this is the stuff that goes into our home.

and it’s minus 2 giant suitcases, 2 big, 3 medium, 4 duffel bags, 3 average sized cartons and 4 beachbags filled with random paraphernalia. all of which is lying at my very open hearted parents home, who are basically thrilled with the entertainment we are providing. schumi the turtle is missing from the documentation as well.

a little info on schumi…husband got her 4 or 5 years ago. she was a ‘gift’. he assumed that she was a he. i still don’t understand why. one can’t make out their sex till they are a about 2yrs. that’s fact. but why assume, male? so, till about a year a go, schumi was a boy. can you imagine husband’s disappointment, when he blossomed into a girl.

jax the cat, as you can see, had a field day.

sorry for the deviation. back to the grumblings!

how did we manage to collect so much so much stuff??

the plastic wrapped stuff does also include furniture, out of which the bed, dinning table and 4 chairs are already in the new nest.

so many things! why do we do this? what happened to minimal living? why don’t we have the ability to get rid of things, why do we collect so much, why are we so attached to things that hold strong memories? what happened to our brilliant idea of having a garage sale…when did we shoot it down??? and why didnt we ‘spring’ clean before calling agarwal packers.

i’m going to weep profusely when unpacking. i predict it and it’s all husbands doing!

have to blame someone other than myself. i’m sure you understand?
