moving

It's official... we're selling most of what we own after 20 years on the East Coast and moving to the Southwest.

I was so careful to select a mate with the desire to live on East Coast, who knew he'd change his mind after living here 20 years?

I'm not sure this East Coast girl will fit in well in the Southwest, but if I don't try, I'll never know.

I'm trying to figure out just how much of my winter wardrobe to move as we try to move as little as possible. I've always had four seasons worth of clothes- even as a child, and can't comtemplate not needing a full season full of winter outfits. I have at least six winter coats: two full-length dress coats (brown and black, of course), two short coats (one with a hood, and one w/o), a lightweight winter coat for the almost warm days, and one ratty one for dog walking. That doesn't even begin to count the sweaters, turtlenecks, cords, leggings, hats, mittens, scarfs.

Last year, it snowed three days from Dec - Feb where we're moving to and the average temp was 40 degrees. It rained six days straight and the total rainfall for the six days... less than 2 inches...

I was freaking out yesterday... "Do they even sell ANIME there?"
We finally did a web search and found a full-service anime store with manga... "Whew!" I guess I can move after all.

Internet... anime... what else does this girl need?
