OH... The JOYS of Packing
Ok... today I went to St. John's. I had a great day, Crystal and I had facials done. It felt so relaxing, nice hey? Anyway, we got back at around 7:30 and was greeted with PACKING. This is my 7th year of packing. You would think by now that I would be an expert packer... but I am sorry to say that I am not. Yes, I got the clothes thing down and ornaments and stuff like that... but groceries for a year I have decided is not in my packing expertise.
Imagine this ... this is truly what my house looks like at the moment: 12 huge rubbermaid containers, 3 - 12 packs of 1 litre juice, 200 bottles of water, keyboard and supplies, guitar, loads of duct tape, and a table full of dinosaurs, insects, and animals on the kitchen table. Yes, that is my hall and kitchen at the moment. It is rather funny. I have presently over 620 pounds of stuff... that isn't including the water, the juice, the keyboard, or guitar. Crystal and I have become very creative in ways of weighing things.
Some include: (1) stepping very quickly on the weighscale and placing items to be weighed on it, (2) manuevering ourselves very quickly, and my personal favourite (3) lift heavy item, Crystal cover her head with pillow, I lift with all of my might and pray that I don't drop it. Ok. yes, now I think my biggest packing challenge has definitely been Makkovik.
Anyway, for all of you out there who pack... I know what you are going through. I have packed up 7 years in a row for moving apartments or house, 5 years for camp, and countless camping trips. Yes, I show much compassion towards those of you who pack! But the important thing is this: BE POSITIVE and HAVE FUN while you're are doing it.
OK I should go and finish packing. I am officially the duct tape queen and some more containers need to be duct taped before the transport comes to pick it up tomorrow.
Alright, we just made memories that will last a lifetime. Have a great day and keep smiling for God.
