My room can now be described in one word, BOXES!  Almost everything I own is now in a box.  All except for the bare essentials, of course, which include my bed, my computer, and my clothes.  In fact, most of this apartment is boxes and we can barely walk down the hallway.  I am starting to get a little tired of dealing with all these boxes and I am burning through packing tape like its going out of style.  We now have only 3 more days of packing left before Sunday.  My days in Westmont and Du Page County are numbered and I am looking forward to being on the other side!

During the last few days of packing, I haven't really been packing at all.  I have been organizing my file cabinet, shredding tons of old documents, and filing some mail that has been building up.  I believe the key to quicker packing is being organized while getting rid of clutter that doesn't need to be packed.  I have a little more to go through and then the next phase is more actual packing.  Stay tuned for more blog posts during my transition to Burbank!

Today, I am starting to pack the non-essentials.  I almost packed too many books in one box.  I guess I need to brush up on my packing skills.  I'm looking forward to being done with this phase of moving...I hate packing.  Although, I hate the actual moving part more.  Fun times!!  Stay tuned for more updates!

Well, after 11 years of being in the far south and west suburbs, I am finally returning to my old "hood."  I am looking forward to being closer to the city, my family, the neighborhood I grew up in, and so much more.  Get ready because here I come...back!!
