Today we sat in the car in the driveway and ate lunch together because neither of us wanted to wake Beebs, asleep in the back seat. We had the windows rolled down and the sun was streaming in. I've been looking online for a few birthday gifts for her. I can't believe the wee Hybrid is going to be a year old next month! Insanity. I just read this. I'm so longing for the community she talks about here. It's so hard though because I simultaneously feel this constant, nagging, "Leave me alone!" sentiment that sorta gets in the way of community. We're moving at the end of May/beginning of June. And wow, that's just over 2 months away. Our landlord is going to start showing the house April 15. I'm sad but I think I'm excited too. Like Andrea mentions in her superhero journal, we're pruning here. I think a good portion of our belongings (those things we want to keep) are going to be stored out at my mom's house. I'm excited about this necessary step and being "forced" to purge. I rarely buy new clothes and that's fine as I generally hate purchasing clothes when I've got so much self-loathing for my body going on but most of my clothes are leftover from high school and college with a few loungewear items thrown in. It needs updating but that's not pressing. More pressing is this need to get rid of so much stuff we're just not using and don't need. Any cool ideas for this purge process? I need motivation to get started but I know it will feel so good. So many of my belongings have no home and just reside in varying piles around the house. Any good cause I could donate items to? Maybe I'll take some things to Once Upon a Child or something? We are getting back $300 more than we thought on our income taxes and I'm desperate to spend it on a little trip or something. See how my brain works? Must save money! Must prune and purge our belongings and save money! Ooh, look, over here, a snail! Let's take a trip! I should note for those with the "if you haven't used it in the last 12 months get rid of it" philosophy that a lot of those things we're keeping are baby things to be used with future children! (more babies!!!) One year ago.
