What's New With Me and Some Not So Helpful Moving Tips!

If you are wondering why I am quiet, we are packing, cleaning, and preparing to move. No, it is not into a treatment facility... yet, at least...

I am working hard on posts, but, with the move even that will be coming to a halt I foresee.. So, my work is becoming greatly affected, but,i know it will be there when I get back.

If you have messaged me and I have not answered you in a timely manner, I am so sorry! My brain is just not in the game right now... Please forgive me....

Since , I have moved a million times, okay 24. I thought I would share some helpful moving tips , actually, what NOT to do.. These probably only apply to me, because, no one moves more than I do. I would love to make enough money to hire movers to move furniture and stuff actually worth moving.. Right now, I can only say.. "Hey, be careful with that couch, it is falling apart!"

Okay , If you are ready, take notes and print this out and hang on the refrigerator so that when you do move, you will have to pick it up from all the other crusty, rat infested papers behind and under the frig.. Let's Go!

1. Do not pack cat and dog in the same box! Better yet, do not pack your dog and cat. Period. Particularly, if you have a long drive.. But, if you do, you can bury them in the same box you packed them in. Win-Win!

2. Rent a huge dumpster. Park it in front of your house and haul all your trash and discarded goods. Neighbors didn't want to buy that junk anyway.

3.When you throw away a box of you wife's dead mother's antique collectable depression glass, make sure you tell said wife, not the dead mother, after the dumpster has left several days later, so, she can wig out properly. (true story)

4. Do not use packing tape for evil heinous pranks that leave people with bald heads or other body parts forever to remain hairless.

5.Same with packing peanuts, use peanuts to pack, not to impress everyone how many you can eat that leave you sick on moving day!

6.Optional: Sell all your stuff and have kids live out of sleeping bags and suitcases. true story.

7. Have people over to help day of the move, make sure to have nothing packed or cleaned, so they can just throw everything in unmarked boxes.

8. Move right after having a baby to make #7 more pathetic, plus, add to the mix, all the women won't let you do or lift anything, In the winter with the heat off. so, all you want to do is hide and stay warm.

9. Be sure to lose large objects like your 12" Lodge cast Iron skillet! Unsolved moving mysteries revisited 28 years later.. Like, where could it go??

10. Have a nosy not so best friend come over and put everything where you didn't want it. Then, offend n-n-s-b-f righteously by taking and moving YOUR stuff right in front of her. (Pssst...Great tip to get rid of unwanted visitors...)

11. Overestimate the amount of moving boxes and tape or markers you will need, they get used up pretty quickly.(okay, this one is actually useful)

12. And, last, but, not least, learn to live out of boxes, to move with flexiblity and ease. Who needs a house to live in for a lifetime anyway?

There you go, this is what I am hoping to avoid in this move.. I apologize that 1 and 4 are not orginal and can assure you that all the rest are true and accurate to the best of my knowledge..

So, be thinking of me for a smooth sailing moving (if only) and be glad you dont have to lend a hand.. But, I can imagine how fun it would be if you could help, because, you would be wonderful!

Peace out and have a great week. Love, PJ♥
