Things are getting kinda tense in Tammi's World right now. Time is running out. I am waiting to hear back about an opportunity that fell in my lap last week - and the funny thing is they are in more of a hurry than *I* am. I'll know something by Friday.
Meanwhile - I'm packing. Well, actually, I'm purging. I took a bunch of stuff to Mama Vi's for her to sell in the garage sale next week. I'm putting stuff aside for Good Will and then there's a bunch of stuff thats just going to the curb.
It's kind of funny. I'm a very sentimental girl. Seriously - I have a story/memory that goes with EVERYTHING I own. And, while not a pack rat per say, I got me some stuff. Lots-o-stuff.
But as sentimental as I am, I'm gettin' rid of quite a bit. Things I never thought I'd let go. But I know - I'll never have a 2,800 (oops to many zero's that first draft!) sq ft house with 4 bedrooms/3 baths again. Mainly because I don't want one. I'm really liking the fact that my home is cozy. I love the fact that it takes next to no time to clean. I've adjusted. I've adjusted very well.
So I don't need all this stuff. I'm even - gasp - getting rid of many of my kitchen gadgets. I know - I can't believe it either. But, I've done more cooking and entertaining this past year than I have in the past 10 years. If I didn't need/use it this year, I never will. It's outta here.
The majority of stuff I took to Mama's was clothes and candles. Yes, you read that right - Me. Tammi. Got rid of kitchen gadgets, clothes and candles. It's a real possiblity I may need therapy when this is all done.
Purging. Cleaning. Packing. Waiting.
Waiting to find out if I go or if I stay.
Saying my good-byes. Just in case.
That's how my week is shaping up. What about y'all????
UPDATE 9:30am: My interview is tomorrow afternoon!! Holy Shit. Now I've got to go through the clothes I've packed and find a suite that fits, unpack the paperwork I've packed to find my "brag book" and study up on the current consumer trends for this product line. Oh - and stop my head from spinning!!!!

Isn't purging just so liberating? Maybe by the time you leave, you'll only need a backpack.
Holy Cow! Good Luck!!! :)
