Jul. 25, 2009 - How is this even possible?
I swear, I was gone one hour. ONE. A quick trip for a dental check up. Upon my return, I discover a huge air-hockey table in the garage. This has happened at various other times with a large, electronic, indoor basketball game and a large kids' train table. Both of these, mind you, largely unused and to my mind, necessary and no-brainer, must-leave-the-basement-in-order-to-make-room-for-the-new-air hockey-table, items. The family doesn't seem to understand the concept of "parting with" only "adding to." If one Lego toy is good, 10,000 pieces of them are better! Why have one puzzle when one can have an entire shelf full, each apparently too precious to give up to Goodwill. It's hard to be a minimalist amidst such pack-rat-ery. And guess who ends up being crab-in-chief, policing the pick up and organization of all the crud?
I really hate garage sales sometimes, particularly when the male contingent venture out to them unsupervised.
Blessings, Holly
