The house hunting has begun.
We have 6-8 possibilites on the list for the agent to show us this afternoon – and a few open houses to attend tomorrow.
While I’m not excited about the prospect of going through my stuff and packing up – it’s a great way to weed out what really needs to get tossed in the garbage and what’s worth saving.
I have several old pieces of furniture that have seen better days. But each one belonged to a cherished grandmother – one peice from each one – maternal and paternal. How could I ever think of parting with one of them? Well Hubby thinks I should. Men 
I do agree it’s time to toss the clothes that no one has worn in years into the GoodWill bin. I do freely admit to being a pack-rat, so I guess it really is time to sit myself down and learn it’s okay to part with old magazines and papers. We got a shredder for Christmas – maybe it’s time I learned how to use it?
Books.
No here’s a can of worms I’m not excited about opening up. Hubby wants me donate to the library – I’m convinced being my own library is the better way to go. As a writer, I love to read. I’ve got lots of books. I buy more books all the time. I cannot – I repeat – I cannot part with most of these books.
I see trouble ahead…

In my house, if it’s a book, it stays. Period. LOL. My hubby isn’t too thrilled about it, but he doesn’t bother to fight me. I might bring up the duck decoy infestation in our house.

I love Hazelnut Cream! I hate moving!!! But my hubby knows now that if he wants to keep his stuff…I keep mine. Everything else is a compromise. My kids are absolutely spoiled though. Good luck on the house hunting.

Oh dear… He wants you to get rid of books?
I DO see trouble ahead.
Actually, I get rid of books frequently–but I swap them for MORE books at the used books store in my town. LOL!
Good luck with the house hunt. Don’t get frustrated. You’ll find your “dream” house soon enough.
