It drives me crazy alot of the time but every time I think about moving away from the beautiful 28 acres we live on I just can't do it...not yet!!!<br><br>StacyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390135107072941772.post-60630869789063720732005-04-13T15:33:00.000-07:002005-04-13T15:33:00.000-07:00Finding one's bliss doesn't come easily gi...Finding one's bliss doesn't come easily girlie---for the location and the scenery, I'm losing approximately half my storage capacity---I'm having to downsize in a MAJOR way. Plus, w/o closets, I have to buy a dresser and armoire---not cheap at all. I'm facing $800 just to move into this place :)<br><br>BUT it'll be worth it---as I sat in my new room this morning trying to map a mental plan of how to move, I started getting pissy. I was thinking "what the hell am I doing?? This place is crap without storage!" <br><br>And then I looked out the huge windows, saw the trees outside against the blue sky and thought "Tara, shut up." :D<br><br>THere are so many ways to live in small spaces---so many ways to get creative that I think we're kinda lucky to be smooshed.... Besides, the problem is that most people want more space and when they get it, they fill it up and need more space... So, if you think about it, you have less crap in a smaller space than you could ever want. :D<br><br>Thanks for the pimp, girlie!! <br>~tara :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390135107072941772.post-5317639770067610782005-04-13T16:40:00.000-07:002005-04-13T16:40:00.000-07:00With just the 2 of us, I'm not so much "c...With just the 2 of us, I'm not so much "cramped" as......"crapped?". It's an old house with no closets to speak of. I have NO place to go with any of my stuff, and that's no good for me because I am the most unorganized person! Gracie's best friend moved at the end of last summer - to a huge house with a 2 story living room. I brough her out there for a play date last week and saw their new big screen plasma TV. >sigh< Some day.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390135107072941772.post-58644141143171753982005-04-13T17:09:00.000-07:002005-04-13T17:09:00.000-07:00Considering the money to be made on home sales in ...Considering the money to be made on home sales in Phoenix, it's a wonder any of us are still here. Of course, you have to move to Marana to find anything affordable after that (thanks, Californicators!).

Personally, the bigger the house, the more there is to clean and the bigger the eventual mess will be. It's all about clutter management and getting rid of stuff we don't need, rather than the superexpensive undertaking of moving because of our "stuff"....I'll stay in my house too and if I do move, will move smaller probably, not bigger or at the very least, same size....most new homes I see these days around here are "super sized" LOL....too big and too cold. <br><br>~ www.jerseygirljournal.com Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
