More Than Just a Blonde

It has finally happened.  I am unpacking all my boxes from college.  I moved back home in Jan. ‘08 and until last week, left everything in the bags, boxes, storage bins because 1) it was easier and 2) because I didn’t want to accept the fact that I moved home after college. 

This is a 4 step process: Room, Closet, Bathroom and finally Office.  My mom luckily is helping me out and we are done with the room and closet.  Bathroom will be finished by Tuesday and Office by Friday.  So far I have donated 11 trash bags full of stuff to Goodwill. 

I have found out though that I am a hoarder of sorts.  I don’t like to throw things out, either it has a great memory attached to it, I think it will be worth money or I think it will motivate me to lose weight.  My mom is helping with this part with her “Erica, you won’t fit into this again and do you even use this?”  The latest casualty was my 3 Gameboys.  That was a sad one to let go, but to be honest when I put a game in, I couldn’t remember how to play it. 

I know I won’t live at home forever, fingers crossed, but I want to move to my own place soon.  I just keep accumilating things to decorate with and ideas of what I want different rooms to look like.  I just can’t justify having my own place to literally just sleep at.  Why would I pay up to 1000 dollars a month to have a bed?  I work crazy hours, so this just makes sense right now.  If I do ever leave CR of course I would move out, but I haven’t crossed that road….yet
