Take whatever you think of while I go gas up the truck
April 28th, 2010We’ve starting to seep in, a little bit, to this house that is not our house. It’s much more colorful. And it might almost be time to collect it all into boxes and go.
After topping off a bag of stuff for Goodwill yesterday, I went through our closet putting together outfits for the wedding festivities this weekend, and I ended up with another full bag to donate. I’m on a roll! Maybe I’ll be caught up the week after next, after we’ve gotten back from Toronto. The turnover rate of stuff entering and exiting our life, even since we unloaded the last uhaul, is astounding. Particularly because we DON’T SHOP. We know people who shop as a hobby and are constantly acquiring new and better things, and we’ve never done that in our entire adult lives. So why do I feel like we always get so much new (or newused) stuff between moves?
Week fourteen.
At this time tomorrow, we’ll be on our way to our beloved city. Friends, a wedding, music, playdates, chinatown beads (for a custom project and for my mom – I WILL control myself!), the dollarama, Tankhouse Ale… aahh! We’re coming back home next Wednesday. See you back here then :)

Um, is that the green belted sweater you’ve been wearing in that brown bag? I say you need to keep that one. : )

Haha, nope – this is an annoying, cheaply made sweater that has never fit right.

Jenn – Jess says this ALL THE TIME when people ask if Dustin is “babysitting” when she happens to be out and about sans six children. I always laugh. So true.
We’re going to watch while we eat dinner in an hour or so. Stay tuned girls :)
