Load 'em up! Move 'em out!

Yesterday, I helped my sister-in-law move out of her apartment. Today, I will be helping her move into her newly-purchased first condo. I can't lift heavy things because of my bad back so yesterday, I grabbed a bottle of cleanser and a sponge and did my favorite thing in the world: cleaned her kitchen!!! After packing up her dishes and glassware, I scrubbed the fridge and freezer, washed all shelves in the cabinets, and scoured the drip pans in the stove. I always do this. In every apartment I've lived in, every condo I've helped my mom move out of...I always end up leaving the kitchen and bathroom cleaner than it was on move-in day!

Today, I shall take on the task of unpacking her kitchen items. I love deciding where the most convenient place is for the dishes, glassware and silverware is. I've done this several times for my mom, dad and myself, of course. I've almost got it down to a science. Start with the silverware and work your way up to the dishes. Pots and pans and such are the last to go in, wherever there's room. You must take into consideration location of the dishwasher in order to assure ease of unloading practices. It's quite complicated. If I told you any more, I'd have to charge you for my knowledge!

Am I a great sister-in-law or what?!
