Pet Peeve Wednesday: Moving Edition

1.  I have no idea how I have accumulated so much stuff.  I thought that I didn't have that much, and then I started packing my boxes.  Holy-pack-rat, I feel like my apartment should be featured on an episode of Hoarders.  Especially my kitchen.

2.  All this packing has stirred the dust that I probably should have gotten rid of weeks ago, and now I am itching, sneezing and generally unpleasant to be around.  I also am pretty sure I've developed a rash inside my nose.  Did you hear that?? INSIDE my nose.  I disgust even myself.

3.  The worst thing about packing is that there are SO many things I'd rather be doing.  It is literally the last thing I want to do with my day, but it's not the sort of thing you can put off.  Well, I guess you can, but if my mom comes here Thursday and sees a bunch of empty boxes I might not survive the night.  And I like living -- it's pretty nice.

4.  I'm going to have to vacuum before I leave, which is pretty much up there with packing and cleaning the refrigerator on the list of things I really, really don't want to do.

5.  I am definitely having my mom clean the refrigerator.

Any of you guys moving?  If so, I feel your pain!

  1. Ugh moving is definitely tough. Good luck getting it done! Every time I move I vow to myself that I'm never doing to buy stuff ever again!! Haha.

    1. Ha, I bought stuff last week and then was like, "Liz, why the hell are you buying more crap that you have to haul home?!". Sometimes I do stupid things, lol.

  2. ugh, moving really is the worst. before we bought a house i was able to keep a handle on the hoarding because I knew we'd likely have to move in a year or so, but since we've been in this house for 3 years i'm a little terrified of how moving will go whenever we decide to move again. yikes!

    1. I was only here for a year, so I really don't know how I accumulated so much stuff. But let me tell you -- it is not pretty. Not at all. lol

  3. We just moved two months ago. Not fun times at all. I hate packing. And all of the cleaning that goes along with it! I hope you are able to get everything done on time!
