Wow, SOOOO much stuff

I'm sitting here thinking; the last time I moved was 21 years ago, when I moved into this apartment with my brother. At that time I was 22 years old and really had nothing but the clothes on my back. I mean, I had the furniture from my childhood bedroom if I wanted it, but as I didn't know if I'd be staying out here permanently, I didn't worry about bringing anything.

Over the years I bought various pieces of furniture, and was given others. Now, the big decision: what to take and what to sell! How do you decide? Some things are really easy, like the entertainment unit (I think it'll be too big for the new place), but what about the futon in the 2nd room? Do I need it? Ok, I bought an apartment with 2 bedrooms, but now I have so few people visiting from out of town, maybe I should just get rid the futon, use the 2nd bedroom for my office, and buy a sofa-bed and put that in the livingroom.

I find I'm having this decision problem with almost everything....right down to all the different types of tea I have (should I take them, or toss them out..some are pretty old).

So far I've packed 31 boxes, lots more to go. Sometimes I wish I could just throw everything into boxes and take them to the Salvation Army or SPCA Thrift store, then just buy all new stuff...but since I really don't like shopping much...I'll probably just keep everything.

Sound wishy-washy??? Yeah, I know!

On a happier note, Sierra is sweet, beautiful, and probably the most amazing dog I could ever have hoped for. I can't wait to see her sleeping on the new patio, or in front of the fireplace.

Soon, soon
