1. Getting enough boxes to pack all my stuff. At times like this, I wish I was able to surround myself with as few possessions as the people in this photo series. (photo above)
2. Finding the end of the tape roll...over and over again. I appear to not have a tape gun any more and it is making me full of the sad.
3. Packing up all my lovely book friends for weeks and weeks at a time. I like to be able to gaze at my rows of books on the shelves and think of the ton of money I spent on my English degree.
4. Bare walls - pictures are always the first things to get taken down, and the sight of the chipped paint and random nails is a bit depressing.
5. Towering stacks of boxes - I keep stubbing my toes on these things and am a bit worried the dog is going to knock a stack over on himself.
But it will all be worth it, right? I guess I just wasn't expecting to have to move THIS weekend! Wish me luck friends--I'll post some more pictures of the new place once the craziness of packing and moving is over and we're a bit more settled in.

I feel your pain. I am moving too. I have 13 years worth of crap between a husband and two kids. We are making the move in a few days. I recently wrote a post about my current frustrations too.
ReplyDeleteWe grin and bear it for the end result.
Yikes, I can see how that would be a lot more stuff than I have! I hope you have lots of help. Good post too:)
DeleteLove the picture, I hate moving, always a great feeling when it's over with! good luck :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too...I keep trying not to move every two years but it's not working out so well yet. I always get the itch to move somewhere new !
Deletehi gilly! i've nominated you for the versatile blogger award! when you get a chance check out the nomination post on my blog: http://captainsharmie.wordpress.com/2012/06/21/the-versatile-blogger-award/
ReplyDeletegood luck with your move! hopefully i will see you later :)
Ooh thanks lady! What an honour:)
DeleteYa, hopefully once the move is over with, I can do ALL THE KNITTING at knit night:)
You know what is worse than moving? Unpacking (and taxes)! Eugh! I'm still not unpacked from our move in September and I'm not about to start. I feel your pain though - I dread the day I need to move again...
ReplyDeleteUgh don't even make me think about that part! Hopefully while unpacking I get rid of most of the things I own. Or just leave half of them here, lol!
DeleteI feel the same way about packing! I've moved sooo many times. I have definitely had a few fights with the tape roll and the mounting stacks of boxes. I would also add address changes with all the accounts, post office, etc.... ahhh
ReplyDeleteGood point, I haven't even done ANY of the address changing yet....the moving saga continues!
DeleteHi! You just followed my on Twitter, and I'm in the best kind of shock:
ReplyDelete#1. You are a Gillian?! With a G? Moi aussi!
#2. You are in Guelph? I did my undergrad there, but now I live 45 min away in Orangeville... but compared to all the bloggers I follow around the world, Guelph still seems like next door!
#3. You are crafty? Awesome!
To summerize: Your name is Gillian, and you like to sew. Hello doppleganger!
Forgive my excitement! Nice to "meet" you! (Did we actually meet last night at the Etsy thing in Hamilton? I don't recognise you, but that seems like the obvious way you would have found me?)
Clearly we are doppleganger besties to be! I totally followed you b/c you're a crafty Gillian, I won't lie :) And hope, wasn't in Hamilton, just saw a post by Annie bee I think, and clicked!
DeleteNice to meet some close by bloggers as well! *wave*
Oh yeah - also? I just turned thirty in June. *cue spooky music!*
ReplyDelete30 year old Gillian High fives are clearly in order:)
