Ah, Just Like Old Times!
Jun. 30th, 2008 12:03 pmI am in the process of dividing up my household goods, in order to pack what I need to take down to our place in Chicago while still leaving something here for the DS and for us when we come up for regular visits to the old homestead. It totally reminds me of how things used to be back in Pakistan!
We had two households there, as well -- one on the plains (in the heat) where we spent the majority of the year, and one in the mountains (where it was cool) where we spent our summers and school breaks. We had to have duplicates of everything -- every pot, pan, plate, spoon, and cooking utensil. I am discovering I don't quite have what it takes just yet to set up two homes, but we'll get there eventually. I shall have to find a Salvation Army or Goodwill store and pick up a few items. ;-)
DH signed the lease on our wee condo apartment last week, and so we are getting organized to move in -- at least partially -- come Wednesday. We probably will only be able to manage a few nights there, since we won't have a real bed. It will be glorified camping in a way! But at least will have AC and a dishwasher, even if we have to sleep on an air mattress. ;-)
Next, I have to decide which LotR books and items are going to go and which will stay. There will have to be at least one Boromir action figure to grace my shelf! :-D
