Paring it down means throwing out the 10year old pasta

So, I am paring it all down.  Trying to keep only what really really matters in my life.  But they were sooo cute in that jar.  A wake up call when I realized I found these adorable little artichoke and garlic shaped pastas in 1995.  Ok.  That is more than 10 years.  But I ran my fingers through them one more time in the waste basket, thinking...gee...maybe I can glue them to something and make a cute kitchen picture.  Ok.  out they go.  How do I throw a lot of  "stuff" away without throwing away parts of me, that is the test.

We're going through the same thing. .. getting rid of what we don't need or love a lot. I keep reminding myself that I am not my stuff and that if I haven't reread all those books by now, I probably won't.

When are you moving?

Not till the mobile sells. It goes up on tuesday. Who knows. But I am retiring December 31. If it sells early, I'll move to a motel or something.
