June means that I'm leaving next month

And I'm seriously thinking about what to pack, and how to downsize everything I own.  Josh and Kellie have graciously loaned me their garage for the past two weeks and their yard this weekend so I can have a yard sale.  I've made at least 3 trips with my truck full of stuff to sell so far, and I figure I have 2 more.  I really don't want to carry anything back with me after Saturday, I'm crossing my fingers and pricing things low so I can sell it all!

I'm trying to decide what luggage to carry, I have a camping backpack that I'm considering bringing, but it is kinda big and would be easy to overpack.  I really really want to buy a smaller backpack, one rated for like 35-40 liters, but if I don't NEED it, then it's just a waste of money.  Maybe I'll do a practice packing session next week and decide once and for all if I need another backpack. 

As far as getting everything else ready, I have a packing list and a pile in the corner of my closet of things to go.  Bill gave me a great Swiss Army knife (the Explorer) as a going-away present that's already got a place of honor in my luggage. 

But before I go I definitely want to visit my sister in her new crib, take my nieces out shopping for a day and spend lots of time with friends and family.  I'm trying to figure out how to copy movies onto my computer and eagerly awaiting my Kindle in the mail.  Still, there's lots to do!
