Too Much Stuff

Two more boxesThree more boxes, an old DVD player and a DSL Modem, ready to AmVets/Good Will, and the old computer desk is gone! We're slowly making progress toward the great furniture exchange, in which my piano comes home (YAY) and we swap our full-size mattress & boxspring for Mom's guest room bed & trundle. Then we can actually invite people over to stay in our guest room.

Also... the fewer boxes and bags of stuff we have lying around, the less I worry about spiders. M had to kill a brown widow in our pantry/laundry room this week, and while I know she came in from the outside (there's a floor level vent not far from where she died), I'm now TERRIFIED of them lying in wait throughout the house.

Did you know that spiders love cardboard boxes? So Sayeth The Intarwebs. What better motivation to purge the cardboard from our living room than arachnophobia!
