I have a huge old wooden desk. That thing is a beast its so big. I really miss that thing. We will be cleaning out that unit in the next month or so and I'm trying to talk my daughter into storing it in her garage. I really hate to part with it.Minthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944854576287964398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-91506058227752619332009-08-29T11:08:50.112-05:002009-08-29T11:08:50.112-05:00It's funny to me to study different people and...It's funny to me to study different people and their 'stuff' habits. I'm far from a pack rat, although my husband is to the extreme. We recently sold both our home and my mom's and the three of us moved into one house. Needless to say, we've all gotten rid of tons and most of it I'll never miss. Well, two of us have. We won't talk about DH.<br /><br />The fun thing about moving Mom in with us was unpacking all her stuff. The cookie jar that I've snitched homemade cookies out of all my life is sitting on the cabinet. A little marble top table that always was beside my dad's chair is sitting between the recliners. Two tiny ceramic lop eared bunnies are mixed in with all the stuff on my kitchen hutch. It's like melding my childhood and adulthood in one home.<br /><br />Truthfully about the only thing I miss is a little quiet time and my hot tub. Boy do I miss the hot tub.Pamela Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673215467505231212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-15375052294503929492009-08-29T09:37:04.358-05:002009-08-29T09:37:04.358-05:00TBR piles are the best, Lynn!

They tend to see memories and meaning in the littlest of things--a book of matches from a certain restaurant, a napkin from a special night out, etc. I think the memories those little "nothings" create are priceless.Laura Bradfordhttp://www.laurabradford.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-66543778497815117842009-08-29T09:15:18.552-05:002009-08-29T09:15:18.552-05:00I lost a lot of stuff when we moved from Idaho to ...I lost a lot of stuff when we moved from Idaho to Illinois. And, because it's gone, I've put it in higher esteem than it probably deserves. Especially since I'm a PACK RAT. <br /><br />But the things that are important to me I've learned to surround myself with again.
