    Decided to take a quick break from packing. After packing so much stuff, I never realized how many of these items I owned and are all over the place:

    1) Screwdrivers (regular, special ones for computers, etc)
    2) Remote controls (old, new, non-working,etc)
    3) Batteries (mostly AA's)
    4) Guitar picks (any guitar player can relate to this one)

    So, what stuff around your house would surprise you by how many you had of them if you started to actually pack it?

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend...too nice a day to be packing
