In every space, there is yarn, dog hair, and a CD. I can open a drawer, or a closet, or find my way to the back of a shelf, and every time at least 2 of those 3 things will be lurking.

I accumulate a lot more stuff than Tim. We have always known this. But I'm getting much better!

Reading old journals and looking through my photo boxes of memorabilia from different times in my life are the whole reason I keep those kinds of things. I love revisiting. And every time I do it, I can pare a little bit out of each box, which makes me feel productive.

The number of cassette tapes that I own is still overwhelming. No, I haven't listened to any of them since I moved here, but I can't bring myself to toss them, especially mixes that people have made me, which date back to '93. Also, all of the tapes from my radio show at Grinnell. I got rid of some, keeping the liner notes, but it just isn't the same.

I have a lot of pajama pants. Most of them are too short. Many of them are stained with paint. But I love them all! Pajama/lounge pants are such a guilty pleasure. They're always on sale at places like Target or Old Navy for less than ten bucks, and they're fun and comfy... I convinced myself to toss a few (mostly so I can buy new ones!) but I know I'm still packing too many.

The POD arrives today. I wonder how much fits in a 12' POD.
