One of the few perks of s l o w l y unpacking your house is getting excited about stuff you forgot you had. For over a month now we have lived in harmony without the contents of roughly 10 boxes shoved into various corners. So I finally decided it would be nice to have the orange handled scissors today instead of always using the kitchen ones. I begin to open the boxes. I swear to you it's like a freaking wedding shower all over again, with a sprinkle of Christmas. Pulling packing paper apart, flipping objects around quizzically:
Oh- my pyrex! I love my pyrex!
5 giant cookbooks! Just for me!?
Um. Ramekins. Niiiiiiiiiiiice. Distant relative sent these?
Set aside and continue digging into box.
Hrm. Diplomas I never framed.
Leave in box. Continue digging.
Envelopes! O these will come in so handy. I am so glad we have envelopes again.
Towels. Great! Everyone needs more towels.
Nail File! {sigh} How did I go so long without you?
More of my music! I had more music?
An XBOX! AND a DREAMCAST! Wow. In the same box. Awsome.Could this get any more exciting?
If you don't plan on moving any time soon, I highly recommend packing up some cool stuff and unpacking it 6 months later so you never want to buy new stuff again. But if I were you I would plant some girl scout cookies to spuce it up a notch.
