Day 16 - Colorful, innit?

Sideways list of duct tape colors to boxes
In our mad dash to pack things up and move, we have realized that we are going to need help remembering which box contains what.  Since I am a poor, starving college kid, and Katie is supporting me, we decided that the best option was to go to the local liqueur stores and get free boxes from them (they always have some).  However, the problem with liqueur boxes is that they tend to be very colorful, leaving very little space to write where each box goes.  Since that writing on the boxes doesn't work, we decided to use colored duct tape (gaffer tape for my British fans) and put a little strip on every box - then we should at least remember where things go, even if we cannot remember what is in each box.  However, I am a little bit brainless sometimes and so started trying to use the tape and then promptly forgot which color meant what - so I made up this handy color chart to let me know.  I thought it was brilliant at least, and now I know what color means what room, so I can pack better now!

Till tomorrow!
