Moving Frenzy
E & I moved to a downtown condo over the weekend, and I was amazed at how much stuff we still have, despite the recent huge purge before our relocation from Madison.
Where does this stuff come from?
Why are we so attached to it?
What do our possessions say about each of us as individuals or about us as a couple, an entity?
And what does our manner of organizing and decorating reveal about us?
I love looking at other people's houses and seeing their stuff. What have they chosen to display? And what have they hidden away? Looking at objects that have priority of place can tell you so much about a person, about what they find important or interesting.
E & I are really looking forward to doing some decorating, now that we finally own our living space. The condo is great in so many ways, and the amount of space fits us perfectly, but some of the colours need to be changed as well as a few other structural elements. Some of that will have to wait for additional funding, of course, but I'm excited about doing home decorating together. All that time spent watching TLC and HGTV will finally pay off!
The only real negative about the recent move is our current lack of Internet access at home. Getting our DSL set up through SBC is certainly not a prime example of efficiency and convenience... So for the time being, I'll be trying to log on daily at the Sac Central library. Arrgh! When you're used to on-demand online access at your fingertips, it's really hard to have to schedule it in one-hour increments at a location 8 blocks away!!!
