Packing Once, Packing Twice...

I finally started packing today.  That's when I discovered the packing tape I'd purchased probably won't be the best for holding the boxes together...although if the contents fall out it will be fewer items to move.

We of course knew when we moved in that the bulldozers would be driving through the walls of our cherished house one day, but it is still a bit sad.  We love this house and this neighbourhood, and have no idea where we will end up next.  Well, hopefully within a 10 kilometre radius, but apart from that, we're still looking for a rental.

I suppose on the upside, all this packing and moving will provide a free, in-home gym experience.  I have purchased a 10-pass to the swimming facility, but haven't had a chance to go this weekend as several of us attended a women's conference in the city.  I did make up for by walking all over Southbank in 2 days.  I'm certain the Exhibition Centre itself is at least 50 kilometres long.  We were able to drive from the hotel to the conference on the second day, but of course being women, we made up for it by walking around window shopping.  The good news is that it walked off the 4 bites of white chocolate mud cake I had in honour of a friend's birthday. 

So, this week will be spent finding boxes and packing materials and turning the house into a cardboard fortress.  I'm still working on the cardboard arrows and moat to keep the bulldozers out.
