Laws of Packing

There are certain undeniable laws of packing.

1. You can NEVER have too many boxes. We went to Home Depot two days ago and bought what we thought were the last of the boxes that we would need. HA! Jim is now as we speak running to Home Depot for another box run. I *think* that this will be it. But probably not.

2. Just when you think you are done packing a room, you find more. I hate all the small stuff that you just don't know what do with. Like the 7 bars of soap under the bathroom sink. We don't use bars of soap. We use body wash. So why keep the 7 bars? My solution? Keep 2 and throw the rest away.

3. You can never have enough bubble wrap or newspaper. We have gone through 3 giant rolls of bubble wrap and 2 smaller rolls. We also have gone through the equivalent of a month's worth of newspaper.

4. This side of packing is just one big pain. But hopefully the other side will be a little bit more fun. Maybe.
