Well, I might consider it if they GAVE it to me - lol. But I hear ya. I keep telling my husband when we move (especially if we have to keep both houses) we should just stick with the little place. By doing that we will find out what we REALLY need and what we can do without because space will be so limited, including the garage. Then when we can finally sell our house up north we can make the decision whether to go bigger in TV or not. I think the only thing that will cause us to do that will be the garage and maybe an extra bedroom. We'll see. I think in a way we're fortunate to be able to do this gradually for many reasons. Surely there will be some headaches with it too but it's not like we have much of a choice. It will all work out in the end. I have literally bought next to NOTHING other than personal items since we decided 4 years ago that we were moving. I want NOTHING to do with bringing a lot of the stuff we have up here to Florida. Having 2 houses will force us to duplicate some things anyway but that means all the less we will have to move when we make it final which is fine with me! Out with the old, in with the new. I'll keep my husband though.

Anyway, today is Sunday, November 4th. I'm going to try to go to the gym this morning but not sure how productive that's going to be. My back is aching from being in bed those 2 days. I kind of forgot about that part of being sick and laying around like that, how I pay for it with my back.........ouch!
