Selling My Soul

Sep 24, 2008 22:47

The moving preparations are many, and daunting, and overwhelming. My first day is one week from now (!!!) so I'm leaving on Monday, and handing the packing and cleaning yet to be done to my husband. Then it'll be another month of separation, as he gathers up our life here, and I look for a new place to live there, and we meet back up at Halloween ( Read more... )

Really? Awesome!!! I have some stuff to take to Half-Price Books, and whatever is left will be donated to the Library, and I need to get a few things at Target, and so I think you totally want to go on some errands with me this weekend.

When I moved last year after 7 years in the same place, I threw out SO much stuff. It was liberating.

I used to do a yearly purge of crap, and it was glorious. And then I moved in with The Boy, and the purge is really hard to do when someone is standing over your shoulder like, "NOOO! Don't throw that away!!! THINK OF THE MEMORIES!!1!1!"

The Big Move is a good excuse to just sort of grunt, roll my eyes, and remind him to Get Over It, though. (And also to just throw stuff out when he's not at home to watch.)

I love love love the moving purge! And I have your brother to thank entirely for this love. I was taught to keep everything, and he has slowly turned me around. Now it's me going, "Seriously? Do we need this?"

Your father has a fit every time I try to throw something away, though.

Oh, yeah, he is physically incapable of getting rid of any media, even if it is crappy media that he wouldn't be caught dead reading/watching/listening to. So delightfully neurotic.
