Packing boxes

We spent the better part of the weekend packing up the office and kitchen for the impending remodel. Two small rooms sure can accumulate a lot. I tossed out so much stuff and there was still so many boxes; thank goodness Keith decided to rent a storage unit to house most of our stuff for two months.

Ever see the episode of "I Love Lucy" where the Ricardos are getting ready to move out to their house in the country? They have a two or three day delay between the time they need to be out of their apartment and the day they can actually take posession of their house. The Mertzes let them move in to their apartment for three days, along with their boxes of stuff. Four adults and little Ricky, in small tenement apartment, with boxes piled floor to ceiling, save a small walkway from the kitchen to the front door and a small sitting area. And of course, they're all trying to use the walkway at the same time.

I have to admit I was feeling like the Mertzes. Between all the cabinets wrapped in heavy kraft paper out in the garage, and all the boxes we were moving out of the kitchen and office, it seemed like we had no room for any of us. Goodwill will definitely be hearing from us!
