Hey there! Congratulations on being here for this historical occasion, as I finally join my own generation in the world of blogging!
As many of you know, Jay and I are gearing up to move back to France, and part of that process is to sort and organize our cumulative 55 years of accumulated stuff!
This is what I started with! Overwhelming!
I thought I'd share some of the fun things that I've found. It's rather embarrassing, but I had a whole stack of Christmas cards from years ago! Here are two of my favorites:
I was Thailan's best locker partner ever!
This is a really sweet letter and reading it just takes me right back to seventh grade! Sigh. I really love how all of the exclamations points are made with x's instead of dots. very cute!
So, this box of old Christmas cards ended up in the trash, along with my worst art project ever, which I am secure enough to show here on my very first blog. I'll probably regret it!
This was a project where we had to illustrate a poem about a guy who was burning old love letters...this assignment just didn't work out very well for me, as you can see.
I'm feeling pretty good about my progress in sorting, and I have to tell you it feels SO good to get rid of so much stuff that we really didn't need!

Deb, you are facing my worst nightmare! I HATE sorting through things, particularly paperwork. (Although unpacking after camping is almost as bad. All that miscellaneous stuff to be dealt with.) I know I've got a few Avon boxes full of odd papers and photos and childhood art projects. Although MY art projects are not nearly as artistic as yours was.
By the way, what were you doing up blogging at 1:09 am? You may be joining your generation by blogging, but don't join your generation by sitting in front of the computer like a zombie all hours of the day and night! (Oops--now I sound like Mom. Sorry.)
Wow, if that's your worst art project ever...
You should see my BEST [not].
Welcome to the Blogosphere.
yeah, so what in the world were we doing sending x-mas cards in 7th grade??? that's ridiculous...atleast we wrote actual letters (sniff). you are so much braver than i am i think i have every single peice of mail that i have ever recieved. i think it is the fear of going through it all and not knowing what to do with it. i can't throw out all the notes i passed in 6th grade can I???? that painting was pretty crap, but i thought it was very touching...you should have kept it as a bench mark to measure your future mastery by. even Picasso's crap is worth millions now. so you can send any other crappy artwork to me and i will keep it with the rest of the stuff i will never have time to sort through. someday our kids will make fun of us together.
OMG!!! Can't believe a vain google search of my name would lead me to my old Xmas card to an old friend. Yes, you were the best locker buddy ever! hahaha...Funny how life works! Let me know how things are going for you Debbie! Hmm...I don't know how to contact you without leaving my personal email and info on here...
Hi Thailan,
hey---email me! I'd love to catch up with you!!!
