What I am Learning about Packing

• You can never have enough packing tape. I have used about 4 rolls so far.
• Things never fit in a box the way you want them too.
• As soon as you tape a box close you will find something that you forgot to put it.
• Setting a box on the bed and packing into it may seem like a good idea until you try to move the box.
• I will definitely be visiting the chiropractor after moving all of these boxes.
• I am not as great a duster as I thought I as.
• Some stuff is hard to throw away and some stuff is easy too.
• I had this great idea to number each box and take a pic of what was in the box and i could refer back to the number.....and then i realized how much time that would take and I decided against it.
• Sharpie markers are your friend.
• If you decide to write 'CG' on a box you better remember what 'CG' stands for.
• In a small apartment its not so much the packing, but where you put the boxes after packing.
• My poor dogs are so tired of jumping over and sneaking around boxes
