overwhelming

So we started the packing process last night. And just one word can describe what we went through. OVERWHELMING! We are no where near being done... the BS has just taken over everything we own. I would love to just run my hand across and just empty everything in to a trashcan... but what if we throw away something important!? Now I guess I can just think well if I haven't seen it in the 4 years we've lived at this apartment, then we should be good, right? No... there's still a bit of pack rat inside of me. So I'm going through everything. But on a good note, I'm pretty sure I've stickered more than I've kept! So that's good! It really doesn't even look like we've put a dent in this mess...

Next weekend, we are taking a bunch of stuff to Trader's Village, a flea market-esque place in Houston. I've labeled everything really cheaply, so I'm hoping to not come back with anything. If I do - I am very tempted to just donate it all, just to be rid of the stuff forever. We are selling the big stuff on Craigslist and hopefully we can get rid of a bunch of stuff that way, too. The plan is to move everything we want to the new place and then have a moving sale, where people go into our old apartment and just look at the stuff we have to buy, which will also be advertised on Craigslist. With the money we get (if any) from selling our old life style away, a new couch will be bought! To signify a new beginning. :)

Anywho... I should get back to packing... this crap won't pack itself!

Life is too short to have too much stuff,
