...declarations of worthlessness...

So...
...we're moving...
Yup, I wrote it, therefore it must be true!
And let me tell you, this whole pack up your life in a box and go thing was much easier before the invention of mister man!
Our house is so full of stuff...good stuff, bad stuff, everything in between. And now I actually have to take hands-on ownership of said stuff and decide if it's worthwhile or not?!?
I'm thoroughly overwhelmed by the work I have created for myself in making this decision. The planning, the picking, the packing... Argh!!!!!
And the lists...oh my...the lists...
I am, by my own admission, something of a compulsive list maker. But now it might just be getting a tad bit out of control. Every friend and acquaintance who lives nearby now has a list in his or her name...of things I may just pass on to them. And then there's the Craig's List List, the Ebay List, the drop-at-thrift-store List, the Once Upon a Child List, the return to parents' List...etc...
And that's just for objects!
That doesn't included the lists of intangibles!!!
Oh my...I think I need to make a list of all my lists so I can keep track of them.

(PS-Can't I just make things easier on myself my lighting a match and walking away? After all, they do say 'the more things you own, the more you are owned by your things'...and I'm not a fan of being owned. Facebookers and Myspacers take note...I do NOT want to owned as human pet...so stop offering to buy me!)
