Yes, this is materialistic. My replacement list.

Yes, this is materialistic, but I'm just so darned proud and pleased.

Many of you know that when I split up with wildernessguru, most of my stuff didn't make it from Seattle. For example, none of my furniture, for reasons I do not wish to discuss right now.

Because I'm happy.

Three years ago I created a checklist of what I wanted to pull my apartment together. The theory being that once I'm through grad school and in my own place, working full-time, I'll limit the major expenses. I've pulled the material stuff of my life together very quickly, thanks to the low rent from my aunt, and my generous job.

It makes me feel sooo good to see that, my god, I've come a long way.

In bold are the big ticket items. You'll note that, where feasible, they're almost all there. Just the bed, the convection oven (got it!), and the living room stuff that I can't get yet since my place came partially furnished.

In short --- *\o/*

( The Starting Over Checklist )

Aside from kitchen supplies and a few big ticket items (like the bed and handmade futon mattress), the rebuilding is nearly done.
