So yeah, I’ve been cleaning and throwing stuff away all day. I decided that I needed boxes, but there’s no way I’m going to be able to carry all of the boxes that I probably need home, sooo.. I ordered boxes. They’ll be here tomorrow, so I can’t really PACK anything today, but that gives me today to clean and clean and clean.
Things I also need to do:
- Get electricity turned on
- Look into renters’ ins.
- Contact SBC about phone/internet
- Continue cleaning/throwing crap away
I’ve decided that I’m going to do the unthinkable. I’m tossing almost all of my pictures.
Band pics? tossed.
Other pics? tossed.
Only because I have sooooooooo many.
I’m keeping the negatives… but if I were to keep the pictures, there’d be no room for Joe. haha. I have 6-7 photo/video boxes filled with photos. I have like 13 photo albums filled with pictures. I have 5? 6? binders full of negatives. I’m keeping the negatives. I don’t know where they’ll go, but I can’t toss the negatives. Maybe when I get a free day after all this stuff is done and people are settled, and I can breathe without wanting to kill someone, I’ll go through negatives & figure out which ones I really need to keep.
I know I”ll get sucked into looking at the pics… I’m going to keep some of my favorite friend/family/cat pics, but everything else is out the door.
It’s kind of scary.
Is it tonight yet? I need a sit-and-knit/watch-a-movie break.

Kodak has a photo book software program that allows you to upload your photos into virtual photo albums and add captions just like a real photo album. I don’t remember what it is called but it is definitly by Kodak. Just a suggestion for all of your massive amounts of photos. You can fill the albums and then put them on disks (which obviously take up much less room).
I have to admit it - photographs are the one thing I can not throw away. I’ve got a ton of stuff to move out this summer, but the pictures? They will be staying!
Good luck with your move!
