Back from my hiatus!

I am currently moving out of a nice big house (that was too expensive to stay in) to a small apartment with my new husband. I HATE MOVING!

It's like a month long process. Pack everything up, move everything over, unpack everything. And you have to rearrange all your stuff to accomodate the new surroundings. Not to mention, my cat is going bezerk and he doesn't like the smaller space, or the fact that everything has changed. He is still avoiding me at all costs and will not let me pet him or hold him. I'm sure he will forgive me with do time, but i'm still worried about him.

Hubbie and I are agreeing to disagree on how to arrange things and what is important to keep and what we throw away. I'm such a pack-rat. I will hold onto something (in a box) for decades, never look at, open the box and still say to myself that I might need it one day. I don't know why, but it's just how my brain works.

"No....don't throw that muffin pan away...."

"Honey, you never use it, it just sits in here..."

"But one day I might want to make cupcakes or something."

PAUSE! Ok - you know as well as I do (somewhere in the back of my brain) that I will probably want to make cupcakes once in the next 10 years, and when I do I will not be able to find where I put that muffin pan - so I wouldn't be able to make cupcakes anyway and end up keeping this muffin pan for no apparent reason other than to satisfy my mind that I will have it if I may ever need it, but let's keep that between us! OK!

"You haven't made cupcakes since your sister bought it for you"

"So, you never know. Just put it in that box and I'll stick it in storage"

At which point, hubbie lowers his shoulder, does his little sigh, and gives up trying to convince me to get rid of it. He then throws it into the box and moves on....

But hey, there is always another side.....

We have stacks, upon stacks, upon stacks, UPON STACKS....(get the point) of old, old, old bike magazines that he never looks at, never reads, or does anything else with, but hey we can't get rid of those either.
