Brewster’s Millions, 2
I’ve begun a new round of Brewster’s Millions. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the movie (based on a book), it stars Richard Pryor, and revolves around a guy who is left a huge sum on money for his inheritance ($300 Million). However, in order to get it, he must spend $30 million in 30 days, down to the last penny.
Unfortunately, I am not in such a wonderful situation, and definitely not for the second time. In my case, this refers to the need to utilize all of the perishables in my apartment prior to getting new ones. This means consuming all of the food, and finishing off any open bottles of items. I’ll probably just drop spices off somewhere. I can’t use them where I’m going. There’s a lot of Ramen (enough for once, every other day). I wish it had not been on sale.
This also begins the slow pack process, where I remove anything that isn’t useful to me on a regular basis. I think the first thing will be the books that I have on the shelf. I’m about halfway done with everything. However my apartment looks like a complete mess. That’s the biggest problem with packing, however pulling everything out into the open seems to be the best way to ensure that i don’t forget anything.
Black 6, out.

I did not know that Ramen noodles perished! I know this is difficult to do, but try to stay focus on one project. Right now I am unpacking, yeah still doing this (paperwork and crap). I keep working on one plastic tote box and then go to another. I have thrown away a lot of things and getting a pile of stuff to take to the Goodwill. Hmm, need to reorganize some things. Hope your new home will be wonderful! Take Care, Sharon
Ok.. I usually read your blog regularly…. but somehow I missed this blog…
I guess I should ask more questions when we talk. Where are you going?
