We'll hopefully never see something like that again in our lifetime, and the entire newspaper was coverage of September 11th.jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899230553694156798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861659577551762377.post-62861913561165643222009-03-28T13:18:00.000-04:002009-03-28T13:18:00.000-04:00Good for ya!Gee.

For the past year I've been getting rid of things, and it feels so great. Anything I feel I can't part with I scrapbook, because really, if something is sitting in a box or getting covered with dust, is it really a memory that you're cherishing? No, might as well toss it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861659577551762377.post-18488502068496424112009-03-27T08:48:00.000-04:002009-03-27T08:48:00.000-04:00You are definitely right about this.You are definitely right about this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936031675267577599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861659577551762377.post-27486936477016565692009-03-27T05:13:00.000-04:002009-03-27T05:13:00.000-04:00My husband.Just kidding - he's glorious.I still ha...My husband.<BR/><BR/>Just kidding - he's glorious.<BR/><BR/>I still have boxes, never unpacked, from my move here last July. they would fall under the category of 'things that are useless to me, but I will not get rid of'.<BR/><BR/>It's a very large category.Muppet Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468526883633775085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861659577551762377.post-16475208841259192192009-03-27T00:30:00.000-04:002009-03-27T00:30:00.000-04:00I'm a huge pack rat too.
