For even as we speak, the first big box of my precious beanies are being put up on Ebay... to be unceremoniously BOOTED to the curb {that's probly what THEY think anyway... and who could blame them?} for through NO fault of their own, The Time Has Come, The Walrus Said. {if you're old, you'll get that

to talk of many things
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and huge insane collections of beanie babies!

YIPEEEE !!!!

I love that you quoted that!

[wickedsuzi]

And truthfully.... it's a bit how I feel. After all... I tricked them into coming home with me all those years ago. I waited in lines sometimes for hours to acquire them.... what beanie in her right mind would have thought that after all THAT.. I would so callously desert them?

At least, I didn't EAT them.

Dearest Suzi, we know how you feel. Before moving we whittled our beanie collection down to a very select few, mostly holiday beanies and the ones we spent a ridiculous amount on. And, as you know, they are not selling for anywhere NEAR what we paid for them. I remember the insanity so well - the auctions, standing in line in the SNOW for heaven's sake, the fights in the stores and in the lines. Calling my co-worker's on my cell phone and telling them where the beanies were so they could tear out of the office and into their cars. Ah, those were the days.

I know that it's hard, but I also know that you had to do it. And the beanies will understand, really they will. They will be LOVED in their new homes.

[wickedsuzi]

Do you REALLY think they will E.T. ????? Do you have a good feeling?? I worry for them and as INSANE as it sounds... I truly love each and every one of them!
I always felt they had little personalities!

I know... I'm silly!

Thanks for making me feel better though!!!!

[huskyone]

I do. I picture them living in their new homes being admired and loved by children and by collectors. After all, anyone buying them now are truly beanie lovers!

[wickedsuzi]

Ok then, I will keep visualizing that too and hopefully the strength of my desire will make it so!!

Hugz to you!

I know its difficult,but it is time. ANd I am that proud of you for doing it!!

[wickedsuzi]

Thanks Ash....

I'm certain that I deserve a card in the mail {one of the VERY special ones you make} to help me get over it!

adulthood sucks!

[wickedsuzi]

I know. I never wanted to "grow up"

I knew you'd understand!! I still see the little kid in you even though you're solid and together and all that! I love seeing it in my friends!

Hugz!
