The movers are here now, and we are cursing Swedish ingenuity. TD Bank customer service was outstanding again this morning. Thinking of you all and whatever trials you're going through today.

Who is Moxie?
- Not an expert, just a mom. I help people troubleshoot their parenting problems.
This is my philosophy.
Search my archives on the upper left side of the screen. If I haven't addressed your topic yet, send me an email. I get 12-15 questions a day, so yours may not go up on the site, and since I have other jobs I may not answer privately, either. Someday...
New questions post M-F at 6 am (EST), usually, with a book review up on Friday night.
Ask me
- Email me to ask a question. If you don't want me to use your name or link to your blog, let me know. Otherwise, I'll use your first name when I post your question (but not your email). If you want your question to remain completely private, please make sure you label it "private"!

I am thinking of YOU and hoping that your move goes smoothly with no trials whatsoever.

By "cursing Swedish ingenuity," you must mean you have a lot of IKEA furniture, right?

LOL
Welcome to my LIFE!

Good luck with the move and the IKEA furniture!

Keep thinking of the reward at the end - takeout and cold beverages ... hang in there!

Hope it went well!

Swedish ingenuity- priceless!

Oh, how well I remember those NYC moves. We also cursed Swedish ingenuity. A tip: Never underestimate the power of non-stick cooking spray. Seriously. It's the only way we got our couch out of our tiny apartment door! Best of luck with your move!

Hope your first night in the new place was filled with happy dreams of a glorious future.

It's been so long since we last chatted -- just wanted to pop by and wish you a happy "homecoming" and best of luck as you get settled. Very sad I will miss you in Chicago.
