I bet you do, too. I happen to like a lot of different things…so, therefore…more stuff!

Now, if you don’t have enough stuff….this is the store for you!

We girls have a lot of stuff…hair stuff, nail stuff, skin stuff, makeup stuff, dressy stuff, casual stuff, etc. Stuff for everything we do…which is, of course, as it should be.

I didn’t even know about this…but apparently it’s true…because there is a book about it…and a blog! If I was not white, I would write my own book.

**************************************************************************
A FEW FACTS ABOUT STUFF

1. We have more stuff than we need.

2. Yes, that ‘we’ includes YOU.

3. We have stuff we don’t even know we have.

4. Stuff accumulates very easily…and very quickly!

5. No one has ever actually seen it happen, but stuff multiplies!

6. I know this is true, because it has happened to me. Upon commencing the packing process…I was surprised, shocked, and overwhelmed by the stuff that has appeared unbeknownst to me.

7. When the day comes that you realize the awful truth about your stuff…be prepared to act swiftly. You must rid yourself of the stuff with no looking back. if you hold on to it, it becomes yours. You actually begin to feel ownership of it even though it may not be yours, technically.

8 Once you feel this ownership…you’re a goner. You have crossed over. This amazing amount of stuff is yours….and now you must either find a place to display it…. or store it….or move it.

9. One of the best ways to ‘pass along’ your stuff to others, is to hold a garage sale, a yard sale, a tag sale, a moving sale or whatever you wish to call it. It seems that at these sales, other folks who like stuff actually will come to your house and take it off your hands and add it to their collection…for a very low fee…certainly not what it is worth! FYI…I’ll be having a huge MOVING MY HOUSE AND GARAGE SALE IN MY YARD very soon! It will all be tagged. Great stuff!!!

10. All these facts are true. I know from experience. I am living it even as we speak…or read and write. And I will be moving it in a few hours.

“HOME…a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff!”
George Carlin

Yes, I started moving today!

Yes, it was exciting!

Yes, I made pictures!

Yes, we got a lot accomplished!

Yes, we will start again in the morning!

Yes…Yes…YES, I am exhausted!

Yes, I’ll tell you about it soon…but not tonight!

Today the temps have been in the mid 70’s, in fact, most of the kids wore shorts to school. So snow is the fartherest thing from our minds! However, the jokes are funny, anyway!

_________________________________________________________________

The final clean-up of the Creek house was taking place as I left there this afternoon. My new friend, Stacy, has finished up her painting expertise…she did an amazing job! I will show you some pics soon.

Tomorrow…we start with the boxes. IT”S HERE!

The day started off wrong. I think it is just a cruel joke by the’ powers that be ‘when all the electricity goes out in your house just as you step into the shower! I mean, you are partially wet, and can’t see to get a towel…so a shower in the dark seems the only way to go. Well, showering and praying, actually. Praying that you’ll have electricity by the time you get out so you can dry your hair! Prayer works! It came on just as the hot water was beginning to give out! P.S. I did not attempt to shave my legs…just so you know…

By the time I had gathered all the stuff I had to take with me today, I was waaaay behind schedule! And, to top it all off, the car was running on fumes because I was too tired to fill it up last night. So, gas station…back home to pick up food for luncheon that I forgot…out to Creek House to check on a few things…then on to work!

I have been able to kinda coast at school since the program. Gives me time to catch up on clean up and putting up the stuff I have been too busy to do for a while! Then we had our teacher luncheon after school. This is the one that was supposed to be at my house…IF I had moved in the first time I thought we were. But, that’s OK…I’m not bitter! 🙂 It’s coming soon enough!

Back to the house after the luncheon. Then to the fabric store to get burlap (I’ll explain that later)…to Office Max to buy an external hard drive. I did not even know what that was until today. I have 8 boxes of CD’s (each hold 60), and they need to be loaded onto a hard drive so that the electronic people at the house can program them into the music system. The music system that I will probably never understand how to work, but which they say is simple. Myself, I am just happy with an old boom box that has only 2 or 3 buttons. Too many things to learn for an old lady! A stop by Dairy Queen for a delicious, nutritious supper…complete with a blizzard of a dessert. Then home…and off the feet. I am not moving until 7:oo in the AM. I am not even drinking anything so I won’t have to get up to go potty!

Have a blessed tomorrow!
