How to Pack After a Nice Holiday Visit:
Step 1 - On the last day of your visit sleep till noon.
Step 2 - Two hours before your parents get home rush around the house dusting and sweeping so that, when asked (in relation to your room) if you cleaned, you can answer with an honest affirmative, "Yes, I've cleaned!"
Step 3 - Make cookies to distract and disguise the stench coming from your pig-pen room.
Step 4 - Take a nice long shower to relax and focus you in preparation of your future trial.
Step 5 - Search the house for the carrion of your visit.
Step 6 - Collect the contraband you've hidden around the house in the hopes your family has forgotten it exists.
Step 7 - Contemplate whether you should take that extra bottle of honey that you've seen in their cupboard. It's not like they're going to use it anyways...
Step 8 - Raid the bathroom for vitamins.
Step 9 - Weigh the pros and cons of filching more of your sibling's clothing.
Step 10 - Move all collected items and place in a pile on top of the nest of blankets that remain on a bed that has not been made in a month.
Step 11 - Consider brushing your hair...but decide that it's too much of a distraction from cleaning and packing.
Step 12 - Consider playing the piano...but decide that it's too loud for the rest of the sleeping household.
Step 13 - Consider writing a blog about repacking for the holidays...do because you really shouldn't neglect your duty to the familial blog infrastructure.
Step 14 - Not really sure because I haven't gotten that far yet...
