Yeah, you heard me. All gussied up I decide to hit the old to-do list and kick butt. I was on a mission. This house is GOING to get packed. So I am driving around town after running around like crazy getting random stuff done when I came to the dreaded task. Collecting boxes. Grrrrr.
I was remembering the last 5 times I packed up my house and moved (once across country!) by myself (Franc HAPPENED to be out of town on a movie EVERY SINGLE time!) and I was remembering how I accomplished this awful task. It sucked. I was at Wal Mart at like 2 am and every other grocer or random shop scavenging for leftovers all huge and pregnant!
So, I actually sat behind my wheel driving down the road audibly praying…”Lord, this is so silly but could you please help me find boxes quickly and efficiently? I desperatley need to get this done and can’t afford to waste time!” And then audibly admitted how strange that was.
So…I drove into the first place that “felt right.” CVS. I scout the perimeter for a nice, neat pile of boxes waiting angelically for the taking but no luck. I go in and ask the dreaded question… “Do you have any spare boxes?” She says…”Yeah…(oh, excitement is building) it’s truck day (Oh, my gosh, how lucky am I?) …but they are all in the dumpster!.” (Oh Crap.)
So. Now. Still all gussied up I strut to the dump. mmmhmmm. Here I am standing looking up at this 10 foot tall dumpster as I made this decision. I’m climbing. You heard me. Patten leather heels, silk shirt and all. I had to get so deep in there I was actually head in the dumpster, belly teetering on the edge and heels (great, super hot heels) high up in the air! Can you believe it!
So I am done on my journey…very proud…as I turn to take my treasures back to my truck as I see a random dude parked in his truck watching my shenanigans! I was in the lot behind the store! Why exactly was he there? Ummm…creepy! My husband said it was probably a redneck fantasy come true! HAHAHAHAA! Yeah, he drove off after I was done!
Anyway, my chin is back up and I am proud to say I did it! You heard me!
(Now any of you crazies want to come help me pack them all up?!!!)
