Unpacking Woes

[yolen]

When 2 packrat bookworms marry, it makes for interesting adventures in unpacking. So much of our stuff is still in boxes. I just opened up a box and recoiled at how many damn pairs of shoes I have. Well, it's not a crazy number of shoes, but the problem is where to put them all! And where the eff will I put all of my decorative tchotckes, and all of my books...fings is the dominant book owner around here and most of the shelving units are already taken and shit, there's still more books waiting for me at my parent's house! Also, I'm utterly daunted by looking into the boxes marked "Miscellaneous" from the last frantic night of packing up fings' apt before he moved to the condo. It will be a marvel to behold what those boxes contain, and a mystery where it will all go. And the guest bedroom is exploding with "stuff". And we need a sofa (and a ride to IKEA to get one!), and a new dining room set. Ack. Like I said, interesting adventures :P.

GAH, I really, really hope that we get everything done within a couple of months. We know for sure that certain things (like cds, for instance) will be going into boxes and into the storage closet in the basement. There are also 3 large cubby holes over the all of the closets that will be useful for storage.

The sad thing about the books is...my husband already did a book purge sometime last year, and got rid of about 2 milk crates worth of stuff. Everything I have here are either books that I know I am keeping or books that I've no read. The unread books will get purged as I read them, some will be for keeps, I'm sure many will be given away. I absolutely have to purge books from the boxes at my parent's house, but I still need to have them moved here. That's not happening until I get more of the stuff that's actually here unpacked. Oy vey!!

Thanks for the encouragement :).
