Today I did something that I promised myself I would never do: I bought boxes.
I. bought. boxes.
Now, I buy a lot of boxes for shipping out Bag Lunch orders. That is not what I'm referring to. I'm talking about purchasing boxes for the sole purpose of carting one's own stuff from one place to another.
I have moved several times over the years and have never once bought moving boxes. I find it to be a stupid notion: purchasing moving boxes. Moving boxes aren't purchased. They are aquired. You find emtpy boxes around your home. Or friends give you empty appliance boxes that they haven't gotten around to tossing out yet. They are never bought.
Moving boxes should have things like "Maytag" and "Fridgedaire" emblazoned on the side in slightly worn off ink. Moving boxes should have to be reinforced with lots of packing tape, because they are old and have been used before.
My moving boxes say "Staples Large" on the side and need no reinforcement.
I am so ashamed.

Sadly, you are the first person I have ever heard of purchasing moving boxes. Tell me that you at least had one milk crate.
This must truly be an end of an era.
Still, good luck with the move!
