Adventures in Moving ......

                                                 The beginning

Happy Holidays to all....As you all know we are planning to move into our new house around 12/15-- Maybe the 16th or who knows - why not the 17th..

I have been packing boxes, and am amazed at the crap that breeds while we are sleeping.. I know I could not have actually purchased this many pairs of shoes and I have found enough pens that if I drain the ink from them I could float a boat.The dust bunnies are a bit vicious-- I think they are about 15 pounds each and I am sure I saw one of them hopping around in a pair of my red Reebok's..

Ahhh... packing , what an exercise in frustration..Just about the time I think I have found a box big enough to pack some picture frames in , then I discover that I also have a couple of HUGE vases and several fields worth of dried flowers (that are going to turn to dust when I move them) and need to try to find a box to pack them in upright. What the hell was I thinking when I bought them?? Never mind-- no answer required.Another mystery of the Universe-- Just how many coozies does a family of two need?I also have discovered that I have 11 pairs of pantyhose- 9 pairs of navy blue sox and I have actually unearthed a (purple)push up bra. This thing belongs in a historical museum. I have located a 1/2 slip in pale pink and 3pairs of thigh highs. I also have 2 pairs of shoes with 3 1/2 heels.. Just what I need for around the farm-

 Maybe I can change my name to Mona Little and make some extra cash...mmmmoooeeewww.

What other treasurers have I found ...well how about 2 dozen earrings-- none match- but then I do have 5 holes in my ears-- no no - don't get confused-- it is 3 holes in one ear and two in the other ear.. Another adventure in drinking experiment. I have found my Wonder Woman Watch. Long Story there too. And Pictures-- oh my -- I was quite the busy little photographer for "the Crew" for many years.. Lucky for so many that these are snapshots and not videos.. WOWOWOWOWOOOOO- The stories I could tell - and from many different states in the union and may different states of mind or mindlessness road-trips . Take your pick.

Packing up the girlie things in my bathroom has been quite an eye opener. I have 5 bottles of shampoo, 3 bottles of conditioner, 3 boxes of hair coloring and wait -- count them - 33 bottles of nail polish. I don't have any fingernails left since I have started packing - maybe I can use these polishes to label the never ending parade of cardboard boxes. I have found multiple jars and bottles of various moisturizers and I still have alligator skin. I wonder if opening these jars and bottles would actually help this condition? Maybe I'll try it after we move. I have 3 curling irons - 1 set of hot rollers and 5 hairbrushes.. What the hell is that all about, and honey - Do I have War Paint !!! Hell I could run with the best of them-- any color and almost as many different manufacturers. Color Propaganda runs the world..Well I think I will wander thru the maze of boxes and see if I can find the bed ..and to all a good night .........................................This amazing journey will continue tomorrow...
