I learned a few things with this move...
* This was my 15th move (8 in MD and 7 in TX)...scary! I really need to stay in one place for longer than a year or 2. :-)
* I am too old for this crap. Every part of my body is sore and I have more bruises/scratches than I can count.
* I wont live in an apartment again...ok well maybe but the first floor only (I may need to when I am old and in an assisted living/nursing home or something LOL). No more stairs!
* I will not move in the middle of summer (in over 100 degree heat), what was I thinking?
* I should have lost about 10 lbs from going up and down the stairs to move out of my 3rd floor apartment in the 100 degree heat. I will verify this once I find my scale...its in one of these boxes here.
* Dont tip your movers until you are sure they tried their best to get EVERYTHING in the truck. (not only did I tip them but I tipped them well because I felt so bad about the heat). Dont get me wrong, I was happy with my movers, not only were they on time but they were early. I just wish they had tried a little harder to get it all on the truck for me and I certainly wouldnt have given as big of a tip as I did, had I realized how much didnt make it.
* My brother in law is the best for coming over and helping me move the rest of the stuff the movers couldnt get on the truck.
* My mom and sister are the best for helping me pack/unpack and declassify myself as a hoarder. :-)
* And I am really glad to be in a house again...so much space and I may actually unpack all my boxes this time. Believe it or not I still have boxes that I have not unpacked since I moved from MD. So most of that stuff will probably go in the yard sale box but at least it will get unpacked finally!
