I have been reorganizing the whole house to avoid dealing with my books. Do you want to come and cull through my books next?
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I could do it via skype with you in pieces if that would help. I did that with meara.
I don't re-read much so I tend to tell people to be brutal with getting rid of almost everything you have already read, especially if you use libraries or have an e-reader.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We are girding our loins for a huge cull. YOOOOGE. I mentioned that we are thinking pretty seriously about moving to the Detroit area, right? The DH can do his job there and houses are so cheap that I can do substitute teaching, which really want to do. We are going to get rid of almost all our furniture and most of our books and anything else we don't LOVE. Even though Winter is brutal and I don't have friends in Detroit, I have lots of way cool family in Chicago, so weekend visits would be happening.
Right now we are spending time walking around and randomly picking things up, going "Take this electric mixer?" "Nah." "What about this?" "Yeah, the bowling pins have to come."

I'll keep that in mind.

Every book I look at I think, ltc might want to read this one day. Mostly I just need to tidy things up so she doesn't get buried under a book avalanche. Even if that means storing some downstairs while I decide about them.

Right now we're in North Hollywood. So it's be a change, but I was a kid in Milwaukee and DH went to High School in Rockford, IL, so we are down with the Midwest vibe.

We haven't told family or anyone yet, so please keep it locked down in the hivemind.

AUUUHHHG. Grabbed shoe polishing rag from atop the basement stairs and inexplicably, it was full of maggots. Bleaching the fuck out of it. And I don't even have a fly problem. Fuck this humidity
