long time passing.......

i've been told that it's about time for me to start blogging again. it's been several months since the previous post and i do hope this one does a bit of justice for the absence.

a lot has happened in the past couple months:

• i graduated (just waiting for the diploma to prove it)
• i got hired
• i'm moving into a house (no more apartment!!)
• we hired a new female lead counselor for this summer
  

and there's a lot left to do:

• weddings
• camp
• summer school
• the actual packing/moving thing
  
• paperwork, paperwork, paperwork, paperwork, paper......................

i've accumulated a lot of stuff in twenty-some-odd years. and just now, i'm realizing how insignificant (or important) that stuff is. it's like a slow-motion version of that old dilema: there's a fire in your house and you only have time to rescue three items.......

what am i going to bring?

what are those necessities that i just can't leave behind? what are those things that won't annoy my future roommates because they "take up too much space?" which of these items is most usefull? could this have a purpose in my future classroom? is there enough space in my car for this?

i spend so much time on these questions and then....when i've had it up to here with all the stress......i just have to laugh. these luxuries that i've treasured for so long aren't making my life any more luxurious than it was before.

it's all so silly and obvious.........i've heard this stuff about clutter a million times......

and yet here i am......an "educated person" and i still have to purge.....
