If it makes you feel better I totally told my husband the other day that I hadn't done something because I was busy getting reg. He was surprisingly supportive

I know! I wish I was getting a trophy instead though. Much cuter.
Is it too early to start drinking? Packing sounds way better with a glass of wine in hand.

Agreed! I want a trophy... maybe by 2016, lol.
Where are you packing to go? I feel like I probably know but I can't remember at the moment.

I'm moving out of state. MH has a new job. This is my 4th move in 5 years (and 3 states) so you think I'd be a pro at it by now.
This reminds me of a story... My former boss and his wife moved here from Phoenix right around the same time I started at this job.
They moved 2 hours south of here last year. Their garage was half full of boxes they never unpacked from the previous move. Any time they couldn't find something that was in those boxes, they just bought a new one. They literally had two entire households worth of stuff, because they just never unpacked a bunch of it.
They packed it all into their moving truck and took it with them. Where I'm sure they promptly didn't unpack it and did the exact same thing again.

I'm sure you're better at moving than they were.
Geez! What a waste of money. I'm forever getting rid of stuff. MH is always finding more things to take with us. I am such a minimalist. I don't even own a toaster, the oven broiler does me just fine.
At least with this move we can throw everything in a U-haul. Last 2 moves were from Islands. Had to get rid of almost everything. I have had to buy all new kitchen stuff twice already.

Fourth move in 5 years? Yes, have a big glass of wine, I don't care what time it is! Good luck with your packing!
Thanks! I've moved a lot since leaving my home state about 8 years ago. It's hard for me to stay still for too long. Now I have a real reason with MH's job.

We made fun of him for a really long time about it. When H and I bought a house about 6 months after he moved in to his, he offered to bring me a bunch of boxes from their move so we wouldn't have to buy/scrounge for them. He brought me two and said he couldn't bring me any more because apparently they hadn't unpacked as many as he thought they had.
My H and I are like you, though. When we moved out of our apartment we must have done like 4 different drop offs at Goodwill to get rid of stuff. We still go through and do a big purge once a year or so.

I can't even let my suitcase stay unpacked more than an hour after I get home. lol
I also love to go through my things and get rid of stuff. It's hard with clothes sometimes. I always feel like the moment I get rid of a shirt, I'll need to wear it for something the next day.
I am not sure what that means? Do you need to pop it?
I don't know what it means either lol. It sounds like a cracking noise inside. Maybe it does need to pop!
I've had that happen a couple of times recently. The first time it ended up being fluid or something because of sinus pressure. The second time it was (gross) a large piece of wax that just kept moving around in there.

What a waste! I know packing and unpacking isn't fun but to have to re-buy everything because you don't want to do it?
We are getting ready to go through a big purge I think. With the kitchen demo and emptying cabinets, plus we will get to reorganize the garage because a lot of stuff out there should be in the kitchen. I can't wait. I don't like clutter and I like clearing my life of it!

Started listening to the Harry Potter audiobook yesterday as a way to encourage myself to work out more (made a rule where I can only listen to it if I'm working out or exercising). It must be working because all I want to do is go home and get on the elliptical so I can listen to it some more.

We've been doing that. We moved into our house last year, and the only things we still haven't unpacked are some of my notes from grad school. I don't need them, and we definitely don't have room, so they stay in boxes in case I ever do need to go through one.
I couldn't stand not unpacking as soon as boxes came into the house. In our last apartment, we had boxes piles everywhere because we didn't have space/the need to unpack them. I hated it. Growing up, my parents would move boxes from house to house, never unpacked. I never understood it.

Two summers ago we remodeled our kitchen, replaced the carpets and laminate flooring, put in a new forced air heating/cooling system (we had baseboard heaters before) and switched from an electric tank water heater to a gas tankless water heater. So there was basically no room that went untouched. In the end I think we did two big boxes to the food bank, a truckload to Goodwill and a truckload to this home improvement re-sale store (they take old fixtures and paint and stuff, repair it and sell it, all proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity). Plus one truckload to the dump to get rid of the old cabinets and a wood bed frame that fell to pieces when we tried to move it.
