*grin* the cool stuff I bought never made it into a box, because I bought
it Saturday morning after I had packed up. (This is how I maintain my
budget-- only essential purchases get made during the week, like the
vegetable dyed hemp thread, then on Saturday I do my Pennsic shopping...)

The dirty clothes are washed, but now I'm dealing with the clean clothes,
the mustard kit, the spices kit, the handouts, the food kit, the coolers
that need to be cleaned, and of course the leftover pickle jars from War
Camp that need to be santized and deodorized 'cos my Mormon friend knows
someone who can get honey for $1.25 a pound if you bring your own jar...

I have about 8 boxes, 3 of which haven't made it out of the car yet. I've
also picked up 2 bookcases and a futon sofa at the thrift shop, and
haven't brought the sofa in out of the car because there's no room until I
throw out the old mousy sofa...

And I'm supposed to be 4 places at once this weekend... :)
