Ok friends, by now most of you are aware of the tasks at hand and our upcoming flight across "the pond". Our items selected for the container "cut" are making their way to NYC, then hopefully across the sea to our new home in Roma, Italia! As previously mentioned, I have a few relocations under my belt, so to speak, and this move by far supersedes any previous experience or expectation for that matter. Boxes, packing tape, scissors, brown paper, sharpies, and BUBBLE WRAP have become permanent reminders of our eminent move.
This morning while packing some kitchen non-essentials that we can live without for the next 16 sleeps (thanks Freedom), I was contemplating my next blog...BUBBLE WRAP!!! Personally, I have never purchased bubble wrap, nor needed to, because newspaper was cheaper and served the same purpose for packing my most valuable possessions....actually now that I think back, I have lost a few fine crystal glasses along the way. Now that I am somewhat wiser to the arduous and delicate nature of packing those precious items, I have chosen bubble wrap to protect everything that may pose a threat of loss.
Graci and Freedom however, have ascertained that bubble wrap is their recent, newly discovered pleasure and source of entertainment, while I continue to wrap. Freedom's scooter, skateboard and body have all destroyed "my" bubble wrap. Graci agrues that Freedom's body was the most effective...she enjoyed tossing him on top of the bubble wrap roll actually waiting for it's intended purpose!
If I can be honest, I actually enjoy sitting around with a piece of bubble wrap myself, squeezing them between my fingers and hearing "POP". Purpose or pleasure? BOTH!!!
