Wife swap

It's been a few months since we posted. We gave ourselves an deadline of Halloween to get the place in somewhat decent - able to present to the public shape. Halloween came and gone and our pile of outbox is still here.

We're not sure what to do with the 14 boxes in the outbox pile. The problem is that charities in NYC area won't pick up unless you have furniture. So how do we get 14 medium size boxes all the way down to SoHo area. Make 5 trips with our two feet and a hand truck?!?! Get in a taxi and pay?!?! It just seems wrong to pay money to get rid of stuff. So we don't know and in the corner it sits. If you guys have any suggestions, please let us know.

So the other day, Sean gets an email from one of the producers at "Wife Swap" - asking if he's interested in being considered as a participant. Huh?!?! What!?!? Apparently, the producers thought the LEGO angle might be a cool one to showcase in the show. I was like "No way!" Have you guys seen that show!?!? We have only seen the trailers they show during commercial breaks and it looks scary. So doubly, triply "no way!". Then Sean tells me that they pay $20,000 for people to be on the show. Oh! Wait... that amount of money pays for a bathroom and kitchen renovation. Hmm... I think I can do it for a week. But it turns out we don't meet the demographics... you need kids. Oh well!
