begone!

by

today, i’m lightening the load.
so far, i’ve sorted through two of three shelving units and i have three boxes of books and a bag of stuffed animals to be rid of. next, i will tackle the closets and probably end up throwing out the old pc chassis i’ve had in sitting in there for the last two years “just in case” i figured out which of the motherboard or cpu was damaged and got around to fixing it.
the closets also represents the boxes of momentos i will have to go through. this will be the toughest job. what do i keep? anything? specific items? one from each era, one from each person or do i unilaterally chuck it all?
you know, i think i need a bottle of wine to go with this task. how appropriate that i have to go the l.c. to get more boxes later.
update: click for graphic examples of my accomplishment.

    YES! i told her affection has two f’s, especially when you’re dealing with me.
    um, where are these books going? if there’s no claim on them yet, can i take a look? i’d give them a good home.

    the tigger came from the first jason, actually. it’s hard to get rid of because it’s one of my only “romantic gesture” stories.

    Is that the Satanic Verses there, too?
    Oh… and how come the birthday card I sent you isn’t on your bulletin board? :p

    yes, that’s the satanic verses. i’ve been trying to read it for several years but i just can’t get into it no matter how hard i try.
    the birthday cards have all been put away as of last week. two weeks is the limit for birthday card displays, dontcha know?
