Stacks and Stacks

This is moving week! The hubby and I are in the midst of packing all of our belongings. Well, I'm the one doing all the packing and the hubby's friends will do the actual lifting, which is fine with me.

It is amazing how much stuff two so-called minimalists can hoard. Bag upon bag filled with junk heading to the dumpster. Despite all the annoyances associated with moving, I consider the packing and trashing of crap (err, stuff) to be a sort of psychological cleansing. I am forced to deal with my attachment to the stuff by making the decision to trash or pack. That would be an excellent name for a reality/game show “Trash or Pack” where the contestant scores points by how much stuff is discarded.
