swanduchess is so very right. We have so much clutter because there are four or five of us in our house, not two! Someday, I'll live someplace where Caitlin can have her own closet: that would help a lot.

That Duchess makes a good point, but I think dlevey makes it better. Some people just attract material culture stuff.

Consider my home - it is not all that much an SCA home any more. Robin has lots of clothing, I have woodworking, we have tons of cooking and Robin has a positive drug-addiction to china (which I encourage). Nevermind the cabinet full of "media", and the as-yet-not-unpacked 40 or so cartons of books that go with the 10 or so we did unpack. :-)

I'll say this - while we still have unpacking to do (garage and basement at this point, the house itself is empty and organized), we will maintain good organization and reasonable contents.

But compare this home (and it is large) with the amount of stuff that went into our temporary apartment. We currently have half of what we used to. Literally half, if not less. And we are still embarassingly full-up with material goods that relate to interests from cooking, reading, movies, sewing, quilting, embroidery, woodworking, and so forth.

I suspect the real problem is that we don't throw stuff away.

(And poor dlevey is my victim in this. All the home-brewing stuff I used to have, he now has. I gave/lent it all to him... I'm kinda evil that way.)

Yeah, but I'm hoping you'll be able to get the benefit of it soon. The schedule is laid out, and I've started on this season's brews. The barleywine is fermenting nicely, and I hope to do the imperial stout before Passover.

I will benefit best when: 1, my friend is happy and 2, I get to see him.

I hope to see you guys soon.

I hope so. Summer seems to be the best possibility. No school to get in the way, even if we get a sitter.
