It's a Sin

It's no secret I've moved. A lot.

Let's see.....

I was married for 11 years. We lived in 6 houses in 11 years. Not toooo bad.

Oh, and I left him 2x in that period - so there's a total of 10 moves in 11 years. Still - there are some that have me beat in that department.

Then....I got divorced. Moved to an apartment just outside of Chicago. Got transfered to Tampa 4 months later. Moved into a little house in St. Pete. 2 months later moved to an apartment in Bradenton. Stayed there 2 years - and moved to Orlando for a job. They shipped me (long term temporary) to Chicago. I hated it, quit and went back to Floria. Lived with Cuz and some friends for a while until I bought my condo. Lived there (while remodeling) for 3 years. Moved to Tampa. Got transfered with my job and moved to Orlando. Then it was the Postage Stamp house, then The Little Blue Cracker House.

So - I've got a bit of moving experience behind me.

I've also got a ton of shit. Oh, I've pared down A LOT since Orlando. But still.

And through all but 2 of the moves since my divorce, Cuz has been there to help me. She can tell you EVERYTHING I own. Seriously. She called 2 weeks ago and wanted to know if I'd bought anything new cause she made a list to figure out what size truck we needed to get. She had everything listed. It was kinda scary.

But what she didn't count on was the quantity of some items I have.

I'm talkin' about the hangers.

I hate wire hangers. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. So I have those nice pastic hangers - plain, with clips for pants and skirts and also hooks for those sleevless tops (so they don't keep slippin' off).

I have also, always had more clothes than some retail stores. I've gotten rid of a lot. Seriously - I would say that in the past week I've cut my wardrobe in half. At least.

Every time Mama would come and visit she would buy more hangers. I truly had a hanger for every item of clothing I owned. (well except jammies and other unmentionables.)

We sent 40 home with TNT the other day.

We figure, right now -- we have at least 2000 still here.

I'm thinkin' for the yard sale "you get a dozen hangers with every purchase".

I have got to get rid of them - if I don't I might buy more clothes to use them up.

It's a sin. I swear I know it is. But I just can't help myself.
