Moving Help

I spent a couple hours with my best friend yesterday, helping her move.  My brother loaned me his truck so I could help move a couple of dressers and a loveseat.  I'm chuckling in the aftermath, because it was comical in a few ways.  She's much more of a girly-girl than I am. 

So we're moving this loveseat down a flight of stairs ... slowly.  (We're old, we don't want to hurt ourselves!! haha)  We get to the bottom, and we're carrying this thing a few steps and she says "I gotta stop."  so we do, and she sets her end down.  Now I'm carrying this thing, have been walking backwards, and the couch when its in my hands covers my face, so I can't see anything.  I can hear her taking a few deep breaths then I hear "I can't get my fingers underneath" , so I tip the couch a little to the right, and tell her to stick her right hand under that corner first.  Then I wait for her to say Ok she's got it, and all I hear is rustling feet and a few grunts.  And I'm thinking WTF? 

Because we're lifting a couch end to end, I'm assuming she's on the other end, facing me, trying to help, right?  So I peer around a corner of the couch to see what she's doing, and I see her ass facing me.  "HEY!  Why am I seeing your ass?? Get around the end and help me lift this thing!"  and she tells me "I'm trying to get my fingers under the couch."  (if you've moved furniture, you know that you'd be on the end, not the side!!)  With as much patience as I can muster, its "Get around to the end, I'll tip it one way, then the other so you can grab hold."  Of course now she's a little tired, my end of the couch is still in the air, so she'll be doing all the lifting.  She gets it part way up and I can feel the wobbles of her attempts.  I tell her "Crouch a little, balance it on your thighs so you can get a grip." 

Mind you, we're only about 15 steps to the back of the truck.....  At the time, I sure didn't feel like laughing, but now, looking back, I can.  hehehehe   We got the loveseat into her new apartment, along with two dressers as well.  Although I'm shaking my head because she's not one who does things ahead of time. She's got 10 days to get moved, and those were the FIRST items to be moved.  lol  Here I thought it was a few of the last pieces to be moved!!

Best of luck, GF!  You'll get it done, I'm sure!!
