Catchy Name Needed

Halfway through, a recap:
11/1 - Recap of last year's effort (which went badly.) Moving report, and a picture of a piece of furniture we're trying to get rid of. Money matters.
11/2 - (Time on entry: 6:09am) Complaining about waking up too early. Worrying about whether this makes me like my mother. Attempt to make you jealous about the l33t-ness of my new computer. Musing about breakfast. Plus bonus meme!
11/3 - Random bits about moving. Links to stuff we bought at the Container Store.
11/4 - Report on the quilt show I just went to, all the pictures I took and who I talked to (or didn't).
11/5 - Complaining about partially-completed defensive driving class. What I did (or didn't do) on my day off.
11/6 - Picture of a quilt that somebody else made. Link to more pictures of quilts I didn't make. Weather report. Complaining about work.
11/7 - Hatred of word "webinar." Weight-loss talk, with link. GuildWars talk, with screenshot.
11/8 - General complaining. Link to TMI from last year about medical procedures. Musings about local news story and the national attention it's gotten. Complaints about neighbors. Passive-aggressive bragging/complaining about all those damn quilt pictures.
11/9 - Complaints about sleep and general tiredness. Money I spent and haven't told my husband about. Baseball, possible Christmas presents, and whether the weather will be bad soon. Link to NaBloPoMo Randomizer. Bitching about general quality of other people's posts, without irony.
11/10 - "Today in History" Wikipedia link. Report on Saturday activities, including shopping. Holiday plans. Additional post later includes a summary of a deleted rant about the word "mommyblogger".
11/11 - More complaining about defensive driving (finally completed). Other Sunday activities.
11/12 - Meme. Locked post complaining about family holiday matters. Public post mostly concerns a popular reality show.
11/13 - Another meme. Possible future travel plans. Vaguely-related rant about matters Southern. Yet another meme. Sleepy (and misspelled) bragging about the dungeon we just completed in GuildWars.
11/14 - Weather report. Links to pictures of the quilt that was on my bed, the one that's now on my bed, and the one that may be later. Vaguely-worded family story, with self-justification. Report on progress of unpacking. Spelling correction from yesterday.
11/15 - Um, that would be this, the meta-entry. Which is sort of a meme in itself.

So. I went and signed up for NaBloPoMo, even though I did rather badly at it last year. Of course last year was not in any way a normal year, and November was particularly bad, because that was when it became painfully obvious that my mother was actually dying. Under the circumstances, I'm not terribly inclined to beat myself up about whether I posted enough that month. And we will just see how this goes. I'll be surprised if I actually post every day, but stranger things have happened!

We are mostly occupied this week with unpacking, getting the new computer set up, and getting the last stuff out of the old apartment. We have until Sunday to be out, technically, but one of the assistant managers called me earlier to ask if we were done or not. I don't know if she had forgotten she gave us until the 4th or what, but I told her they were welcome to come in and start working on whatever they needed to work on, but that we were still working on getting the last few things out. That mainly means this:



We have been trying in a half-hearted way to sell it but have had no takers. I don't guess it's really in line with current furniture trends or anything, but it's in pretty good shape for its age, if you have room for such a thing. (We don't, really, which is why we're trying to get rid of it.) I think my parents bought it the year I was born - i.e., 1960 - and it was in my bedroom for my entire childhood. My mother had it in her apartment after the divorce and it eventually made its way back to me. Part of me hates to get rid of it, but the fact is, it's a clutter magnet, as well as being incredibly bulky. So I called the Salvation Army and they're going to come get it on Monday. (We called the apartment management back - with a bit of trepidation - to see if they'd have a problem with us technically missing the Sunday deadline to be completely out, but apparently not. They didn't say anything about it, anyway.)


In other news, I really, really need to find Microsoft Money, and get the data from the last backup and get caught up on my finances. We have a big cushion to work with right now, of course, or we would have really been screwed. For years we lived paycheck to paycheck and I had to constantly know what our bank balance was to keep from overdrawing the account. Now that it's not so crucial I have gotten very bad about getting behind on keeping up with it. (So far my copy of MS Money has not turned up, though, and we have relatively few completely unopened boxes now. I am going to have to do some sleuthing tonight, I guess!)

Added: it took me about 5 minutes to find my copy of Money. The next sticking point: I don't know my own passwords. I have a list but it's at work!
