Am I moving or just vacationing?

Help!  You know how when you are moving and sorting through stuff, you get to things and ask yourself, "do I need this or should I toss it?"  And they are really obscure items generally so you end up just throwing them all into a box together, putting it on a garage shelf, and rediscovering it 10 years later completely untouched.

Or you have a bunch of odds and end that don't fit into the "kitchen" or "garage" box so you procrastinate about what box to put them in.  Then your friend comes to help you move and takes one look at the pile destined for the Isle of Misfit Moving Items and throws them all into one box together.  To your horror.  But in reality you are just glad someone put them somewhere.

I am at that place.

Do we need both bath and beach towels or can we combine uses?  Is my dad's phone charger compatible with mine and even if I really believe it is, what if it isn't?  Will I need extra notebook paper for something?  Can I download Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire audiobook to my ipod?  Can I combine fire and water in the same box?

OK, if you have tips for getting through this day, that would be great!  I am hoping to be 90% packed today so we can take advantage of the sun and tire ourselves out tomorrow at a park before we are stuck in the RV for 3 days.

My only recommendation is... if in doubt, don't take it. You will survive without it and if you can't then there are a few stores between here and St. Louis to pick one up. Plus that is where all the good stories will come from when things don't go as planned. Love ya tons, and have fun! Kim
