My Miscellaneous Life

So I haven't had much to blog about lately, because my life gets pretty boring sometimes. Not that I don't stay busy, but the busy stuff is boring. I can't figure out how to spin "moving at the end of the month" into something you'd actually be entertained by when reading. So I give up and here you go:




We are moving at the end of the month, and I don't have the guts to start packing yet. It would mean I would have to inventory things in my life, and decide what crap is staying and what crap....is just crap...that needs thrown out! It's my least favorite part of moving, even if it suits my neurosis of unattachment to inanimate objects (unlike my husband who saves everything...and I mean everything...an empty cigarette pack? there's like 3 on one of our tables right now. Throw them out when they are EMPTY...dearest). I like unpacking, because it allows me the chance to organize things into the best place possible in the new room (control freak?). The actual moving isn't bad...I get to break a real sweat, and feel like I did something useful...plus the burden of lifting large, heavy objects will mostly be placed on my wonderful husband. This move is also compounded with having to organize and store my mother's belongings, since we are moving into her house. So I will have to suffer through the packing process twice, but at least with hers I'm not obligated to take stock of the objects and decide "keep or toss"...it's all keep (the glass is half full).



In other news, I gave into peer pressure and joined Facebook. What can I say? My will power is only so strong.
