revelations from packing.

after packing for the past 5 hours, i've found interesting things in my parents' place:
- unopened windsor pilates DVDs
- unicorn stickers!!! (which were promptly put onto my planner hahahaha)
- receipts & keychains galore.
- a lot of reusable eco-friendly market bags.
- unused photo frames.

thus far, i have:
- 5 very heavy boxes of books & important documents
- 2 boxes of DVD's
- 1 wooden vase thingy of purses, DVD's, dumbbells (basically, i didn't want to assemble another box for miscellany)
- 1 plastic bag of scarves
- 1 kitchen garbage bag of purses
- 1 kitchen garbage bag of board games
- 1 sleeping bag, 2 yoga mats.
- 2 trader joe's paper bags of receipts and recyclable papers

conclusions:
- i have a lot of crap. crap! :\
- tape is not my friend.
- i am a packrat / hoarder.
- i will never buy keychains again as souvenirs.
- i will never save another receipt unless it's of utmost importance and/or for tax purposes.
- i went through all of my receipts and found some to get redeemed at the grove and/or americana concierge services for my loyalty rewards. yes, i'm that girl.
- my lower back hurts, my legs are wobbly, and my bare feet are black (from all the dust).

tomorrow's plan:
- clothes. clothes. clothes.
- kitchen crap.
- editing books / notebooks
- boxes under my bed.
- printer.
- bathroom (laundry basket & towels).
- shoes.

it is inevitable that i am leaving some of my crap at my parents' place. i'll come by and get it...later. (note to self: sister's notebooks from college, box of clothes under mom's bed, frames & boxes in mom's closet/middle closet)

basically this was a huge post-it note to myself. please forgive.
