A shady spot on the web for me to ponder whatever I wish to ponder...

Ain't gonna move no more, no more...

Okay...so that title is definitely dramatic and a lie but I like the way it sounds. Here's something to ponder a bit:

Every time I move I get rid of lots of things. I donate clothing and other items to charity, have a yard sale, and trash what is no longer useful. Why is it then that the next time I move I have to do this all over again!

I'm thinking there must be a mathematical formula something like this:

aT(5 J - 3 J) = 2J41 when J = junk, T = time, a = any amount

(2J41 is the only way I could manage to portray 2 times J to the power of 41)

For those who do not know, my husband and I have decided to downsize for awhile. We will be moving into a fifth-wheel trailer. It is a 38 footer from EnduraMax Wide Open. This requires that we 1) get rid of lots of stuff and 2) find storage units for the rest. Let's just say that we have been stirring up a lot of dust at home getting ready for the move! Eventually we hope to buy some land and build a house that will be less susceptible to influences of termites and shifting of the ground, in other words it will have a metal frame, be pretreated for termites, and have foundation stabilizing technology in place...oh...and be in the country of course. For the time being we will be living in Parker, Texas, which is a country town surrounded by Plano, Allen, Lucas, Wylie, and Murphy. The population in 2000 was a mere 1379 but has risen considerably due to a couple of subdivisions. Remember the Southfork Ranch from the television show Dallas? We will be living across the street from there...high class neighborhood...
