Lessons in Moving

1. Sneezing is an excellent abdominal workout. Sneezing happens when you tear your house apart to put it all in boxes. Abs of steel, baby, abs of steel. (Probably a sinus infection eventually too, but the abs of steel are much more impressive.)

2. Mr. Honey has this freakishly cool talent he likes to call "tetris-fu" (and he thinks he can credit Tee Morris with the phrase). Mr. Honey can look at a crapload of stuff and make it all fit inside a space that I would've sworn was too small to fit said crapload of stuff, and then have room left over.

3. Let the professionals pack your kitchen. Time for one professional packer to pack a kitchen: 5 hours. Time for 3 other professional packers to pack up 3 bedrooms plus a living room, dining room, bathroom, laundry room, coat closet, and two outdoor storage sheds: 4 hours. Time for Honey and Mr. Honey to do it all themselves: Ha! Like we're stupid enough to find out! (Nor would we like to price the attorney fees for the inevitable marital problems that could result.)

4. Hide the internet modem, wireless router, and laptop computers from the movers, so you can still plug in to the web once you're sitting around your house with nothing entertaining to do, since everything else has been packed and sealed in boxes that won't be picked up for another 3 days. Might want to hide a couple books, too.

5. Make friends with people who like to cook you dinner. Just trust me on this one.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'll see you Monday from my new home, once my new network is all hooked up.
