July 2nd, 2005lessons learned while packing
When selecting a location to store what is packed and ready to go, make sure you can lock out any furballs who live with you.
Don’t turn on the TV, as the TNT premiere of “Saving Private Ryan” might be on in honor of the holiday (l-o-v-e this movie), and you will cease to pack to watch the cute boys in uniform.
Don’t pack the tape. It’s a real pain in the ass trying to find it three boxes later.
Don’t stop to read that journal you just found in a back cabinet from a trip you took three years ago… it’s coming with you.
And most importantly, don’t pause to blog about the packing—even if it’s just to share that the said furballs are taking contortionist jumps off the falling boxes and it is truly hilarious to watch.
Uh oh, I’m totally guilty of finding an old journal and sitting down to read it cover to cover while moving.

LOL. Isn’t it addictive? I’ve since given up on the packing, journals and Saving Private Ryan!… it’s cause I ran out of boxes, I swear! 🙂

just as long as one of your precious pets don’t end up going “missing” inside one of the boxes you should be o.k.!

Nope they haven’t gone missing yet.. although one of them is inside a suitcase right now (I think she thinks I’m leaving her.. lol).
Glad you liked it Ruth… it will no doubt be updated as my apartment is turning into an obstacle course and I just found the “secret” spot my where my cats have been hiding my rubberbands for my hair—rascals.
