Overpacking?
So my end result of packing was: 6 boxes.
Why so much??
Well I only have 1 box with clothes. And the hangers are still on each item!
So what's in the other boxes?
Lots of items that I will use up during the program. Things like shampoo or lotion. I'm a serious penny pincher and did not want to rebuy something. Especially since I'm considering moving to that area. I don't want to come back for old shampoo. Gross. I'm also bringing tons of organizational items and office supplies. Clear containers, journals, my printer, spare ink, paper, stapler, a mirror, a desk lamp, a pinboard, blah blah blah. Lots of stuff! So while it seems like I'm bringing a lot of stuff. I won't be bringing back nearly as much. I just don't like spending money if I don't have. A little extra effort on my part by packing and bringing down all of those things had to be spent, but effort is free.
Break Down of My Boxes: (I'm highlighting the things that will be used up during the program)
Box 1 Clothes
Box 2 Loose fitting clothes/Exercise clothes, Printer, Shoes
Box 3 Locking jewelry box, Hanging Shower Caddy, Carrying Shower Caddy, Lamp, Mirror, Storage containers, a recipe book, bed risers, etc.
Box 4 Shampoos/Conditioners, Lotions, Movies, Feminine Products, DVD's, paper, spare ink for printer, other office supplies, and a shadow box with the very first flowers my boyfriend gave me ^.^
Box 5 Books, purses, smaller containers, garbage bags, some every day plastic dishes, and more.
Box 6 "Last Minute Box" for clothes I'm currently using, makeup, nail supplies, anything else.
I'm thinking about reopening the boxes to make sure that I absolutely have no room in them or really need what is inside of them. But, remember, you can always send stuff home. :)
