I miss you! I'm moving this week, but reall...aww... I miss you! I'm moving this week, but really want to talk (catch up etc) so as soon as things calm down a little with work and life, I am going to talk your ear off for a good hour or so. k? Good job with chucking stuff out and ww. It feels so good when you know your eating habits are healthy.<BR/>*One great big hug*Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585571801638130773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27338976.post-1150129902085664702006-06-12T09:31:00.000-07:002006-06-12T09:31:00.000-07:00I still have stuffed animals from my childhood... ...I still have stuffed animals from my childhood... sad really. I hear you on the purging = nostalgia, I am the same way. Every time I unpack the baby clothes I've saved I get very nostalgic. I have this whole rubbermaid filled with wee sleepers and dresses and shoes. I had to keep the shoes. They are so wee. Its silly cuz I'm not having another baby but yet I persist. I also have this cookie monster dress that I wore when I was three that was my favorite dress... I don't remember the dress, I just remember all the stories about how the dress was my favorite. it does feel good to purge and once its gone I think we don't actually miss it. Do you ever watch that show "neat" with Helen Butligeig or whatever her name is? SHe is an organizer who thinks she's a psychiatrist... anyways, she has theories about clutter. quite fascinating really.Magnificent Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527247758901238724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27338976.post-1150092440611593782006-06-11T23:07:00.000-07:002006-06-11T23:07:00.000-07:00Ya...compared to other couples our age we know...I...Ya...compared to other couples our age we know...I think we have quite a bit more "stuff" - Daryl is a pack rat and I am a nester/packrat, so we accumulate easily. Haven't let go of all the pre-adult life stuff yet. Still have stuffed animals (and LAVA lamps!) from highschool days. So that will ALL go. It feels good! Maybe the purging makes me nostalgic?!?T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05874293899741047770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27338976.post-1150091027309732842006-06-11T22:43:00.000-07:002006-06-11T22:43:00.000-07:00I have been ferociously unpacking yet more boxes. ...I have been ferociously unpacking yet more boxes. In my office alone is enough stuff for an entire family. I turned to Justin and said it is astonishing that 2 individuals can accumulate so much CRAP. <BR/><BR/>Double Double has this great link to some photographer who took photos of families all around the world with all of their good piled up in front of their house/dwelling. Families in Africa with a few pots and other necessities... familes other places that escape me and then a North American Family and there stuff which stretched into the horizon....<BR/><BR/>granted you won't be that bad yet, you don't have too much stuff (although a lava lamp?! I laughed at that one! is it next to your toe socks??)<BR/><BR/>Purging is a good thing :-) I purged yet again today and wondered why did I move this stuff?Magnificent Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527247758901238724noreply@blogger.com
