SO basically, the whole of my yesterday can be summarised in 4 words:
LOTS. OF. CARDBOARD. BOXES
Oh, wait; it's 7 words actually:
LOTS. OF. CARDBOARD. BOXES. AND. ORNAMENTAL. PLATES.
Honestly, why would anyone need so many ornamental plates in the house? I think we probably unpacked like 5 hundred BAJILLION boxes full of those goshdarn plates yesterday.
Do you know how big of a number a BAJILLION is?
Neither do I!
Okay, I exaggerate. It could have been less...maybe 7 or so...
...TRILLION.
Hey, there were a lot of plates!
So there we were, the cousins and I...
- Unpacking boxes
- Unwrapping newspaper-covered utensils
- Stuffing said newspaper into said boxes
- Unwrapping more newspaper-covered plates
- Stuffing said newspaper into more boxes
- Stuffing more of said newspaper into plastic bags
And what better way to inject more of it than by playing some Non-Stop Bhangra Mixes Volume 12! I swear, the fellas in the opposite block were having a field day with the stereo system, and it was one HELLUVA powerful stereo system, let me tell you.
On the downside, the kids are heading back too. I guess I'm gonna miss that extra life we had in the house while they were here. Ah well, all good things have come to an end sometime, don't they?
Sigh.
