Thinking Inside the Box

I have succumbed to the fact that I can no longer just pack things up that we wont need until after the move! I was putting it off, the thought of living for the next however long with nothing but nails on the walls just depressed me! However I have officially packed everything I don't use/need on a daily basis. If I want to keep up with the packing I have to pack decorations because I cant go boxing up our underwear drawers!!!! Joe said that we will do all of that next weekend and live out of a suitcase until the following Tuesday! Yikes! That is only 9 days away and I am working 2 of those so that is only 7 packing days away! I actually think that I am in pretty good shape.

There are boxes lining the walls in the dining room ready to be taken to Joe's sisters for storage, and Joe had to move the dining room table yesterday so it is pushed up against the boxes. Annie keeps trying to walk around the table on the boxes side instead of the wide open side because that was always the side we walked around her whole life :o) She pushes through the chairs and boxes grunting and saying "toot, toot" because that is what I say when she is in my way "excuse me, toot, toot" so when we tell her to say excuse me she just says "toot, toot"

We ordered carpet last night at Home Depot which was exciting however I am already tired of spending money and we haven't even closed on the house yet! We have anticipated all of the expenditures that we can think we will need in this moving process but its still not fun to see such large sums being spent all at once. Remember I am not a spender, I am a hoarder :o)
