I moved into my new house over the weekend. I took off work today to start packing. I've been throwing away trash and boxes and moving stuff into place and unpacking and such for the past six hours and the house seriously looks like I haven't even touched it. Unpacking sucks.

I agree. As you're unpacking, you have these grand plans for how much more organized you're going to be this time around. Then about halfway through you give up and just start putting things away wherever there's a spot, and 2 months down the road you forget where you stuck Item X, that you were so certain you were going to know where you put it this time.

Unpacking and packing really blow. It sucks so much, I've quit using everything I own. Basic clothes, toiletries, bedding and a TV. That's all I have out, ever, since I moved to Little Rock.

I've got like 5 boxes that never get unpacked. For 3 or 4 years, they've been packed. They get moved and stored away in some dark place of the new house. Then, a year or two later, I'll move, pick up the box and put it in some dark place of the new house. It's like a time capsule for myself. One of these days, I'll open them up to find stuff like pictures of old girlfriends, old bed sheets or something, maybe a 2006 Sports Illustrated celebrating a Cardinals win.....who knows what else is in there....

If someone helps with the TV, I can pack and unpack in less than a day. It's awesome. And depressing.
