Reminiscing

Last night I was doing some cleaning out of the tubs of stuff that I moved here from my mom's place at least a year ago. I'm really not a hoarder, but I do like to keep those little memory laden tidbits from the years gone by. I had two tubs filled with such things and I thought maybe enough years had passed that I would be less attached to some of them. Unfortunately, no. Instead I just spent a good couple of hours reminiscing as I looked through old pictures, ticket stubs, notebooks, and quote lists. I found the "point" game sheet that we used to tack up on the inside of our dorm "pantry," and I found old letters from high school when the things that got us excited were so much simpler. There were lots and lots of notes and old tests from college classes I took and I realized how much I have forgotten already. Papers I had written for various classes; wow, I miss writing, I wasn't too bad at it. :) And tons of odds and ends from trips I've taken and places I've lived. Two conclusions I came to: 1. I am never going to get caught up on all of the scrapbooking I need to be doing. 2. I should maybe just die now, I've already lived a very full life and I'm not sure I could manage much more!
