Stuff

When we moved from Nassau, we swung through Toronto and picked up all our goods from storage. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to sort through items and brought everything. We also wanted to leave some of our items from Nassau in Toronto, but that didn't happen, so we now have everything.

As anyone who has been to visit us, you know we are a bit of packrats. Plus when you are packing you try and purge, but after a while you feel like you are throwing / giving away everything you own, so you stop after a while.

Well, to prevent those feelings, we are now trying to do a bit of purging at a time. We have found a Salvation Army to give items aways to.

But there have been some funny items that we have found in our unpacking:

• My wedding dress. Now, I'd be okay giving it away, as it's not like I'd wear it again (except maybe for Halloween), but Joe is a sentimental guy, so it's stored under the stairs right now.
• My green leather university jacket. It said 94 on one arm and "Act Sci" on the other arm in yellow letters. Remember that one? Oh, how I loved that jacket. But it went to Salvation Army yesterday. It's not like I don't still have the memories, I just now have the closet space. It still fits, but I would be a very sad looking character to still wear it. In my opinion, you only can wear university clothing in public, for up to one year after you graduate. Especially if the year is written on it.
  
• And the funniest item - we found some spare bathroom tiles from when we renovated the condo in Toronto! Yes, we have been paying for storage and paid for them to get moved to Singapore. They are now in the garbage.

I think I'll use the tiles as inspiration to keep on doing a bit of purging each week. I'll let you know of more odd items that we find.
