Packing

When I was in my late teens and early 20's I loved moving. For a while there I was moving around every 6 months. I thrived on change. I was strong enough to carry most boxes and cute enough to get someone else to carry the rest. I had very little mail to forward/ address change and no one depending on me to make sure they will have a school to attend in 3 weeks (not that he would mind sitting out the rest of the year).

Fast forward a dozen or so years... moving is a big pain in my big rear! The end result is very much something to look forward too, but right now I keep catching myself wandering around my 1/2 packed house with empty boxes and a dusting rag really wondering if 10 in the morning is too early for a glass of wine.

Argh!

Ohhh... So that's where the $ goes

Things I should not/will not (maybe) again purchase from Costco:

yogurt- I actually only like yogurt in my I don't eat real food mind and now have to eat 24 in 2weeks

mustard- because really, who needs that much mustard all at once

Parm. Cheese- see mustard

Blueberries- because I love blueberries and will sit down and eat the entire package at once. As one can imagine, it does not end well.

Anything that the kids say "oh yeah, I will totally eat that, I love it"

Don't get me wrong, I am a Costco fan. It is just that I become overwhelmed by the lights and noise and samples and lack of windows and odd things end up in my cart. Also, I forget I don't like yogurt.

Happy Shopping!
