1) It is impossible to unpack completely until you have unpacked completely, setting up a lovely little paradox that fills your life forevermore with cardboard.
2) There is no such thing as 'enough counter space in the kitchen.'
3) Dishwashers are an amazing invention, and I avoided them for far too long.
4) Having the living room windows open onto Route 60 probably means that I shouldn't walk around naked downstairs.
5) We will probably never learn what the second light switch in the sun room does.
6) Hardwood floors + open floor plan + 2 slightly crazy cats = hours of skidding, romping fun.
7) Not all basements are scary dungeons of cobwebby, dank doom.
8) Electricians are mythical beasts that many have heard of, and some claim to have encountered, but that we will never actually see face-to-face in this lifetime.
9) The same holds true for plumbers.
10) On the other hand, we have actual faeries living here. Honest. Everything that had gone missing in the process of moving returned (with the exception of a $4 litterbox scraper) within 12 hours of my setting out a bowl of milk and bread for the Good Neighbors.
11) I have no idea what the faeries want with a litterbox scraper, nor do I think I want to know. But they're welcome to it.
12) Closet-debris will apparently expand to always take up more space than you have available, even if you're moving from a house with one closet to a house with four or more closets.
13) A house with no artwork on its walls looks vaguely eerie and unfinished, even if all of the furniture is in place and the shelves are filled with knick-knacks.
