook: 300 fresh, flavorful recipes for those lazy, hazy days
The River Cottage Preserves Handbook

Anna Getty’s Easy Green Organic
To be eligible to win this great four-pack all you have to do is leave a comment on this post.
In addition, If you share the link to this contest on your own blog, Twitter, Facebook etc… you may have one additional entry for a total of two possible chances to win.
