One More Causality

In addition to our broken wine glasses, we had one other minor disaster: our canister of Hershey's hot chocolate seems to have explored all over the box of food we packed. Most items were simply cleaned with a wet cloth, but our Wegman's Honey Bear was a mess.



Poor little honey bear.

Skillz That Killz

We've unpacked pretty much everything at this point and it seems that the only causalities were three small wine glasses. All of our framed paintings and pictures, dishes, glass lamps and tchotchkes made it in one piece. One small box with two wine glasses from the Darden School of Business at UVA and a third wine glass from an awful vineyard outside of Charlottesville were delivered in pieces. In truth, it was probably our packing job that was at fault as the box seemed to be in good shape. Considering this was the first real move for either of us, we're thrilled that all we lost was three wine glasses (all of which we actually got for free).

Our biggest concern was the dozen or so framed paintings and pictures. We bought (or acquired from our neighbors via the dumpster) real picture boxes, but did without any other protection, save bubble wrap, of which we used about 150 feet. But the contents of all four picture boxes arrived intact.

We've still got a few items left to put away and some furniture to buy, but the apartment is coming together nicely. Once we get everything in its place, we'll post updated pics.

P.S. Bonus points to the first person who can correctly ID the movie from which I stole the title to this post.
